New users frequently remark that CoursEval™ must have been designed by a Dean because the software seems to know what needs to be done and offers the most efficient—and often the most elegant—way to do it.
The fact is that CoursEval™ was designed by academic administrators who were intent on improving the way his school managed its course evaluation process. Moving the whole process to the internet was only part of the benefit. The real beauty of the system is in the details! This is why faculty, chairs, directors, deans, provosts, presidents—and students—choose CoursEval™.

“CoursEval is replacing a
machine-scanned survey system that had served the
University of
Miami
well for two
decades, but was labor-intensive, rather inflexible, and
required countless reams of paper. We like the fact
that CoursEval integrates with the Blackboard course
management system and our ‘myUM’ student portal.
The online convenience factor improves the quality of
student comments. During our first year (2007-08),
response rates averaged over 58% with no special
incentives. Technical support has been simply
outstanding.”
- David E.Wiles, Ph.D., Executive Director, University
of Miami Testing Center
