Course Evaluation Questionnaires

Taught courses at Sussex use a Course evaluation Questionnaire that contains a core set of quantitative questions plus space for School-level and course-level questions. It is administered online via Sussex Direct.

CEQ updates: Spring Term 2011

A restructured CEQ has been developed that:

• contains seven university-level questions (the ‘core set’, all on a 1-5 scale, strongly disagree – strongly agree);
• can contain up to ten additional questions set by the School; these questions can be set exclusively at School-level, set exclusively at course-level or a mixture of both (e.g. five School-level and five course-level questions); These questions can be on either a 1-5 scale or seek text-based responses from students.
