Teaching Evaluations The entire process, however, can now be completed on-line. This includes the filling out of the forms by your students. (Students' on-line responses are completely anonymous; you will know how many students have responded but not which ones.) This process can be initiated at https://fusion.sas.upenn.edu/feedback/. The online versions of the questionnaires include the same questions found on the paper forms. But the on-line version allows you to quickly customize the questionnaire by replacing or adding as many questions as you would like. Once you have chosen one of the standard surveys (or designed your own version) and indicated an activation date, the on-line program automatically contacts your students via email and instructs them on how and when to fill out the questionnaire. Then the program calculates quantitative responses and collects qualitative ones for your review. Your StudentsCourses InTouch A great deal of information on your students can be obtained from Courses InTouch, including: class lists; enrollment numbers; the name of a student's advisor; and pictures of your students. In addition, you can use Courses InTouch to construct an email list for your class or review your teaching history and evaluations.
