Student feedback tool

The student feedback tool is designed to improve the process of gathering feedback from students on lectures, practicals and group teaching. It has been warmly recommended by those departments who have previously used it (under the name CamTOES), and CARET has now made it available to the rest of the University.

The online tool can be used to create questionnaires for students to fill in. These questionnaires can be based, for instance, on a standard departmental questionnaire or varied as appropriate for a particular course. A list of the students who are required to fill in the questionnaire is created, and each student will automatically receive an email to ask them to fill in the feedback form. All the students' responses are anonymous, but the system knows who hasn't responded and can prompt them with a second email. The system will then automatically collate the responses into a easy-to-read report, which can then be circulated as appropriate. Any inappropriate responses to questions can be deleted from the system by administrators.
