Share your Course Experience

We value student perspectives for the improvement of course quality and teaching practices at SFU.

Course Experience Surveys (CES) are administered at the end of every course each semester to provide students the opportunity to relay feedback about their course experience which provides faculty and departments with information on developing high impact learning experiences.

These surveys are administered with the assistance of Managers of Academic & Administrative Services (MAAS) across departments at SFU who set up course survey schedules at the beginning of each term after which instructors are able to review them and add questions to their own course survey to receive tailored feedback from students.
