COURSE EVALUATIONS: A brief overview
Every term,
students are asked to evaluate the courses they are enrolled in. STU uses a
blended approach to facilitate that process and to maximize participation. On-ground courses use the traditional
paper-based forms, while the online students use an online form to evaluate
their courses.
Each course has
a unique “section”
or “location”
code which determines whether your class is classified as On-ground, Online,
Blended, Independent Study, or Internship.
Example: MAT-602-170
If an on-ground
class is following a blended format, but has an on-ground location or section
number, please advise the Registrar’s office, so that it can be correctly
classified in the system.

Each course
evaluation cycle, the system sends an automated email to the official
professor listed on the course, with a link and instructions for students
to complete the online evaluation.
By design, once
a student has completed the course evaluation, they will no longer be able to
view that particular course on their drop-down menu.
