Course Evaluations: Your Feedback is Crucial!
Course Evaluations: Your Feedback is Crucial!
Your feedback is crucial to help faculty improve their courses and to help other students plan their schedules. You’ve been sent an email invitation to submit anonymous evaluations of your courses. Please fill them out and share your thoughts with us. We want to hear from you!
The evaluation period is open until May 6. You will receive an email reminder every other day until all of your course evaluations are completed. Once evaluations are closed you will be unable to submit an evaluation.
Please contact Vanessa Edouard at vbe@bu.edu with questions.
Frequently Asked Questions about the Student Course Evaluations
Q: Are the course evaluations really anonymous?
A: Yes, the faculty see the same compiled report that you are able to see.
Q: Where can I see the results of course evaluations?
A: There is a link to the compiled results of course evaluations on the Student Insider (http://sph.bu.edu/studentinsider/).
Q: How does the course evaluation system really work?
A: We compile a list of email addresses for every student in each of the courses. These email addresses are programmed into the evaluation system, which is what prompts the system to send the reminder emails. Once the evaluation period closes, all of the email addresses are automatically deleted from the system in order to maintain anonymity.
Q: How is my course evaluation feedback used?
A: The primary reason we collect course evaluations is to better understand what is happening in the classroom. The faculty use course evaluation data as guidance as they revise their courses for the next time they are offered. Your written responses are extremely helpful in this process.
