Summer Session Course Evaluations

Cyber course evaluations are now available within your online course(s). First summer session (5-week) courses are nearing an end, so it is time for students in these online courses to complete their evaluation.

If you are an instructor of an online course for the first five week session, please post an announcement in your course instructing students to complete the end of course evaluation by clicking on the "Course Evaluation" button on the course menu.

Students were instructed on the "Course Evaluation" page to click on "Mark Reviewed" after completing the evaluation. If they do this : ) , then you will be able to see who has complete it by following the steps noted below.

  1. Go to your course within Blackboard
  2. Click on "Course Evaluation" on your course menu on the left
  3. Click "Edit View" in the upper right corner
  4. Click the "Manage" button found on the right
  5. Click on "Adaptive Release and Review Status: User Progress"

From that screen you will be able to see who has clicked on "Mark Reviewed".

Granted, this is assuming that students will read the directions and will be honest, but it may at least give you some idea of student completion of the course evaluation surveys. We appreciate your assistance in encouraging students to complete these evaluations.
