It’s most definitely been a challenging time with the transition from residential to online learning. With balancing the changes in instruction while #socialdistancing, it’s important, now more than ever, for the University to be able to assess students’ needs, especially when it comes to academic learning. Be sure to submit course feedback! This is one of the best ways for the student body to give direct and constructive feedback to help the University make changes.
While you’re filling out evaluations, here are some things to keep in mind this time around:
In this case, less is NOT more. Be as descriptive as possible!
Areas of student learning cannot be fixed if diverse experiences are not shared. Since students are currently spread across the globe and accessing course material differently, it is important to know how things can be improved in circumstances like this and in general for future students.
Think about what you wish had been different this semester and what you liked.
Were there online activities that you really liked during the online transition? Are there technological resources that you wish you had access to? This semester has been uniquely different and challenging unlike anything we’ve ever experienced before. Think about how the semester started and how it is ending and what parts of the course should be improved upon and what went well.
And remember…
All of the information that you submit via the course feedback portal is confidential and used to enhance the productivity of your classes! Feedback can be provided through April 29 and aggregated results are not provided to instructors until after grades are due.
Continue to work hard during this time as we wrap up the end of the semester while practicing healthy distancing habits as well! To learn more about course feedback, visit the .
