Are course evaluation results anonymous?
Yes. Students’ login information is not associated with the data they have submitted on a particular evaluation. Each student’s identifying information, the evaluations they need to complete, and the status of whether each has been completed is completely disconnected from the evaluation results that are submitted. An analogy to this is a presidential ballot, where you are given one ballot after you have verified your identity. You fill out the ballot in secret and then submit it to a machine that records your responses. Your responses are never connected to your identity. In the same way, responses submitted with Course Response could never be connected to the person who submitted the responses. Digital Measures has gone to great lengths to ensure a person’s identity can never be connected to the results they submit.
