Improving the Student Experience Through Targeted Feedback
The End of Course Survey is an official data collection tool that serves multiple purposes and stakeholders. In addition to gathering student feedback on courses and instructors, it is also used to:
- Measure progress on University goals and initiatives.
- Measure student engagement, success, and well-being.
- Give students the opportunity to share their perspective on their courses, campus programs, University services, and the school environment.
- Inform quality assurance efforts and accreditation requirements.
Please encourage your students to participate in the End of Course Survey. Some faculty do this by offering extra credit to students who complete it. If you would like to offer extra credit, please add the End of Course Survey to your course by following the instructions in the video below.
When the survey is added to your course as an assignment, extra credit is awarded in the gradebook automatically, as soon as students complete the survey in your section. To receive the points, students must access the survey via the link in the course.
If a student has not finished the survey for your course, clicking the link will let them evaluate your course and will tell Canvas that they have completed it.
If they have finished the survey for your course, clicking the link will tell Canvas that they have finished your survey and will not make the student take it again.
BYU-Idaho is student-focused by design, and all students are encouraged to participate in the End of Course Survey. If you have questions about the survey, visit the Student FAQ page, the Faculty FAQ page, or contact measurement@byui.edu.
