7.1 Purpose of Course Evaluations
Student input is a valuable component of course and curriculum evaluation. Throughout your career as a health professional, you will be asked to participate responsibly in peer and program evaluation. That process starts during student life. Professional, constructive feedback assists the faculty’s ongoing development of individual courses and the curriculum as a whole. In addition to completing course evaluations at the end of the semester, students are encouraged to provide ongoing, constructive feedback to their instructors, academic advisors, and/or the Department Chair and Program Director. Mid-semester surveys are also used to obtain student collaboration and feedback.
