For Faculty: Adding an Evaluate This Class tool to your course site.

This online help page explains how to add a direct link to the Teaching Questionnaire Evaluation Dashboard from your course site.

The Evaluate This Class tool allows you to provide a personalized message to students and provides a direct link to the Teaching Questionnaire Evaluations Dashboard, where students view and complete their course evaluations each term.

Note: Adding the Evaluate this Class tool does not create a teaching questionnaire for your course. Teaching questionnaires are ordered by staff in your department and entered into M-pathways. You can view teaching questionnaires for each of your classes in the Faculty Center. For more information see the Teaching Evaluation Online Help Page

For Students: Filling out a teaching questionnaire

To access a questionnaire, you will have to provide your UM uniqname and password. Identification is required to ensure that only authorized students submit evaluations and that each authorized student submits only one evaluation. Note, however, that no one will have access to any identifying data you submit. Your teacher will see a report summarizing the responses of your entire class, but the instructor will not be able to associate specific comments and ratings with specific students.

1... Open My Workspace by clicking its link in the left-hand menubar.

2... In My Workspace, click the Evaluate this class link in the left-hand menubar.

You will see a page with the link, "Teaching Questionnaires Dashboard", along with a message from your instructor.

3... Click Teaching Questionnaires Dashboard.

On the page, "Evaluations Dashboard", you will see a box titled "Current evaluations to take."  This lists currently-active evaluations, along with an indication of whether you have taken ("completed") them or not ("pending"). Also listed are the start and end dates when you can take each evaluation.

4... Click the course link in the Current Evaluations box to go to the questionnaire for that course or instructor.

5... In the questionnaire, click the "radio button" next to each response you would like to mark.

NOTE: Responses can be changed up to the closing of the evaluation period by following the same response procedure.

6... When you have finished, click Submit Evaluation.
