If you choose not to use EvalKit for your end of course surveys, alternative surveys must comply with Macalester policies on student anonymity, electronic access, and bias prevention. We highly recommend talking with your department chair prior to choosing this option.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n Request ITS help for customizing your survey, opt out of Evalkit, or find key info like ECS deadlines for the semester, and the text of the default ECS questions. Your Evalkit course surveys will continue to work the same way they have in the past (through Moodle).\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<\/p>\n ECS Technology<\/h2>\n
