Student Opinion Surveys are an important tool for students to provide anonymous feedback at the end of a course about their instructors, course content, and their overall course experience. Feedback from students is compiled at the end of each semester and various reports are created. To access these tools, you must log in with your 91¶ÌÊÓƵ and Password. All student opinion reports are best viewed in Google Chrome.

To Monitor participation and encourage student involvement. An up to the minute report that allows you to see how many surveys have been submitted for your courses. Based on this you may wish to try different options to increase participation such as allotting several minutes during class time for students to complete their course survey or offering extra credit for participation. It can also be helpful to tell the students how you use the information to improve your courses.

FAQs
Reports are available two weeks after the last day of exams.
Students can provide feedback for courses that are eligible and have an instructor of record. If you were listed as instructor, and the course doesn't show up, then no survey was completed for that course. If "staff" was listed as the instructor, you will not see those records either.
The types of courses that are not eligible are: Independent Studies, Tutorial, Dissertation/Thesis, Lecture/Studio, Programmed Instruction, Computer-Assisted Instruction, Telecourse, NonCredit Instruction and Pre-ISI/Inactive/No Type.
Additionally, to protect student anonymity, instructors cannot view reports for courses with an enrollment of less than or equal to five. This information can be viewed in aggregate reports if combined enrollment is greater than five. It can also be viewed by the chair and dean.
In Banner, you were listed as instructor for that course, and a student filled out the survey.
Faculty can only view the results for courses taught by them. Chairs can view the reports for all courses assigned to their departments and Deans can view Student Opinion Survey Reports for any course in their college. The Provost has access to all courses. No one else can view this confidential information.
Click on the circled triangle icon (Run as), on the top left corner of your report. You will see a list of options to choose from. Choose the desired format and save the report.
Aggregate reports are created only for courses that are marked in Banner as being cross-listed. This report combines all the surveys submitted for any of the cross-listed courses into one all-encompassing report.
If you have trouble logging in, contact ITS Help Desk at 683-3189. If you are a new Dean or Chair, provide your college and department information along with your full name.
