What are the advantages of evaluating courses electronically?
Evaluating courses online is fast, easy, convenient, secure, anonymous, confidential, and, above all, important! Course evaluation results are used by faculty to improve teaching, and they are a significant component in the promotion and tenure process. The paper process is wasteful and difficult to administer. The course evaluation data are not maintained digitally, so they are unavailable for analysis. Evaluations are returned to the faculty member so long after the course is complete that the student feedback may no longer be useful.
