Course evaluations are open!
Fall 2024 deadlines:
- December 4 (condensed evaluation period)
- December 21 (default evaluation period)
Fall 2024 deadlines:
Your students are more inclined to complete course evaluations if they know that the results will be available to them. In addition to providing you with valuable feedback, course evaluation results can be helpful for students when they are deciding which courses to take.
Ìý
Numerical results of course evaluations,Ìýwith the exception of Teaching Assistant results, are accessible by Â鶹Çø students and academic staff for courses when the following two conditions are met:
Class Size | Response Rate (%) |
---|---|
5 - 11 | minimum 5 responses |
12 - 30 | at least 40% |
31 - 100 | at least 35% |
101 - 200 | at least 30% |
201 or more | at least 25% |
Numerical results from the Winter 2020 term will not be disseminated to the public even if permission was granted by the instructor and the response threshold is met.
Written comments are always treated as confidential and are never disseminated. (See policy).
For courses with multiple instructors, all instructors assigned to the course must not object to access for course evaluation results to be disseminated to students.
Ìý
As of the Fall 2017 term, instructors can make permission decisions on a term-by-term basis rather than by academic year. A benefit of this change is that it allows students to view Fall term results when registering for courses for the upcoming academic year.
Ìý | WINTER 2025 | SUMMER 2025 | FALL 2024 |
---|---|---|---|
Instructors can register decisions between: | March 1 - May 31, 2025 | June 1 - September 30, 2025 | November 1 - February 28, 2025 |
Course evaluation results become available on: | June 2, 2025 | October 1, 2025 | March 3, 2025 |
If you do not register a decision by the deadline, the numerical portion of all your course evaluation results from the current term will be disseminated to students provided that an adequate response rate has been received.
Permission decisions cannot be changed for previous terms once a deadline has passed.
As at December 2019:
62% of instructors have granted permission for their results to be made available.
31% have denied permission.
7% have accessed the form but did not indicate a preference.
By actively providing consent to make your course evaluation results available to students, you let the University know that you are aware of the Course Evaluations Policy. This allows us to assess the effectiveness of our communications strategies. It also improves our ability to report on the number of instructors who have granted and denied permission.
Course evaluation results, both numerical ratings and comments, belong to the course instructor. Therefore, you can share your results as you please, such as on your website, in publications, or at conferences. If your course is co-taught, students’ feedback about the course belongs to all course instructors teaching that course. As a professional courtesy, you should check with your co-instructor(s) before sharing results from co-taught courses.
While this web page is accessible worldwide, Â鶹Çø is on land which has served and continues to serve as a site of meeting and exchange amongst Indigenous peoples, including the Haudenosaunee and Anishinabeg nations. Teaching and Learning Services acknowledges and thanks the diverse Indigenous peoples whose footsteps mark this territory on which peoples of the world now gather. This land acknowledgement is shared as a starting point to provide context for further learning and action.
