• Allows the chair or dean to compare faculty in a unit to: - all other faculty at UB;- those in a particular decanal area;- those in a particular department.

• Provides the ability to drill down to see the names of faculty who are receiving ratings above or below average.


• Course evaluation data will be most useful when response rates are high (at least 75%).

• Research shows that students are most likely to complete evaluations when the importance of evaluations is discussed in class.

• Deans and Chairs can ensure that faculty are communicating to students the importance of course evaluations for improving the instructional environment at UB.

Your Participation is Important!


• Evaluations can be completed on any mobile device.

• Instructors may provide time in class for students to complete evaluations on smart phones, tablets and laptops.

• This will have a big impact on response rates.

Mobile-Responsive Technology

• Instructors or staff cannot see the identity of respondents, nor can they link responses to a specific student.
