Purpose of Course Evaluations
Student input is a valuable component of curriculum evaluation. Course evaluations are used by the department faculty as part of curriculum evaluation, to assess course effectiveness, and to guide revisions to courses and the overall Program. These evaluations are also used as part of faculty assessment and are included in faculty dossiers for reappointment and promotion. Constructive feedback assists the faculty’s ongoing development of individual courses and the curriculum as a whole. Students are encouraged to provide ongoing feedback to course coordinators and their academic advisory committee.
