Message from Fiona Allan, vice president, Academic:
As we work towards wrapping up the Spring/Summer Term, Niagara College is now administering course feedback surveys, a chance for students to reflect on the quality of their courses and provide honest, constructive feedback for our continuous improvement. The survey will be open until August 22.
I would like to ask for your support to promote the surveys among your students. Your advocacy plays an important role in underscoring the value of student feedback, and I encourage you to allow for time in class to complete them, if possible. The more we can all do to encourage student responses the more feedback we will receive.
Organized and administered by the Centre for Academic Excellence (CAE), the information we receive from course feedback surveys allows us to assess our courses and programs and innovate to provide the best quality education and student experience at NC.
You can assure your students that Course Feedback Surveys are completely confidential.
Students will receive an email with instructions on how to access their surveys via Blackboard. Surveys can be completed from any device or computer.
Faculty members can view the list of their courses being surveyed and how many students have completed the survey in real time through Blackboard. To view the final results, log in a week after the course ends (log in to Blackboard and click on the ‘MyBlackboard’ tab. View the ‘MyCoursEval’ section with your courses hyperlinked).
A note that surveys will be open for the majority of post-secondary credit courses with some exceptions.
Tips on how to increase response rates as well as additional resources and FAQs may be accessed at niagaracollege.ca/coursefeedback. For more information, contact the CAE at [email protected].
Thank you,
Fiona Allan
Vice President, Academic
