Beginning this March with session 4 courses, all course evaluations will be conducted online. The evaluations will be administered through a program called EvaluationKit. Students will be invited to take the course evaluation survey through email. They can use a link in the email to find their surveys. They may also access surveys through a link on the tools menu under the My Institution page in Blackboard or the tools list on course pages in Blackboard. EvaluationKit is specifically designed for conducting course evaluations. All submissions are anonymous and faculty do not see the results until 2 weeks after the end of the course. Online course evaluations will save approximately 20,000 pieces of paper annually at Spalding!

Student participation in the course evaluation process is crucial. The results of the surveys are used by faculty to continuously improve instruction, course materials and subject matter. The results are also used in the University’s evaluation of faculty performance. More information is available at /about/technology/course-evaluation/, including a calendar of future surveys.

Please take a few minutes to complete the online surveys when you receive an email announcement. The emails will be sent to your Spalding email account, so be sure to check that or forward it to another account. For instructions on linking your email to your mobile device, visit /about/technology/spalding-mobile-access/. Or if you would like to forward your Spalding email to another account, click here /about/technology/portal/.
