Constructive feedback from students on course evaluations is taken very seriously at the Mailman School. Your thoughts are of great value to ongoing quality improvements to the particular course being evaluated and our curriculum in general. Course evaluations at the Mailman School are administered online during the final exam period of each semester for full term courses and right after the completion of other courses that finished during the academic semester. Please schedule time during these periods to carefully reflect on your learning experience and carefully consider the questions in the evaluation which address various aspects of the teaching and learning experience in your classes.

We feel strongly that completing all your assigned course evaluations during the allotted time is an expectation of being a student at the Mailman School. As public health professionals you will have the responsibility to evaluate colleagues and health initiatives. We view providing feedback on the Mailman School’s courses as part of your professional responsibility. Individual student responses are anonymous and a summary of course evaluation data is presented to faculty and the department after the submission of final grades. While your responses are anonymous, the system does track who completes course evaluations and will automatically remind you periodically of your responsibility to evaluate a particular course. In addition, the system does generate a list of students who do not fulfill their professional responsibility and complete an evaluation.
