IDEA+Information+&+Resources


 * Understanding Your IDEAS **

The IDEA survey is HCC's course evaluation system. All course evaluations are completed online. Student feedback remains anonymous and the resulting data from each survey is provided to the faculty member in order to support their course reviews and improvements.

The course evaluation period is usually the last three weeks of the semester; the last two weeks of any truncated semesters such as 7 week courses..

Students are notified about the availability of the evaluations via email - which is sent to them at least twice a week for two to three weeks until the student completes each survey available for them to complete.

Workshops in how to interpret the IDEA results are offered several times throughout the year. Faculty may also request one-on-one consultations with members of the Faculty Professional Development team.
