Course Feedback

The Course Feedback process takes place at the end of each semester. Results provide students with information to help steer their academic choices, while faculty use feedback to improve their teaching practices and curriculum design.

Students

You can complete your course feedback on any web-enabled device through NYU Course Feedback.

Course feedback usually opens two weeks before the end of a course and remains open through the last week of classes and reading days.

Your responses are confidential and your professors will not be able to see your name or user ID in relation to your answers.

Below is a 2 minute video of the student course feedback experience.

How do I access Course Feedback forms?

You can complete Course Feedback forms on a desktop or mobile device by:

Email: when a course feedback period opens for you, you will receive an email with a link
Albert: click on a bold "Eval" icon in your Enrolled Courses grid
NYU Home: search for the "Course Feedback" card

How do I know when Course Feedback forms are available?

You will always receive an email when a course feedback period opens for you. Typically for regular sessions, the course feedback period is the last two weeks of a course. However, the course feedback period may vary for other sessions and courses with special meeting patterns.

Can I return and come back?

As you move between pages (click “Next”), your responses are saved automatically. You can also click the Save button at any point and return.

Note, your responses will not be counted if you do not return during the course feedback period and click the “Submit” button.

Can I edit responses?

Before you submit a course feedback form, you can return during the open period to edit your responses. However, once you have submitted a form and/or the course feedback period has closed, you will be unable to make any changes.

How do I know if my form was submitted?

Once you click Submit, you will get a Thank You message with a prompt to complete other course feedback forms. Also, when you return to your Course Feedback page the status for that form will say Complete.

I have an accessibility and/or disability related need. Where do I go for support?

If you need any accommodations to complete Course Feedback forms due to an accessibility or disability related need, please contact the Moses Center at mosescsa@nyu.edu

Faculty

You can monitor the response rates for your courses in NYU Course Feedback. during the course feedback period.

You will be able to view the results for your course within 24-48 hours after all grades have been submitted in Albert.

Please note:

During the feedback period, response rate information is updated in real time every time the page is opened or refreshed.
Co-taught courses: instructors will see all responses to the University-wide questions, course questions, and recitation/lab questions (if applicable). However, they will only see the responses to the instructor-related questions that apply to them; instructors will not see each other’s instructor- related questions information.
Labs and Recitations: the primary instructor for the lecture will see the associated lab/recitation's TA/Section leader(s) results as well. The TA/Section leader(s) will see only the results of their instructor-related questions.
