Promotion and Giving Feedback
Western has a variety of approaches for encouraging students to complete their Student Questionnaires on Courses and Teaching. These include:
- Information about the Your Feedback system and the course feedback period is sent to students, instructors, and administrators before the feedback period opens
- A direct link to the Your Feedback system is sent to students when their questionnaires are available; two reminder emails are sent at regular intervals to students who have not completed their questionnaires
- Email are sent to faculty when their course questionnaire becomes available
- Email are sent to faculty asking them to check response rates during the course feedback period and consider ways in which they might wish to encourage student participation
