SmartEvals Information

SmartEvals is the Faculty Senate approved course evaluation tool used at Southeast.  Note that every class is to have a student evaluation of the class every semester, either by a departmental survey or the broader Faculty Senate approved tool. 
Some caveats regarding this process are as follows:

• Editing periods for the faculty are offered prior to each scheduled student evaluation period to ensure the evaluations are properly prepared for use by the Promotion and Tenure committees, departments, and faculty uses of the data. 
  • Faculty edit requests: please fill out a ticket on https://whd.semo.edu. Choose Canvas/LMS>SmartEvals
    • These requests can be myriad and not limited to merging sections, classes, undergraduate and graduate cross-sections, etc.
    • Please list the CRNs and preferred merge name.
    • Please adhere to departmental merging practices for courses when filling out a ticket
  • Department Chairs: add/change additional departmental questions or question banks
  • Department Chairs: request departmental evaluations for programs or departments (first come, first serve until we are out of templates on SmartEvals)
  • Special requests 
    • Opt-out (fall and summer only)
      • Spring term (Wintersession, full term, first eight week, second eight week, and full year) classes are required to be on the campus tool.
    • Teaching assistant sections, labs, and/or recitations handled separately
    • Duplicates for different professors depending on how the instructors of record want the evaluations to be processed
    • Team-taught duplications or splitting of the evaluations.
• Faculty and Departmental Chairs have access to results two days after grades are reported (usually the Wednesday after the grade reporting due date).
• Students will automatically be emailed when evaluations are open.
