UBCE Administrators

UBCE Administrators are responsible for promoting a culture of assessment and reinforcing the value of course evaluation in decanal units. 

There are three unique UBCE administrator roles responsible for managing course evaluations at the unit level.

These coordinators are responsible for promoting a culture of assessment and reinforcing the value of course evaluation in decanal units.

While there will be a university-wide communications effort for the promotion and delivery of course evaluations, each unit should also develop a communications plan.

The coordinators serve as the first line of communication between instructors, staff and students regarding the course evaluation process and are an active part of campus-wide operations. 

Each unit can customize course evaluations by adding up to 10 custom questions tailored specifically to their own programs and initiatives.

Administrators are responsible for organizing these questions and assigning them to courses being evaluated.

Report Administrators have access to course and instructor evaluation reports, tools for comparison, and access to raw data. Report Administrators can view and create a variety of reports at the unit, department and program levels for courses and instructors. They can also export reports in multiple formats, including raw data for additional processing.

For report administrator access, contact your Unit-Level Coordinator.

Department Schedulers are responsible for assuring HUB and evaluation records are properly formed so course evaluations at the unit/department/program level are correct and instructors are evaluated.

Department Schedulers are responsible for:

  • Ensuring that course and instructor data in HUB is up-to-date (correct HUB data facilitates the correct uploading of data into UB Course Evaluations).
  • Properly assign the following settings in HUB:
    • Course evaluation attributes
    • Course start, stop and term end dates
    • Primary and secondary instructor and teaching assistant
    • General Education attributes
  • Resolving data discrepancies with the UBCE Support Team.
