Core Theme Three: Reach | Executive Strategy and Planning | BYU-Idaho

# Core Theme Three: Reach

BYU-Idaho's third core theme is "Serving as many students as possible within resource constraints."

Objective 1 - Enrollments

Meet annual enrollment goals/projections. 
 
Key indicator for Objective 1: 
- Number of students enrolled (annual headcount).

Objective 2 - Degree Progress

Increase the number of degrees awarded each year. 
 
Key indicators for Objective 2: 
- Number of degrees awarded. 
- Completion rate. 
- Persistence rate. 
- Retention rate. 
- Number of certificates completed.

Rationale for Selection of Indicators: Most of the Core Theme indicators were selected after a robust discussion in University Council on February 28, 2017. Although there have been some minor changes and modifications to those indicators following regular and ongoing discussions in President's Council and University Council meetings, the overall set of indicators has served us well. All of the key indicators were selected from a larger list of metrics included on the Institutional Dashboard. 
Compare with regional and national peers.

## Key Indicators for Objective 1 - Enrollments

****Source:**** Institutional Data 
****Expectation:**** Meet or exceed annual enrollment goals. 
****Status:****Meeting expectation.

Outcomes and Assessments | BYU-Idaho | Executive Strategy And Planning

# Outcomes and Assessments

Outcome statements describe the knowledge, skills, and attributes that students are expected to develop in a particular course or program of study. Assessments are used to evaluate the achievement of the desired outcomes. Together outcome statements and assessment results define what is meant by academic quality at BYU-Idaho.

End of Course Survey | Executive Strategy And Planning | BYU-Idaho

# End of Course Survey

## Improving the Student Experience Through Targeted Feedback

The End of Course Survey is an official data collection tool that serves multiple purposes and stakeholders. In addition to gathering student feedback on courses and instructors, it is also used to: 

- Measure progress on University goals and initiatives.
- Measure student engagement, success, and well-being.
- Give students the opportunity to share their perspective on their courses, campus programs, University services, and the school environment.
- Inform quality assurance efforts and accreditation requirements.

Please encourage your students to participate in the End of Course Survey. Some faculty do this by offering extra credit to students who complete it. If you would like to offer extra credit, please add the End of Course Survey to your course by following the instructions in the video below.

End of Course Survey Faculty Instructions

When the survey is added to your course as an assignment, extra credit is awarded in the gradebook automatically, as soon as students complete the survey in your section. To receive the points, students must access the survey via the link in the course.

If a student has not finished the survey for your course, clicking the link will let them evaluate your course and will tell Canvas that they have completed it.

If they have finished the survey for your course, clicking the link will tell Canvas that they have finished your survey and will not make the student take it again.

BYU-Idaho is student-focused by design, and all students are encouraged to participate in the End of Course Survey. If you have questions about the survey, visit the Student FAQ page, the Faculty FAQ page, or contact measurement@byui.edu.

## What Students Need to Know About End of Course Surveys

Have questions about End of Course Surveys? Find answers here about how they work, why they matter, and how your feedback helps improve the BYU-Idaho experience.

Students can find their evaluations here.

There are two common reasons why that may be happening: 

1. The evaluation isn't open yet. If this is the case, you will see a message stating that course evaluations are closed. 
 ****Solution:**** Try again when course evaluations are open.
2. There has been an error with the sign-in process. If this is the case, you will see one of many different error messages or will simply get a blank page when you click the link. 
 ****Solution:**** Clear your cookies/cache or open the link in a new browser. If that doesn't work, contact measurement@byui.edu

No. The link will take you to the evaluation system where you will get a chance to evaluate all of your classes, not just the class the teacher emailed you about.

For full semester and second block classes, evaluations open two Saturdays before the last day of the semester and close at midnight on the last testing day. 
 
For first block and Summer Session courses, evaluations open the Saturday before the last day of class and are open for one week.

Evaluations are an anonymous way for you to let your instructor know what went well and what you feel could be improved. An instructor may use your feedback to improve their course and teaching approach. University leaders use the data to discover areas of potential concern and to identify courses that appear to be particularly effective.

We average the responses from all students for each question and provide those data to your instructor. We also provide instructors the open-ended comments. Your instructor will not be able to tell which responses you provide. In addition, we also make aggregated data visible to university administrators, leadership, and outside groups who need those data, such as university accreditors. Again, those viewing the data will not be able to tell how you, as an individual, responded.

No. Your instructor will know if you have submitted an evaluation, but he or she will not be able to connect your identity to your actual responses. We do not provide instructors results in sections with less than five enrollments in order to protect student identity. 
 
Your response will be confidential, as described on the Protection of Research Data page.

No. Your instructors will not know which rating came from you. Also, we do not provide your instructor with results until after he or she has submitted final grades.
