Setting Up Your Course

Student Feedback and Course Evaluations

At the end of your course, you will solicit student feedback using the Instructor and Course Evaluation System (ICES).* Please note that you will need to order the forms a few weeks before the end of the semester.  It is also a good idea to solicit informal early feedback from students.

NOTE: As of March 13, 2020, all sections have been transitioned to ICES Online, an entirely web-based student rating system. (Updated 8/25/2020)
