- Feedback windows are set by each course’s length, so feedback always happens in the final week or weeks of a course.
- Students get one email from “Syracuse University Course Feedback” listing all of their open forms, plus a notification in Blackboard.
- Instructors and administrators can track response rates as feedback comes in, and reports stay available in the system.
How it works each term
1
Start of term
Courses come in from Blackboard
OIE imports courses and sets each course’s feedback window based on its length.
2
Before feedback opens
Administrators confirm their courses
Course feedback administrators review their area’s courses, including cross-listed and combined sections, instructor and teaching assistant assignments, feedback dates, and any courses that are missing or should be excluded. OIE makes the final adjustments.
3
Near the end of each course
Feedback opens
Students and instructors are notified when feedback opens, and students who haven’t responded receive reminders until the window closes.
4
After grades are due
Reports open
Instructors and administrators get an email when reports are available. See Important Dates for this term’s schedule.
