Course Evaluations

The centralized process of administering course evaluations and the development of 13 core questions was designed to improve the quality of the course evaluation questions used and to reflect 果冻传媒鈥檚 commitment to student success.听 By providing the course evaluations through an online format, our goal is to improve student access and reduce processing time.

Course evaluations from Fall, 2019 through Spring, 2021 were conducted through a program called CampusLabs.
If you need access to course evaluations from this time, contact CourseEvaluations@utoledo.edu.听 听

Beginning in Summer, 2021, 果冻传媒's end-of-semester course evaluations are conducted through the Qualtrics system.

To access evaluation results from Summer, 2021 through Summer, 2024, log in with your UTAD credentials to

After you log in, click on "Reports_2021-2024".听 Filters along the top of the dashboard will allow you to navigate through your collected data. It may take a few moments for your evaluation results to load.

If you have questions regarding access to course evaluations, email CourseEvaluations@utoledo.edu.听 听

how to download course evaluation results from Qualtrics

There is an option to Export the dashboard to the right, above the filters, where you are able to either download or receive via email.听 You are provided with seven options for the report format: PDF, JPG, PPTX, DOCX, CSV, TSV or XLSX.

Note: Exporting a PDF report may not capture all comment responses if there is a long list.听 If you need to download more comments than what is displayed in the PDF, select the 鈥溾�︹�� in the upper right of the comment boxes:

Select "Export" and you can then select to download the comments as a CSV file.听听

When you download the CSV files from Q11, Q12 and Q13, you will receive a notification that the file is ready for download.听 If you click the bell on the upper right corner of the page, you will see a notice indicating the file is ready for download.听 You will need to generate and download a separate CSV file for each of the three comment questions.

How Core questions were developed

The committee was charged with developing and testing a common core of course evaluation questions and exploring a standardized method for deploying course evaluations to students.听听

1. Use a 4-point scale to ensure comparable scoring. If your scale contains, for example, 鈥淣either Agree nor Disagree,鈥� consider changing it to 鈥淣o opinion鈥� or 鈥淣ot Applicable鈥� or some other option and code it as 5 to match the coding of 鈥淣ot Applicable鈥� used with the 13 CORE questions.
   
   
2. If using your own scales, make sure that all response options are mutually exclusive and form a meaningful progression from less to more. For example,

• If assessing confidence, response options should represent different degrees of confidence.
• If assessing familiarity, response options should represent different degrees of familiarity.
• If assessing awareness, response options should represent different degrees of awareness, etc.

3. Stay consistent with the best practice implemented in the 13 CORE questions by making your questions about the course, not about the instructor. For example,

• • You may want to say, 鈥淐ourse concepts/ideas were clearly communicated鈥� instead of 鈥淭he instructor communicated course concepts/ideas clearly.鈥� This would also allow for capturing clarity of communicating ideas in lecture notes or any other ways used in the course.

4. Stay consistent with the best practice implemented in the 13 CORE questions by making your questions about the student completing the evaluation. For example,

• • You may want to say, 鈥淚 felt comfortable expressing my ideas鈥� instead 鈥淭he instructor encourages students to express ideas.鈥� Not only will this help generate more accurate data (students may not know about every student in the course and should not be asked to generalize), but this will also make it easier for students to respond.

5. Avoid questions that tap into more than one aspect of the course experience. For example:

• Students might be able to get help during office hours but not necessarily outside of office hours. Combining both in one question makes it impossible to know which part students may or may not agree with.
• The syllabus may have clear grading criteria but the student may disagree with them. Combining both in one question makes it impossible to know which part students may or may not agree with.

6. Include questions that are pertinent only to the course in question, not any previous or other courses.

7. Avoid asking questions that require additional work or recall (e.g., comparing course experience to what is stated in the syllabus).

8. Avoid technical terms that students may not understand or routinely use (e.g., foundational knowledge).
