Gathering Student Feedback

The Kaneb Center for Teaching Excellence is happy to work with you to administer early semester feedback or other student surveys using Qualtrics. We will work with you to develop an appropriate survey for your needs, conduct the survey using a personalized email invitation (with one reminder) to your students, and generate a report containing aggregated data of student responses. Ideally, early feedback surveys will be administered between the fourth and sixth week in the semester to enable you to implement adjustments that make the greatest possible difference for your current students. 

To arrange a survey, send the following items to kaneb@nd.edu at least two business days (one week preferred) before you would like the survey to open.

  • The name of your course.
  • A list of questions that we will review and send back with suggestions, if any.
  • An Excel file of your class roster (downloadable from Online Photo by clicking the Excel icon on the upper right while viewing your class).
  • A distribution date and time.
  • The number of days you would like the survey to remain open. We recommend three to five days with the reminder sent one day before the survey closes.
