Main page for instructions of course feedback tool
At Aalto University, course feedback is collected from almost all courses. On these pages you will find teacher's instructions for using the course feedback tool on MyCourses.
End-of-course survey functions in the course feedback tool are automated. As a teacher, you can count on, for example, that you and the students will receive reminders and the end-of-course survey will be generated.
There are two types of surveys available: mid-course survey and (automatic) end-of-course survey. You can customize the timing, settings, and questions of your surveys with certain conditions, see more details below.
You can modify the feedback surveys already 31 days before the course starts. Two weeks before the start of the course, you will receive a reminder to plan the feedback practices for your course. The message is sent to all teachers marked in Sisu.
By planning the surveys in advance you have time to communicate when the surveys are open and the importance of feedback to students during the course.
You can add and schedule mid-course surveys even with time accuracy between the start and end dates of the course. You can share the link with students in a context appropriate to the survey, for example in the context of an assignment.
You can modify the end-of-course survey until it opens for students to answer: you can add questions to the end-of-course survey, extend the open time of the survey and change the setting for the automatic publication of multiple-choice results.
Once a survey is activated (open for students), you can modify only the closing date of the survey.
Once the survey is closed, you can not extend the open time.
Three weeks before the course ends (i.e. two weeks before end-of-course survey opens) the teacher will receive an email and MyCourses notification about the survey. Now it is final chance to edit the survey. Once the survey opens, no further edits can be made.
The end-of-course survey opens (activates) for students a week before the end of the course, unless you have changed the opening time. You can reserve time to collect feedback during the lessons. Students will receive an e-mail and MyCourses notification when the survey opens. Students can also see a summary of their unanswered and answered feedback surveys in the MyCourses course feedback view.
On the day the course ends, the system automatically sends a reminder email about giving feedback to those students who have not yet given feedback. In addition to this automatic message, you can send additional reminders if you wish, which the course feedback tool sends to those who have not yet responded.
The end-of-course feedback survey closes. The feedback survey cannot be re-opened, i.e. the need to keep the form open must be decided before the survey closes. More effective ways to increase the number of responses than extending the open time of the feedback survey are to reserve time for students to give feedback, for example at the beginning of the last teaching session, reward giving feedback with course points and emphasize the importance of feedback.
You can publish the quantitative results of the feedback and respond to the feedback in the feedback tool for four weeks after the closing of the end-of-course feedback survey. Try to prioritise responding to the feedback as soon as possible, when both you and the students still have the course fresh in your minds. If you don't have time to give feedback before the time limit expires, you can publish your response to the feedback using other channels.
The course feedback tool sends one automatic notification to the teacher and two different kind of notifications to the student: a message about answering the end-of-course survey, and a message about a report of the survey. The contents of the messages are trilingual. The recipient will receive messages in both email and MyCourses notifications unless they adjust the notification settings.
