Course Evaluations

Syracuse University requires that students be provided with a formal opportunity to comment on their experiences in all University courses. This requirement extends to students who take Syracuse University courses through Project Advance as well.

The course evaluations serve two purposes: 1. to provide direct feedback to instructors for use in planning the teaching of the course in the future, and 2. to provide campus faculty liaisons with information concerning the overall effectiveness of the course curriculum and areas for ongoing improvement.

Since the fall of 2007, all Project Advance course evaluations were conducted online.  The change to online course evaluations greatly reduced the amount of paperwork instructors need to manage and reduced the amount of time needed to return results to the instructors by 75%.
