Administrator Access

Reports can be obtained through Watermark. To gain access to survey results, follow the instructions provided below:

For Administrators

Is any course exempt from survey?
Not every course will get surveyed. Per contract, tenured faculty may choose to opt out of course surveys for the fall and/or spring terms. Please note that this does not apply to courses in an online program (ONP) and courses taught during the summer. Likewise, to preserve anonymity, we do not survey courses where only one student is enrolled. 

You may contact course-survey@montclair.edu to verify which of your courses will be surveyed. 

When will I get my survey results?
Survey results are available after the semester is over and final grades have been posted. This tends to be one to two weeks after the survey period ends. You will receive an email from course-survey@montclair.edu when your results are ready to download. 

Where can I download my survey results?

Our walkthrough with screenshots provides detailed instructions on how to get your results from Watermark Course Evaluations and Surveys (CES, formerly EvaluationKIT). In general: 

1. Navigate to Canvas: https://montclair.instructure.com/
2. Click the “Account” icon on the top left of your screen
3. Click the “Course Evaluations” link (formerly “EvaluationKIT User”) within your “Account” panel
4. Confirm that you are viewing your “Administrator” page on the top right of your screen. If you see the words “Student” or “Instructor”, switch to your “Administrator” page using the drop-down menu.
5. Click the “[ProjectName]” link inside the Project Results section of your landing page
   1. Select “By Course Section” to sort results by course
   2. Select “By Instructor” to sort results by instructor
6. Clicking “View” after each course will allow you to download a report for that course specifically. You will have the option to download a:
   1. “Detailed Report”: closed-ended response summaries displayed as bar charts
   2. “Detailed Report + Comments”: closed-ended bar charts and the comments received on open-ended questions
   3. “Short Report”: closed-ended responses displayed in a contingency table
   4. “Short Report + Comments”: closed-ended contingency tables and the comments received on open-ended questions
   5. “Raw Data”: de-identified survey results exported to Excel.
7. Selecting multiple courses and clicking “Batch Report” will allow you to download results for multiple courses at a time. Batch reports take some time to compile, so you will receive an email from CES when your batch report is ready to download. 

I work across multiple colleges/departments and/or with courses with various end dates. How do I know which courses are in which projects?
Courses are grouped into projects based on term, college/department, and course end date. For example, survey results from a Fall 2023 History course that ends on 12/17/2023 will be in the “202340 HIST Ending 12/17/23” project. Please note that, unless specifically requested, we do not survey courses with non-traditional terms or summer courses. 

How long will results be available in CES?
Survey results are available for at least 5 years.
