The Office of Assessment keeps careful documentation of all requests for data and access privileges.
Opt-out of the Student Accessible Course Evaluation System.
By vote of the Arts & Sciences Council in Fall 2021, the process for instructors to share evaluation results in the Watermark platform functions by default opt-in. Instructors who choose to rescind student access to results must fully complete a submission of the SACES Selection form after reports are made available and before the deadline, which is set the first day of the month in which “shopping carts” open for the following term. Late requests to opt out will not be approved. No new changes will be made to the old SACES reports in Tableau, which have now been archived. Instructors should use the following form to communicate their wish to opt-out of releasing reports to students. [Qualtrics web form here]
Access to the Watermark Course Evaluations and Surveys (CES) and Tableau Departmental Reporting
This form is intended for department and program officers and designated staff who require access to course evaluation set-up and reporting in Watermark and Tableau, as well as other platforms corresponding to their role. Descriptions of the available Tableau dashboards can be found here. [Formstack form here]
