Tactics to Increase Course Evaluation Response Rates: A Comparison of Effectiveness
Jacek, Laura
College and University, v90 n2 p12-19 2015
When an institution decides to move to online teaching evaluations, they often face concerns that their response rates will fall with the change. This fear need never come to pass, however. There are many interventions that can raise response rates. Good communication strategies, improved student and faculty engagement, and grade hold are just a few ideas that can help assure that response rates increase, or remain high. While there are many variables that will influence how a given type of institution or student body will respond to an intervention, instituting one or more interventions will positively affect response rates. The degree to which rates may be effected is discussed.
