Template TRACE Directions

Please read to your classes, after customizing point 1 and 6.

1. [The point to be customized by individual faculty] Just as I have provided all of you with feedback throughout the course, I am now requesting your feedback for me. It’s time for the TRACE student evaluations of teaching and I’m asking all of you to fill out the online survey. This means a lot to me as your professor because… I would really like to gauge all of your thoughts about this course and about my effectiveness as an instructor. I will use the information to improve my course the next time I teach it.

2. Your assessments through TRACE are completely anonymous.

3. Your assessments and comments will be available to the NU student community to assist future course selections.

4. Your assessments and comments are important data in evaluations of faculty performance.

5. Given the public nature of the comments and their intended use to enhance teaching, please be thoughtful and appropriate in crafting your input.

6. The TRACE evaluation period begins on [insert date]. You can complete your assessments through the last day of finals.

7. You access TRACE through your MyNEU portal. Please evaluate my course and all your other courses. For your convenience, you can save your work on the evaluations and you can submit course evaluations separately. However, you cannot change an evaluation once it is submitted. If your courses are not listed correctly, please email TRACE@neu.edu.
