The current survey is administered online and includes 12 closed-ended questions and 3 open-ended questions. Deans, department heads, and instructors may add a limited number of their own questions to these 15 common-core questions.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Each semester students\u2019 responses are compiled into a ClassEval report for every instructor and class. Instructors use the evaluations to improve instruction and include them in their promotion and tenure dossiers, while department heads use them in annual reviews. The reports are included in instructors\u2019 personnel files and are considered confidential.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Online class evaluations will be available for students to complete during the last two weeks of the semester for full semester courses and the last week of shorter sessions. Students will receive an email directing them to a website to complete class evaluations. These become unavailable at 8am on the first day of finals.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Contact ClassEval Help Desk: <\/span><a href=\"mailto:classeval@ncsu.edu\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">classeval@ncsu.edu<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/go.ncsu.edu\/cesurvey\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">ClassEval website<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><a style=\"background-color: #ffffff\" href=\"http:\/\/oirp.ncsu.edu\/surveys\/classeval\">More information about ClassEval<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-css-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"modification\">Syllabus Modification Statement<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Our syllabus represents a flexible agreement.
