Student Assessment of Courses and Faculty

Course evaluations provide students with an opportunity to express their views about their classes and how they have been taught. Our students responses provide valuable feedback to professors and administrators on both the content of the courses and performance of the instructor. Course evaluations at Palm Beach State are completed through Watermark Course Evaluations and Surveys, which integrates with Canvas to provide students with a near-seamless course evaluation experience. Even if the class does not use Canvas, students get email notices and reminders with direct links to their surveys.

Below are some additional resources designed to help students, faculty and administrators navigate both Watermark CES and the legacy Student Assessment of Courses and Faculty:
