As is the case with student evaluation, setting up ongoing dialogue to discuss learning goals, strategies, and concerns is a healthy, and professional, way for students, faculty, and practice colleagues to proceed in all courses.

It is important for you to note that formalized Course and Teacher Effectiveness Evaluations are a vital component of ongoing course and teaching faculty development in the School of Nursing. Student input regarding the strengths and areas for improvement is reviewed and utilized in making decisions and planning for change. Collecting this input allows the School of Nursing to comply with institutional academic policy, make decisions related to curriculum and course planning, and incorporate student input regarding teaching effectiveness as a core component of teaching faculty promotion and tenure.
Electronic course and teacher effectiveness evaluations are a required element of your course and the School of Nursing invites you to provide your input using the UBC CoursEval Online Evaluation System. All ‘Course’ and ‘Teacher Effectiveness’ evaluations are completed online and all responses are confidential.
How to Complete a Course or Instructor Evaluation:
At the end of each term, you will receive an email prompting you to evaluate each course & the instructors involved.
Access CoursEval through this email, or go to: UBC Health Sciences CoursEval
You will need to use your Campus Wide Login (CWL) to access the system.
If you are having difficulties with CoursEval, you are not connected to the correct clinical instructor, or have any other issue/questions, please email: evaluations@nursing.ubc.ca
