What do you like best about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

I really like the ability of the Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys to obtain honest feedback from my students which helps me to frequently make my courses better. I particularly like its graphical representation that shows my evaluation for a section in comparison to other instructors in my department. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

I would like to see a brief footnote that explains the two bar charts shown per question.

I got to know about how best to interpret the bar chart when I attended and spoke with a watermark agent at the Watermark Conference in Minneapolis but I think the footnote would be beneficial to all users.

Also, I would suggest a webpage on the Watermark website that explains a sample report of the Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys tool Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys is indeed helping solve issues with collating all student responses in a friendly and always available space.

It benefits the college with detailed questions using the lycart scale measurement sent to all students in each course they are scheduled in, upon the last few days of the course.

What do you like best about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

I truly appreciate the functionality of the software. It is easy to use once you understand the foundation of it. The Watermark CE&S product experts are incredibly helpful. I use this software multiple times a semester, as I work at a community college, and it is preferable compared to previous setups our College has had. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

Watermark CE&S functionality is limited when it comes to more specific use cases. I've had to misuse some settings and functionality in order to get an outcome I need when it comes to specific surveys for accreditation purposes or indivudal use cases for the College. I've put in IDEA tickets and I believe my suggestions are taken into account. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

It allows me to deploy and manage multiple assessments over long periods of time. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
