Course evaluations can be accessed via Sakai by students(if you login with your onyen).

Students will see a “Course Evals” option on the left-hand menu in Sakai. Clicking on that option will show their course evaluations within the Sakai environment.

The College is now using the Blue Course Evaluation System to evaluate courses.

Each semester instructors will receive 1-3 emails with a direct link to access their courses’ response rates.

Instructors can also log into Blue at any time via ConnectCarolina.  The Blue Course Evaluation System menu option will appear under Self Service and/or Student Administration in the left hand menu.  This will take you to the Blue Dashboard which will show open tasks and have an option for checking response rates.

The Blue Course Evaluation System includes a feature which allows instructors to add personalized questions to their end of course evaluations.  Access to this feature is granted by the department.  Any instructor who has been granted access will receive an email from the system approximately two weeks prior to course evaluations with the dates for adding questions.

Step-by-step instructions for how to add questions to your evaluations can be found here: Question Personalization Directions (updated 2017-02-07).

If you have questions about your inclusion or exclusion from this feature, please speak with your department’s course evaluation coordinator and/or your chair.

If you have questions about how to use this feature, please contact Heather Thompson, the College Course Evaluation Coordinator.

We have posted the instruments currently being used by College departments (please see below section) for those who wish to review the current questions before selecting their additional questions.
