<\/em>Dear Colleagues,<\/span><\/p>\n

\"ink<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>The new course evaluation system is set to open on November 16<\/strong>,<\/span> the ninth week of the quarter. We used to encourage faculty\u00a0to begin\u00a0evaluations\u00a0in the seventh week, but that was due mostly to the time required to schedule, administer, transcribe and process them. Tabulation will now be done instantaneously once the evals are closed, following grade submission (except for tenure candidates).\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>The good news is that instructors no longer have to arrange for evals to be administered or submitted by anyone. However, since the evals are integrated with Canvas, there are some required preparatory steps.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Canvas<\/a>\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 All courses MUST have a published<\/i><\/span> Canvas site, even if\u00a0Canvas is not used for any other\u00a0reason in the course. See me or a colleague who uses Canvas if you do not know how to do that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 Faculty who have never used Canvas in a course still need to complete the Canvas introduction and quiz in order to publish a course.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Some other things to keep in mind:<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 There are no paper forms for the newly-negotiated Form E, the form that most courses use.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 Instructors will receive an email message when the evals open. The message will contain a link to the eval reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 Students will receive an email notice of the availability of the evaluations when they open and one email reminder before the evals close. All students who log on to Canvas will also see a pop-up reminder to complete the evals every time they log in until they have done so.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 Students can use phones, tablets or\u00a0computers to complete the evals and can pause their session and return later\u00a0two times before completing the survey.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>\u2022 Instructors can remind students in class or on Canvas to complete the evals, and can track the completion rate to see how many (but not which) students have completed the evals.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Based on the return rates during the summer trial of the system, it may not be necessary to give bonus points for submitting a completion certificate screen shot to encourage completion, but that and other methods of increasing response rates are still possible.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span>Please let me know if you have any other questions about the new system.<\/span><\/p>\n
