NJIT COURSE EVALUATION for FALL  2013

Your input does make a difference!  It is important that as many students as possible complete the course evaluation. Your feedback is used to help the university evaluate and improve courses and instruction.

The course evaluation site will be active from 9 am Tuesday, November 12th until midnight of Thursday, December 12th. The online course evaluations can be accessed 24/7 from any location via the internet.

The course evaluation consists of only 11 rating questions and 3 open-ended comment questions. It should take less than 3 minutes to complete.

Please visit URL: <https://www.njit.edu/CourseEval>  to complete the online course evaluation form for your course(s).  Use your NJIT UCID and UCID password (same as “Highlander Pipeline”) to login.

PLEASE NOTE: The 11 rating questions refer to PROF. FEDERICI. If you have comments on your RECITATION instructor, please use the open-ended comment questions.
