Once you complete all your evaluations you will receive no further reminders. The first reminder is sent approximately one week into the 2-week evaluation period and a final one is sent during the last few days of the period. The intent is not to spam your email in-boxes, but rather to make sure you have ample opportunity to evaluate your courses. We do see a bump in response rates after each reminder goes out.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-4 kt-pane10718_599a8d-3e\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">How can I access my evaluations if I can&#8217;t find the email that was sent to me? <\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1\"]{font-style:normal;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,\"Helvetica Neue\",sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\";}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_08ed44-d1\">There are two ways you can do this.

The first report contains results compiled for all the scale-type questions you answered (i.e. the ones where you had to make a selection). These results are presented as class means, standard deviations and medians, as well as a frequency breakdown for each option on each question (so they know how many students rated them at each level). The scale-type question results are not presented in a way where individual student responses can be identified. The first report also contains all the comments that were signed, along with the name of the student. The second report contains de-identified results from any unsigned comments as well as the results of any personalized questions that the faculty added (they are given the option of adding up to 10 additional questions of their choosing).&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-kadence-pane kt-accordion-pane kt-accordion-pane-7 kt-pane10718_ee493d-6f\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-header-wrap\"><button class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-header kt-acccordion-button-label-show\" type=\"button\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title-wrap\"><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-title\">Does anyone else see the results of evaluations?<\/span><\/span><span class=\"kt-blocks-accordion-icon-trigger\"><\/span><\/button><\/div><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel kt-accordion-panel-hidden\"><div class=\"kt-accordion-panel-inner\"><style>.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91\"]{font-size:18px;font-style:normal;font-family:-apple-system,BlinkMacSystemFont,\"Segoe UI\",Roboto,Oxygen-Sans,Ubuntu,Cantarell,\"Helvetica Neue\",sans-serif, \"Apple Color Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Emoji\", \"Segoe UI Symbol\";}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91 mark.kt-highlight, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91\"] mark.kt-highlight{font-style:normal;color:#f76a0c;-webkit-box-decoration-break:clone;box-decoration-break:clone;padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91 img.kb-inline-image, .wp-block-kadence-advancedheading.kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91[data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91\"] img.kb-inline-image{width:150px;vertical-align:baseline;}<\/style>\n<p class=\"kt-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91 wp-block-kadence-advancedheading\" data-kb-block=\"kb-adv-heading10718_05e68a-91\">Yes.
