General CES Information 鈥� Need to Know 

• CES is short for Watermarks Course Evaluations & Surveys.  This is the tool we use for course evaluations.
• CES has an Instructor Dashboard for you to view and navigate CES Tasks.  Widgets showcase the Manage Courses, Response Rate Tracker, and Project Results boxes.  CES is located on the main Blackboard page under Tools.
• CES uses Blackboard course information to set up the course evaluations.  Therefore, the roles assigned in Blackboard matter.
• All CES tasks use the course鈥檚 part-of-term, which is the start/end date of the course. 
• Most semester courses are imported into CES.  However, there are some courses that may be excluded per policy.  If you do not want a course evaluated, you will need to opt-out (delete the course).
• Email is the main communication method.  All emails are sent from 麻豆传媒 Evaluations (evaluations@ces.wichita.edu). 
• Emails will provide information, dates, and procedures.  In addition, these messages will inform instructors if any actions need to be taken.
• If you teach courses with different start/end dates, you will receive the same emails but on different dates. 
• Students will receive the course evaluation according to the scheduled date via email and through a notification on Blackboard.
• Results is the only task that has an assigned date.  It is the same date for everyone.  After the results become available at the end of the semester, they remain available for future retrieval.
