Yes, though for TAs to be evaluated in AEFIS they must be added via Compass. This can be done by working in collaboration with the department's scheduling representative or other individual with equivalent Compass access. The TA must be listed in the SWASECT Compass screen using the AC_TA-Teaching Assistant role with name, UIN and official university email address. 

Here are a few tips to increase the response rate for your course evaluations:

• For courses being delivered face-to-face or through synchronous online delivery (i.e., Zoom), give students time in class to complete the evaluation.
• Tell students how you have used feedback in the past to improve the course –Showing students their feedback is read and used shows students their feedback is valued.
• Send reminders directly to the class – Reminders from the instructor are much more likely to prompt a response than a blast email from HelioCampus or OIEE that often gets ignored or automatically deleted.
• Monitor response rates and incorporate into messages – Setting a class target for response rates and challenging the class to meet the target can motivate students to respond. 

 Individual responses to student course evaluations shall not be removed from the overall results. 

With regards to the use of incentives (or negative consequences) to motivate students to complete student course evaluations, the Faculty Senate Resolution provided below remains in place until such time as the Faculty Senate so chooses to revisit the existing resolution:

Faculty Senate Resolution FS.27.122: RESOLVED, that the Faculty Senate opposes granting academic credit of any kind to students for completing course evaluations of any kind or instructor evaluations of any kind. 

This would include incentives such as bonus points.

Yes. Instructors can add questions before the survey starts. Here is the walkthrough for adding SCE questions to a Course Section in HelioCampus (formerly AEFIS) as an instructor. 

TEC 51.974 requires student course evaluations of Instructors be available to the public.  Results from student course evaluations can be found on the Public Class Schedule Listing.

1. The course evaluation results can be accessed by first choosing the term. and subject.
2. Once the subject and any other criteria is chosen, clicking on the Title of the course will bring up the details of the course section.
3. A “Course Evaluation” link is listed under the "Section Details".
4. In addition, advisors and students are able to view the evaluations from the course listings on their respective class schedules in Howdy.

Student course evaluation results are available approximately 4-6 weeks after the semester ends. 

For questions related to Mid-Term Evaluation, please refer to the FAQs on this page.

HelioCampus is actively working on incorporating the accurate open/close dates for each course you're teaching. Before they implement these improvements, please refer to this walkthrough to find the SCE open/close dates for your course(s).
