Online Course Evaluation Site Request

How does the process work?

Use the form below to request that an online course evaluation for your course be generated.

NOTE that by filling out this request, you are also accepting full responsibility for the survey results once they become available. I.T. will not guarantee that this data will be available years after the submission date.

Evaluation Templates already exist for many departments:


Please inform your department that you have submitted this request so that they do not prepare traditional paper evaluations for your course.

At the current time, faculty in CUST and ENGL may NOT opt in to the online evaluation process.

**UPDATED**: Courses with fewer than 20 enrolled students are NOT ELIGIBLE
for online evaluations because anonymity cannot be guaranteed and setup is not cost-effective.

Submitter's List for awarding incentives for evaluation completion  *  :
   
It's strongly suggested that an incentive be offered for completion of the evaluation. Good incentives used in the past are an "exam hints" document, a copy of last year's exam, 0.5 to 1 point of the participation mark, "drop the lowest quiz mark" if applicable, etc. One instructor promises every year to release an exam hints sheet only if 75-80% of the class participates, with good results.  Submitters lists will be sent to the faculty member after the evaluation period is complete.

         I will be awarding an incentive of some sort to students who submit so I will  need a submitter's list
         I will not be awarding a bonus to submitters  ( PSYC instructors may not offer a bonus )
   
Enrollment Requirements  *  :
 
 The enrollment in this course is 20 students or more
 The enrollment in this course is fewer than 20 students -- PLEASE DON'T SUBMIT THIS REQUEST
 This is a WEB course and must be evaluated online.

Here's how the process works:

Once we've received your request, we use the evaluation template for your department (or another format if requested) to create a SEPARATE learningSystem course site for each survey. The faculty member will have temporary access to the course site to verify its contents. We compile a list of students requiring access to particular surveys, and load these students into the course.

The students will see the course evaluation as if it were a separate course. If you'd like to offer an incentive for completing the survey (like a copy of last year's final) then please send it to us and we'll post it in the survey course.

Once the deadline per course is passed, we will forward to each instructor the names of students who completed the questionnaire (if incentives are being offered)

After marks have been submitted, we will compile the results into a PDF report for each faculty so that they can view their results electronically and save them for future use. NOTE that according to the current collective agreements, TUFA faculty own their evaluation results. The results for CUPE faculty can and will be shared with Department Chairs at their request.

The LearningSystem has been used successfully for collecting this sort of data from students for more than five years. The results from past online course evaluations have not been surprising -- if the LearningSystem/WebCT is being used as a major component to the course, then the surveys have been well-responded to.

Note that after the survey results are released to you, YOU and only YOU are responsible for printing/saving/archiving the data. We cannot guarantee that we will be able to re-produce this data in the years to come, and there is not a process in place where we will automatically release/print/send this data to departmental chairs, etc.
