Evaluation Access Window (Spring 2023)

April 12, 2023

We are writing to share information about student feedback survey distribution for Spring 2023.

When will student feedback surveys open for students?

Student feedback survey access will open on Thursday, April 20 and close on Thursday, May 4 at 11:59 p.m. PDT.

This two-week survey period has been selected to accommodate faculty concerns about students submitting surveys after viewing their grades. Grading period opens May 5, and my.SDSU is programmed to immediately display grades upon submission.

How will instructors and students be notified that surveys are open?

On April 20, students will receive an email message from “SDSU Course Feedback” to their student SDSUid address (eg., [email protected]) prompting them to complete feedback surveys. 

Also on April 20, faculty and graduate student employees in instructional roles will receive a message to their employee SDSUid address from “SDSU Course Feedback” featuring a link to their individual Explorance dashboards.

Dashboards may also be accessed via https://sdsu.bluera.com/sdsu.

Students or faculty who do not receive this notification should contact [email protected].

How can I boost response rates?

Your Explorance dashboard will track response rates. To ensure that all students who wish to respond do so within the two-week time period, you may

  • Log into your Explorance dashboard and use the embedded messaging tools.
  • Use Canvas to communicate with your students.
  • Hold 10 minutes of class time for students to complete the survey.
Thank you again for your extended flexibility and adaptability during our transition to my.SDSU and the Explorance platform.

Sincerely,
