Course Feedback Resources

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 

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.

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.

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.

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.

Responses are anonymous and confidential. Instructors will not be able to see your name, NetID, or any other personally identifying information in relation to your answers.

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
