Instructors use your responses to improve teaching and course design.
As student leaders, you are well-placed to help encourage your members to complete their course evaluations.Ìý
What can I do?
-
Make in-class announcements about the importance of course evaluations. This can be particularly effective in large, 100- and 200-level classes.
-
Send emails from your student association listserv about the importance of course evaluations.
-
Post reminders on your association's Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram accounts using the available graphics.
-
Encourage instructors, through sending emails or setting up meetings, to:
-
allow students time during class, conferences, tutorials, or labs to complete their evaluations;
-
give an incentive to the class (e.g., an additional review session) if the class response rate exceeds an agreed-upon target;
-
promote course evaluations through their myCourses page - instructions are available here;
-
grant permission to disseminate their numerical course evaluation results to the ÎÛÎÛ²ÝÝ®ÊÓƵ community.
-
-
Hold a raffle for members of your association who completed their course evaluations by the deadline - each person's entry could be a screenshot from Minerva that shows they have completed their evaluations for the semester.
-
Change computer lab banners toÌýMercury graphicsÌýand set the browser default homepage to theÌýMercury website homepage.
