Previewing Courses and Instrument
Approximately two weeks prior to the start of the main course evaluation administration, faculty will receive an email listing the courses that will be evaluated along with the open and close dates of the evaluations and the date that the course evaluation reports will become available. At that time, faculty may review their courses, students, and the instrument through the course evaluation portal. Specific instructions for previewing the courses and course evaluation instrument prior to evaluations are available through video or step-by-step directions.
Questions may be directed to courseeval@tulane.edu.
Tracking & Response Rates
During the course evaluation period, response rates may be monitored in several ways:
- Canvas: Instructors may monitor response rates directly through Canvas through the response rate tracker on their Canvas course home page.
- Email: Instructors periodically receive emails from the system providing updates on the response rates for each of their courses. In addition, the emails provide instructors with their unique link to access the system and monitor response rates at any time during the evaluation period.
- Gibson Portal: The Course Evaluation system may be accessed by logging into the Gibson portal, clicking on the "Faculty" menu, then clicking on "Course Evaluations" on the left-hand menu in the "Services" section. Once in the Course Evaluation system, response rate information is available on the faculty dashboard.
Accessing Results
- List of Respondents: Once the course evaluation period closes, instructors are able to download a list of respondents for their courses with more than five completed evaluations.
Instructions for downloading a response roster are available through video or step-by-step directions. - Results Reports: About two weeks after the end of the semester, course evaluation results reports are available in the Course Evaluation system. The system may be accessed in several ways:
