Automated Course Evaluation (ACE) Frequently Asked Questions
1. How does ACE work?
When the evaluation period opens, emails will notify students that links for each of their courses have been added to their Canvas account. Reminder e-mails will be sent to the student until every evaluation is completed or the evaluation window has closed.
After final grades have been submitted for the term, faculty gain access to cumulative course evaluation results through their Canvas accounts.
2. What is the evaluation period using ACE?
