A TLC Toolbox [Online] Student Evaluation Preview For Canvas has been made available for you by the Teaching & Learning Advisory Committee to download and import into any Canvas Course using the steps below. You may tweak this one or create your own student evaluation to allow students to provide pertinent feedback about your course.

Student Evaluations are now available to import into your course(s) from global navigation menu on the left via the Commons tool. Select the evaluation tool you want, click the blue Import/Download button. Search/select the course you want to import into.

If you are doing the student evaluation outside of Canvas for an online course, for the purpose of providing evidence that it was completed if we were to be audited by SARA, you must provide a screenshot which only includes details that identifies which course it was completed for and the number of students who completed it, to the TLC (send to tlc@bhc.edu or Q1-212). Example:

Request Student Evaluation

Email your course CRN to tlc@bhc.edu and ask them to associate your course in Canvas with the Student Evaluation Blue Print Course.
