Students Evaluations FAQ

Q: What do I do if I cannot access my evaluations?

A: If you do not see MyCourseEval on your course Canvas, contact your professor to add the link immediately.  If you have MyCourseEval on your course Canvas and cannot access course evaluation, please contact DoIt at 910 521 6260 immediately. 

Q: I missed the deadline to fill out the evaluation - can I fill it out now?

A: No, online evaluations may not be filled out once the survey is closed. 

Q: I've made a mistake filling out the evaluation.  can I correct it or take it back?

A: Yes,  you can change your answers while the evaluation is still open.  Once closed, you will not be able to change your answers. 

Q: Why do I see two surveys for the same course?

A: You will see two surveys for each graduate course because both SEI and GCA are administered for all graduate courses.

Q: Will my grade in the course be influenced by my evaluation?

A: No, this is not possible.  Instructors and TAs are not able to see their evaluation reports until they have turned in grades.  The evaluation reports they are provided contain aggregated information and no specific responses or ratings can be linked back to individual students.  Some instructors may choose to give participation credit to students for completing evaluations.  If this is the case, failing to complete evaluations for that course would mean losing the extra/participation credit offered for completing them.

Q: Will my professor and TA be able to read my comments?

A: Yes, even though the survey itself does not contain any respondent's identifying information, the instructors will be able to read the written comments.  Please be thoughtful as these are used for instructional development, and serve to help future students.

Q: How many reminders will I receive?

A: We send reminders every three days once the survey is open and until it closes as long as you have not completed them.  Once you complete a survey for a course you will no longer receive further reminders for that course.

Q: Is participation in evaluating my instructors required?

A: Participation in evaluations is voluntary.  However, your feedback is a valued resource and essential for instructional development at UNCP.  Thank you for your participation.
