A message from the Centre for Academic Excellence:

Niagara College faculty are committed to teaching excellence and work hard to ensure that students benefit from informative, challenging, and engaging courses during their studies at Niagara College. Collecting and reviewing thoughtful feedback from your students on how well they learned and progressed in your courses is an important step in your ongoing efforts to maintain and improve the quality of your courses and to grow and develop as educators.

Please inform the students enrolled in your courses that end on April 22 that there will be a link to the Course Feedback survey under “Course Information” on the Blackboard course menu for each of their courses, but it will only be active until midnight on April 22.  Once the course has ended and the survey has closed, the link will become inactive. If you have courses that end on a different date, the survey link will be live for those courses during the last two weeks of the course only.

Please encourage students to provide considered, constructive feedback on the courses that they are taking this term. The survey takes approximately five minutes to complete for each course. FAQs for students, administrators, and faculty have been posted to the Niagara College Quality Assurance website for further reference:  www.niagaracollege.ca/qasurvey

If the survey link isn’t working for an individual student or an entire class, please report the course code, section(s), student ID (if applicable), and the error message to Terri Stevens at [email protected] and she will forward the issue to the appropriate IT person to try to fix it as quickly as possible.

Once final grades are available to the students, you may login to view the course feedback results and run various reports at coursefeedback.niagaracollege.ca. If you are a new faculty member and haven’t received your login information, an email will be sent out shortly. If you haven’t received your login by the time the term has ended, please contact [email protected].
