Course Feedback Implementation Working Group
Updating UCalgary's core survey questions
In 2018, UCalgary embarked on a process to overhaul the course feedback system. The USRI Working Group developed a recommendation report, which includes 43 recommendations for overhauling the course feedback system, including making updates to the six core questions asked across to all students.
From this work, the Course Feedback Implementation Working Group (CFIWG) was organized in 2022 and has been consulting on new questions to bring to the campus community. The new course survey questions aim to help students make meaningful adjustments to the quality of teaching and learning at UCalgary.
The revised questions will undergo feedback and consultation through the UCalgary community, before proceeding to the General Faculties Council (GFC) for review and approval. Questions would be piloted in 2024 with students before being formally implemented. Other changes to the course surveys include shifting to a new platform, Explorance Blue, over the course of the next year and a half.
