Course evaluation questions are one way to measure the impact of community-engaged courses on students' learning. Below, we offer both open-ended and closed-ended evaluation questions, which you may consider including in the instructor-added portion of course evaluations. We offer additional tools and resources for assessing student learning here.
We would be glad to work with you to incorporate any of these resources into your community-engaged efforts.
- Contact us at [email protected] or if you have any questions about these resources.
