CoursEval. CoursEval is a Web-based system for evaluating courses, faculty, and students at the UCSF School of Dentistry.
Each faculty member and each student has a unique User ID and a Password allowing them to log on and participate in surveys, and everyone is strongly encouraged to do so. CoursEval feedback is a significant factor in shaping curriculum, and in the understanding of faculty and student performance.

| Providing Feedback. The quality of your feedback is critical to objectively evaluating curriculum, instruction, and course work. In completing surveys you are expected to provide thorough and thoughtful responses to all questions asked, and this is particularly important with regard to your typed comments.
Please observe the following guidelines when providing feedback:
- Be clear. Write clearly, and read back what you've written to confirm that it makes sense. Use professional language.
- Be thoughtful and thorough. Provide just as much information as is necessary to be understood, and give brief examples if they meaningfully add to your case. Answer all questions asked and complete all surveys, keeping in mind that providing thoughtful feedback communicates something even more important about courses and instructors you didn't like than it does about those that you did like.
- Be concise. Make your point in as few words as possible. Concision makes for powerful, persuasive writing.
- Be respectful. A professional is one who responds with an attitude of sober professionalism and maturity regardless of how she or he is treated. Report your observations candidly, but refrain from the use of colloquial language (slang), personal attack and profanity, which undermine the credibility of your comments.
