The Challenge

Faculty evaluation packets took two months to prepare. Staff had to write custom software code to generate the evaluation forms and reports, which were only available on paper. The old system also could not process students' handwritten comments.

What We Did

MSU implemented Class Climate to conduct custom paper-based evaluations for lecture, studio, discussion, and lab classes, as well as web-based surveys for online courses.

In two days, we have all the course evaluation packets assembled and ready to go to the faculty. This process used to take nearly two months... The real savings with Class Climate has been in time.

The results

Class Climate analyzes the raw data and prepares graphical reports that are automatically e-mailed to instructors. Course evaluation packets are now assembled and ready in just two days.
