Here's a demo video showing how students can submit a course evaluation via Blackboard (no audio). 

When to Submit your Course Evaluation

Your course evaluation survey will show up in your Blackboard course or be sent to your ACC email at the dates listed in the course evaluation calendar (See below). The course evaluation calendar outlines when the course evaluation period starts and ends by type of session. To prevent overwhelming the system with too many evaluations at one time, Faculty Evaluation staff might add 1-2 days adjustments to this calendar.

Important: An email message will automatically be shared with you and your instructor when the course evaluation survey is ready to submit.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

• Why didn't I see any survey in the Blackboard panel after selecting the "Course Evaluation" link in Blackboard? 
  This is likely because the survey is not open yet, please refer to the survey calendar to see if your survey(s) are currently open. If it is during the survey period and you still don't see it, contact FacultyEvaluation@austincc.edu. Our staff will look into it. 
  
  
• Why can't I see the labels (e.g. Never, Rarely, Sometimes...) on some questions?
  This can be caused by many factors, such as settings on your mobile device. We strongly suggest you switch to another device or browser that shows all of the labels. Most of our questions follow the same labels, such as the one listed below. Never shows on the very top, followed by rarely, sometimes, very often, always, and N/A. You can follow the same pattern for the one or two missing labels. 

• What do I do if I miss the survey window?
  To be fair to all ACC faculty and students, we won't be able to extend the surveys as this change will affect all students in your course and will push back the report to your instructor. In the future, please be more mindful of the survey window. You can also share your feedback directly with the instructor or the department chairs. You can find their contact info in the ACC directory. Thank you for your understanding!
  
  
• What do we achieve as students when we participate in course evaluation surveys?
  Student feedback is very important. It helps the instructors develop, modify and improve their courses. The departments may use course evaluation results when they evaluate the teaching effectiveness so that the future has a constant change for the better.
