Student Assessment of Distance Education Faculty and Courses
Please help us improve our courses and program by completing the online course assessment in WebCT. This is your opportunity to tell us what you think. Your feedback is critical to us so that we may provide the best educational services for you!
The assessment results are kept strictly confidential. Data from the assessment is submitted to the WebCT database in a survey format meaning you are considered an anonymous user. Faculty will see the anonymous data and be able to use that information to effect changes in their course, but they will not be able to determine individual student responses.
All we need for you to do is log into WebCT, click on the link to Course Assessment, and answer the questions under the link to Distance Learning Course Assessment (All Sections). Instructions on logging into WebCT and using the online assessment can be found below.
THANK YOU for taking the time to help us. We want to provide the best educational environment for you and your comments will surely help us do just that! If you have any questions regarding these assessments, please telephone the Director at 995-8870.
