The FSU Course Evaluation Module is designed to provide tips and resources that will help instructors engage students in the evaluation process and, ultimately, increase their course evaluation response rates. Students who opt out of course evaluations cite a variety of reasons. As an instructor, you play a critical role in encouraging students to provide their feedback. If you've previously imported the Evaluation Module into a course, you can also check for and import updates with our article called& How to update modules and other resources imported from Canvas Commons.
Instructions for Importing the Module
- Log into Canvas.

Course Evaluation Module into. Then, click the

the Course Evaluation Module into your selected course(s).

Further Resources
From here, you can view the Course Evaluation Module and its content. By default, the module itself and the contents contained within in it are not published so that you have control. We recommend that you publish the Student Page once the student evaluation window opens, and keep all other pages unpublished. It may be helpful to your students to move the Course Evaluation Module to the top of the Modules page and/or create a course Announcement to direct students to it.
