Complete the course evaluation on Blackboard. Unfortunately, I cannot provide specific instructions for how to access the Blackboard survey, but the process should mirror that of prior semesters. If you prefer, you may use an alternative form that I created for this course.

If you complete the alternative form, I will merge the feedback with the “official” results after the semester. Enough students have trouble with Blackboard that providing an alternate submission opportunity seemed valuable. Feedback on the alternate form remains anonymous.

Only complete the course evaluation once.

I have and continue to make substantial changes to courses based on feedback from students. Most changes are the result of a good response rate for the course evaluation (i.e., more than 75% of students) and specific comments, both negative and positive, that allow me to pinpoint problem areas or practices to continue. General comments about, for example, “vague requirements” are rarely implementable; even though such comments make me aware of an issue, there’s no guarantee that I will be able to identify the specific assignment and requirement(s) that were especially problematic for students.

Your feedback really matters!
