Online Course Evaluations

Íæż½ã½ã uses Watermark, an online course evaluation software, which provides colleges and universities with instructor and course evaluations.

The goal of online course evaluations is to improve the culture of course evaluations, by offering a customizable Internet-based solution that will provide better information for faculty and administrators to make data-driven decisions.

Research indicates that students perceive a third party as offering greater assurances of anonymity compared to a program hosted by the school. The results are higher participation, more thought out responses, and a larger bank of usable data. 

 

Course Evaluation Schedules:

  • 5-Week Terms - 1 week before the last scheduled class day
  • 8/10-Week Terms - 2 weeks before the last scheduled class day
  • 15-Week Terms - 2 weeks before the last scheduled class day. Does NOT include finals week. Evaluations end the day before the first full day of finals
