Improving Response Rates

Getting high response rates is critical to getting usable data. The system will be set up to automatically email students when their course evaluations are first opened. Students will then receive multiple reminders depending on the length of the evaluation window. In addition to the college-wide reminders, individual instructors are able to send their own reminders to students. We recommend that you take advantage of this feature, as students are more likely to respond to your request than to a system request. The video "Getting Great Response Rates" below will show you how to increase your student response rates.

You can also add a SmartEvals link to your D2L course shell. Click the button below to learn how to make it easier for your students to get to your evaluation.

The posters below have a QR code that will direct the students to the SmartEvals login.
