EGLS3 -- Evaluation for Greater Learning
Student Survey System
At Houston Community College, professors believe that
thoughtful student feedback is necessary to improve teaching
and learning. During a designated time near the end of the
term, you will be asked to answer a short online survey of
research-based questions related to instruction. The
anonymous results of the survey will be made available
to your professors and department chairs for continual
improvement of instruction. Look for the survey as part
of the Houston Community College Student System
online near the end of the term.
