SOS Faculty Experience

Course Evaluations Available

Student Opinion Surveys are available two weeks before a 14-week term ends and one week before a 7-week term or shorter term ends based on the last day of courses as listed in Titan Web (PeopleSoft.) When the survey period begins, students receive an email from sos@uwosh.edu containing instructions on how to access their individualized portal and complete the Student Opinion Survey. The portal will contain a list of their courses and available surveys. Students will receive two reminder emails before survey expiration. All surveys expire at 11:59 p.m. on the last day of the term as listed in Titan Web (PeopleSoft.)

Notes:

• Instructors are notified through email prior to the students receiving the SOS invitation.
• Faculty & Instructors will be able to check the return rate in their classes & create/adapt their own messaging to their students as needed, but the Instruction and Course Response page is closed to prevent skewed data during this heavy response time.
• The above timeline is adjusted for courses that do not end on the traditional UW Oshkosh end dates. (Accelerated Nursing)
