3. It is recommended that you allow 15 minutes for students to complete the form.
4. Remind students that if they do not complete the evaluation in class they may complete it online up until midnight of the day after the official course end date.

Strategies for increasing engagement and response rate for online courses

1. For Synchronous classes, take 5 to 10 minutes of your lecture time to inform听students about the importance of completing SLEQs. Let students know that the survey is confidential and will not affect final grades. The results are only reported after the final grade submission date for the term.
2. For Asynchronous classes, let students know that the forms will become available by posting an announcement in Brightspace.

5 Tips for helping increase response rates

1. Close the loop

Talk to your students about the SLEQs, what they mean to you and to your career. Give specific examples. Highlight changes you made to the course(s) you are teaching/have taught based on previous evaluation results. This allows the students to understand that their feedback is taken seriously.

2. Engagement

Keep the students engaged in the process by talking to them about it throughout the year. Encourage them to read the "鈥� [PDF - 131 kB]听which we link in the invitation email we send to the students. The document and a related video are also available on the SLEQ website. Provide feedback is a skill that needs to be learned.

3. Provide class time

It is recommended that instructors provide time in class for students to fill out the SLEQ forms. Details on best practices/suggested procedures are available on the Resources page on the SLEQ website.

4. Monitor your response rates

Monitor your response rate during the evaluation period. Encourage your students to provide feedback.

As an instructor, you will receive an email with a link for monitor response rate.

5. Incentives

Some instructors or programs will offer incentives for students to complete the SLEQ forms. For example, we know some 鲍鱼tv faculty offer an extra point on the students grades if a specific response rate is reached. Some departments offer cookies or pizza to thank students for participating in the SLEQ process.听
