Faculty/Course Evaluations

Testing and Evaluation Services provides central support, including online administration of faculty/course evaluations, survey form design, survey reminders via email invitations, and summary report access. There is no direct cost to the school. Faculty may view their end-of-semester reports via ce.miami.edu. Faculty/course evaluation results will be available at the end of each term when final grades are released to students in CaneLink. Custom report features are available to designated administrators in the colleges and schools. Students can complete surveys at their convenience online or via their smart phones or mobile devices without any special set-up. Survey responses are anonymous. Student names or e-mail addresses cannot be connected to any survey data. No survey results are released to faculty until after final grades are posted.

Now Available

Faculty/course evaluation scores from recent terms can now be viewed through a dedicated dashboard. This dashboard allows students to explore faculty and course evaluation scores of universal survey questions from recent academic terms. Use the filters to search by keyword, professor, course, term, or overall score.

All responses are anonymous, and results are available only after final grades are posted.
