>From the Center for Teaching & Learning: The Center for Teaching & Learning asks all faculty members to please encourage your students to submit course evaluations at http://www.qc.cuny.edu/evaluate. The login information is the CAMS account (looks like jsmith100 for students and jsmith for staff). If anyone has forgotten their information, it can be retrieved at https://cams.qc.cuny.edu. The deadline for submitting evaluations is May 18, 2021. Course evaluations are an essential aspect of our assessment activities. The most effective way to increase response rates is for instructors to actively encourage students to submit course evaluations. There are several ways to encourage your students to do this: • Ask your students to evaluate during class. • Post the link on a Blackboard course or Google Classroom announcement. • Add this slide to the end of a lecture: https://t.ly/zyN3. You can track your course evaluations completion rate and view the evaluations when they are released at http://www.qc.cuny.edu/evaluate. Use your Queens College ID (it’s the same as your CAMS account) and password to log in to the site. If you or your students have any technical issues logging in, please contact the Help Desk at support(a)qc.cuny.edu. If you have teaching/learning-related questions, please email evaluate(a)qc.cuny.edu. For more information, go to http://ctl.qc.cuny.edu/s21evals.
