Tips for better participation in the Course Evaluation Process

  • 1. Set up a threshold so if 90% of the class completes an evaluation, all students get 5 extra credit points. This will need to be manually checked but is not hard to do. The instructor needs to go to this site https://csumb.edu/cat/course-evaluations
  • 2. Create a quiz where students are asked to indicate if they have completed the evaluation on the honor system. If they indicate "yes" they get the 5 points.
  • 3. Provide class time to conduct evaluations.
  • 4. Have students "turn in" their digital receipt for their completed evaluation into an assignment. This would be a screenshot indicating that they have completed the evaluation.
