Course Evaluations


COURSE EVALUATIONS: A brief overview

Every term, students are asked to evaluate the courses they are enrolled in. STU uses a blended approach to facilitate that process and to maximize participation.  On-ground courses use the traditional paper-based forms, while the online students use an online form to evaluate their courses.

Each course has a unique “section” or “location” code which determines whether your class is classified as On-ground, Online, Blended, Independent Study, or Internship.
Example: MAT-602-170

If an on-ground class is following a blended format, but has an on-ground location or section number, please advise the Registrar’s office, so that it can be correctly classified in the system.

Each course evaluation cycle, the system sends an automated email to the official professor listed on the course, with a link and instructions for students to complete the online evaluation.

By design, once a student has completed the course evaluation, they will no longer be able to view that particular course on their drop-down menu.
