ICIT provides course evaluation services that allow students to evaluate academic courses and instructors. Evaluation services are available using either an online methodology (the Class Climate system from Scantron) or in a traditional print format.
The online course evaluation system, Class Climate, can be used for any type of course, whether it is a traditional classroom course, a hybrid course, or a course that is entirely online. It can be used for either 8-week, 16-week, summer or Winterim courses.
Evaluations are sent to students via email; students complete the form and submit, and the central system tabulates the results and sends a completed report to department chairs and their designates.

Current Online Evaluation Process Followed by online evals team
Online evals team will generate an extract of all classes/sections from WINS
The generated spreadsheets will be sent to ADAs/Department Chairs
ADAs/Department Chairs will work with instructional faculty to denote which class/section they would like surveyed and submit the questions they would like asked for each class and section
Once the selection spreadsheets are returned to ICIT, the selections entered in the spreadsheet by the ADAs/Department Chair will be used to develop the online surveys in Online Course Evaluation tool
ICIT will pull a final class/section extract from WINS after the final drop date for the term. This extract will then be uploaded to include the student data and final course data in online survey tool and create the surveys for the term. This extract will include all students who are currently enrolled in the class/section.
The online evals team will send out a confirmation spreadsheet to the ADAs/Department Chair. This spreadsheet will provide them an opportunity to confirm that:
Online Course Evaluations Open / Close
Participation reports will be sent starting the day after surveys close to ADAs as a spreadsheet for distribution to instructors.
Final reports will be sent to all instructors for which they were requested (on the initial selection spreadsheet) one week following the final grades due date.
In order to streamline the billing process, please make sure to enter your department's 10-digit org code that should be used for chargebacks for this service in the survey questionnaire spreadsheet from step 2.

The traditional print format for course evaluations requires departments to purchase pre-formatted answer sheets, and manually distribute in class for students to complete. The completed evaluation forms are hand-delivered to the Help Desk, where the machine-readable answer sheets are scanned and processed, and the results are distributed in PDF format. Once scanned, the evaluations are then mailed back via intercampus mail. The printed Course Evaluation Services are provided by ICIT's Network Operations Center (NOC).
