Course Evaluations

  • All instructors are responsible for having students complete course evaluations at the end of each semester that the course is taught.
  • The online evaluation system, CampusLabs, is accessed with a BU username & Kerberos password.
  • All evaluations are anonymous.

Guidelines

  • Return all graded work to students before asking them to fill out the evaluation forms. This does not apply to end-of-term work like final papers or examinations.
  • Remind students to bring a smart device (phone, tablet, etc.) or laptop to the last class in order to administer the evaluation.
  • Instructors can not be physically present in the room when students are completing their course evaluations.

Remote Instructions

Faculty: Provide the students with this link to go to their course evaluations:

bu.campuslabs.com/courseeval

announce the window of availability for completing and submitting them. Due to the nature of Learn from Anywhere, you may set aside time (around 10-15 minutes) for students to fill them out during class, or allow them to complete it within the window of availability.

For the Fall 2021 semester, they are available from November 29  to December 10 and will close at 11:59 pm.

In-Class Instructions

Faculty: Prior to the day of your course evaluation, remind students to bring a portable smart device (phone, tablet, laptop…) with them to the class meeting.

On the day of your course evaluation, please inform students that it is time to set aside a portion of the class meeting to complete a survey that measures their perceptions of the course and the instruction in the learning process.

  • Be sure to leave at least 10-15 minutes at the beginning or middle of the class meeting to allow students to complete the evaluation.
