Dear students,
Thank you for your responses to the Unit Evaluation Project which occurs throughout the year. Each semester or at the conclusion of your unit, you will receive a link on your ARK dashboard to the survey that forms the project. These surveys form ongoing data-driven decision-making to improve the student experience of units and learning at the University.
