I searched, but can't find the webpage that says the number of students who turned in a course eval. I need to know if I got credit (we needed 75% turned in). Anybody got it?

if that link doesn't directly work (b/c you may have to be signed in), just go to http://classeval.ncsu.edu and click the "For more information about ClassEval" link.

From section 5: ...There is no penalty to students who decline to submit evaluations...

5.2 No form of incentive should be provided to increase response rate.

thanks for the link, roxy. Looks like I'm getting my bribery points...

I know adding an incentive can skew results (I'm sure a Statistics major would love to explain it), but I think if the University really wants these things to go through, there's got to be some kind of incentive. Maybe each college could offer cash/ipod/something to students who fill out all evaluations.

<- stat major. Here is my take on online class evals...the response rate is dramatically less, mainly because when they were in class and essentially they made you do it. Now that they are online, the responses mean a lot more. You do it on your own time, not when they force you to..giving you time to think about your responses if needed. The people who were just ehh about the class and don't care more than likely won't respond, and you get the students who have more opinion one way or another...but the teachers just want to see what worked well and what didnt work well, which will show up still on the online survey. Also being able to type in your response in the open-ended questions will 1) have more students fill in that area, and 2) be more elaborate in their response. Its a trade off, if I was a teacher, I'd rather pick optional online surveys than mandatory in class surveys because the responses would be better and mean more to myself coming from an online survey.

ha. one of my professors last year gave us 10 bonus points on our final for having 90%+ fill out the course evals.
