About the Course Evaluation Survey
Read about why we include an evaluation survey in each of our courses and why it is useful for you to complete it.
What is the Course Evaluation Survey?
Each Saylor Academy course contains a section and link to an optional evaluation survey. These surveys are made up of 13 questions, asking you to provide feedback and suggestions on the course itself, why you were taking the course, how you think you did, etc.
Who Should Complete the Survey and Why?
We encourage anyone who has spent any time in any course to complete that course's survey. Whether you have accessed every resource in the course or you have just come to study one unit or a few units of materials, your feedback will help us to focus our efforts to continually improve our course design, content, technology, and general ease-of-use. Additionally, your input will be considered alongside our consulting professors' evaluation of the course during its next round of peer review.
Where Can you Find the Survey?
Course evaluation surveys can be found as their own section of a course, immediately before the course's final exam section. We ask learners to fill out the survey prior to attempting the exam, because one of the questions does specifically ask you to judge how well you think you have mastered the course material. This piece of self-evaluation, when compared against actual scores on the final exam, can be useful in evaluating whether we have created an exam that fairly assesses the given course materials.
For this course, the survey can be found as the next course activity.
