Message from Fiona Allan, Vice-President, Academic:

As the end of the Fall 2022 Term approaches, Niagara College is administering course feedback surveys, an opportunity 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 December 19.

I am requesting your support to promote the surveys among your students. Your advocacy plays a vital role in emphasizing the importance 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.  It is especially important that we have this feedback as we engage in discussions on flexible course delivery.

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.

Through Blackboard, faculty can view the list of their courses being surveyed and how many students have completed the survey in real time. To view the final results, log in to Blackboard a week after the course ends (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 during this timeframe.

For tips on how to help bolster response rates and for additional resources and FAQs, visit: niagaracollege.ca/coursefeedback. For more information, contact the CAE at [email protected].

Thank you,

Fiona Allan
Vice President, Academic
