Please let your students know of the surveys, and give them the information above. Direct requests from their instructors in the  most critical factor in getting students to participate in the survey. We have additional suggestions for increasing student participation on our web site. Students will also get email with a link to the surveys, but we cannot be certain that we have the most current email addresses for all students. 

Instructors who are using paper surveys should have received an envelope of forms. If you have not received either an envelope of forms or an email notifying you of your online survey, please contact us at 932-732-7466 as soon as possible.

We can make changes to the way your name and the course title appear on the survey form, and we can change the dates when the survey runs although the survey should end before the students know their final grades or take the final exam.

For requests for changes that we receive after the deadline, we will make an attempt to implement the changes but there are limits to what can and cannot be changed after the surveys are running.

Please see "Online Student Instructional Rating Surveys" for more information.

If your department is still using paper surveys, the envelopes with paper forms should have arrived through campus mail last week. Please check with your department to get your packet of survey forms. If you need additional survey forms, please contact our office. Also please read about the important changes to the paper survey.

Most departments are now using the online survey system. All faculty and instructors in these departments should have received an email message from info@brokenmail.rutgers.edu please replace brokenmail with ctaar.rutgers.edu with information about the survey. If you require any changes to the survey dates, the spelling of the course title or your name, or additional surveys for other sections, please reply to the email.

If you have not received an email or a survey packet, write to our office at info@brokenmail.rutgers.edu please replace brokenmail with ctaar.rutgers.edu before November 19. 

Online surveys can run on dates you specify. For most courses where no preference is given, the surveys will run from November 29th through December 13th. Additional information is available on our SIRS information page.
