The questionnaire asks students to indicate their level of agreement with a series of question statements using a five-point scale, in which 5 = definitely agree, 4 = mostly agree, 3 = neither agree or disagree, 2 = mostly disagree and 1 = definitely disagree. 

How long will it take to complete the evaluation?

The questions asked should take approximately three to five minutes to complete, depending on how detailed a response you wish to provide.

How do I take part?

You'll receive an email invite, sent to your University email account. 

You can also find the evaluation on your module's Blackboard page by following this path: My modules and courses > select your module > books and tools > student module evaluations.
