Student Feedback

Your feedback will help the college improve the learning experience in the classroom. Evaluations allow your instructors to understand their strengths and weaknesses and enhance their teaching and courses accordingly.

The course evaluation is administered in an online format. It is divided into four sections which cover the course, instructor for that course, lab (if applicable) and external placement (e.g., practicum, if applicable). Questions include agree rating scale statements and the total number of questions to answer will depend on the program you are taking (i.e. lab versus no lab).

The course evaluation questionnaires are in the same format for all programs, with the exception of Industrial Trades. Industrial Trades students will be provided with a program-based questionnaire instead of a course-based questionnaire. Evaluations will still be in the same format, but they will be evaluating the program as a whole instead of each course due to the high number of courses taken each term.

The course evaluation questionnaire will be sent to your College email address. When opening the email, a link will be enclosed which will bring you directly to the questionnaire. Once the questionnaire is open, each course you are taking (or program for Industrial Trades) will be available to click on. Every course, and instructor pertaining to that course, will be available for evaluation. You can complete evaluations for all courses at once or can save and continue at a later time. If students are unable to find their invitation email, they can also login directly to their survey dashboard using their CNA login credentials.

Yes, as long as you have access to a wireless network.

During Fall, the evaluations will be open the last two weeks in November, and during Winter, the last two weeks in March. Watch your CNA email for official launch details.

Course evaluations do not affect student grades in any way. Results are not released to anyone (instructors, administrators, etc.) until after final grades are issued.

The questionnaire is being administered in a confidential manner and any personal information collected in this survey will only be known to the Institutional Research (IR) Office and will only be used by the IR Office for analytical purposes. The final reports will not contain, nor refer to, any personal information or personal identifiers.

College Deans and Campus Administrators will see the results for all courses within their respective School/Campus. Individual instructors will see results only for the courses/program they teach.

Data collected from the questionnaire will be used by faculty, Campus Administrators and Deans to foster teaching improvement and by departments for institutional recommendations. Student evaluations provide a useful summary in order to improve teaching, course/program offerings, curriculum, and instructional support.

Response rates do affect the level of confidence in the accuracy of data, especially for classes that have very few students. The more students participating in the evaluation, the more accurate the results will be.

If you have trouble accessing the evaluations, please re-check your invitation email and perhaps try accessing the survey using the embedded link in a new web browser window. Students can also login directly to their survey dashboard using their CNA login credentials If there are still issues with accessing the evaluations, please contact us.
