Why is the evaluation period longer for the online system than for the pencil and paper system?
The online evaluation period extends through exams to maximize the opportunities students have to evaluate courses. One of the dangers of changing from a system in which students are asked to complete evaluations in class to a system that asks students to do so on their own time is that the number of responses may be reduced. The longer the evaluation period lasts, the more ways to encourage students to evaluate their courses.
