Absolutely love the course evaluations. Thanks for all your hard work on that. But, as you know, there's always more improvements. One thing I thought of was to have a clearly visible tally for each evaluation under the report section so that we can see at a glance how many students are in the course and how many have already finished the evaluation.

Valerie Hobbs We have to report a response rate to our accreditors. We are currently having to print, modify and archive all course evaluations. Very time consuming.

Toby Robinson "course eval response rate" is now under "term statistics."
-
Dee McOwen It seems that the completion rate is based on the total number of courses offered instead of the courses that require evaluations to be completed. We don't require evaluations for individualized courses such as practicums, independent studies, and some of our colloquia. So the statistic does not accurately reflect the completion rate. Is this something that could be changed, or added to the statistics on the semester info page?

Adam Sentz @Dee - Do you have any documentation from your accrediting body you could forward us that specifies when you can exempt courses from evaluations?
The problem I see with this approach is that it's going from What percentage of enrolled students completed an evaluation in this term to What percentage of enrolled students who were offered an evaluation to complete completed and evaluation in this term. So, in theory, you could have a single one student course where that student completed an evaluation, and have an 100% completion rate if that was the only course with an eval attached.

Barb Van Solkema We would like to have a course evaluation response rate for each individual course as well.
We are monitoring the response rate(s) since the rate continues to decline after we switched from paper to online.

Kristen McLean Seeing the response rate for each course would also be helpful when reading the results. This would help show whether the answers and averages come from few, half, or most of the students.

Satya Levine We would also appreciate being able to see an overview of the response rate by course for course evaluations. This would be helpful for monitoring and knowing when we need to remind students. It also shows us if a course has met the threshold we have set for the faculty to be able to view the evaluations. At present, there's no easy way to see this. My ideal would be a reporting dashboard that shows:
- A top level filter to select the current term or a past term
- Term Summary: Total courses/sections #, Total seats #, Total responses #, Total responses %
- a table with the following columns: CourseName, Section, Faculty, Enrollment #, Responses #, Responses %
- ability to click on the name of the course to view a summary of responses for that course
