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

EvaluationKit's best feature is it's integration with our existing learning management system (LMS) Canvas. This allows me to import all the necessary data and set controlled access for students, instructors, and administrators. I can also coordinate a very detailed communication plan that runs automatically. Ultimately, this change has saved me at least 60 man hours per year, possibly more, over our previous workflow of printing, mailing, scanning, and analyzing paper course evaluations in all of our courses. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

The only dislike I would say is that the system is so powerful and adaptable (used by tiny community colleges all the way up to giant national universities) that it can be a bit overwhelming to new administrators. However, I'd add a caveat that this only applies to administrators. End users have a very simple and intuitive experience. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys solving and how is that benefiting you?

EvaluationKIT helped us from paper forms to online evaluations over four years ago. We have had a very positive experience with the EvaluationKIT system and support services, and our response rates have actually increased versus paper. In most semesters, we can achieve a response rate of over 65%, which is miles beyond the industry average. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The product works effectively and as designed and virtually every time we found an issue or a need the support we received was top notch. The interface is easy to work with and aesthetically pleasing and the integration with our LMS is very tight and customizable. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

There is very little to dislike about this product. The main problem we've had that couldn't be resolved without a workaround was the need to create a customized role in our LMS so that the evaluations weren't sent to other instructors in the course who were merely there to assist but should not have been evaluated. The issues that arose from this are more a problem with our LMS than EvalKit. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys solving and how is that benefiting you?

We had a need for online evaluations for our instructors via our LMS but at the time there was no solution built into the LMS. We went with EvaluationKit as it integrated with our LMS and since adoption we've had a very high response rate due to the reminder and notification system that EvaluationKit deploys.

Occasionally a feature change breaks something that is working. They are great about repair, but a little more testing might solve this. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

We evaluate University courses. Being able to have online evaluations with automatic reminders sent to the students makes for a good response rate with less effort than our last solution. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

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

The system is flexible to support university-wide evaluations, or many different evaluation forms based on course affiliation. Also supports a variety of administrators, which is great for security and setup. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys?

There have been a few bugs introduced with the last enhancement releases, these should have been caught before the upgrades were released. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Watermark Course Evaluations & Surveys solving and how is that benefiting you?

Electronic course evaluations vastly reduce the man-hours spend on evaluations vs paper. The integration with Canvas makes course setup very easy and doesn't require any additional integration with an SIS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
