How to Use

Download the template and review the complete evaluation instrument before administering to students. Clarify any questions that might be confusing to your student population. Consider administering the evaluation midway through the semester to allow time for course improvements, or at the end for final assessment. Provide clear instructions explaining that responses are confidential and will not be viewed until after grades are submitted. Allow adequate time for thoughtful student completion without pressuring quick responses. Collect evaluations electronically or on paper depending on your institutional preference and student access. Once collected, carefully review both quantitative ratings and qualitative comments. Look for patterns in feedback and areas mentioned repeatedly by multiple students. Share student feedback with colleagues for perspective, then develop specific improvement plans addressing major themes.
