Dear Students,
Thank you again for your responses to the Unit Evaluation Project throughout 2021. Each semester or at the conclusion of your unit, you 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. Many of the scores you gave maintained steady confidence of the learning experiences at the University. The University is also committed to responding to all your feedback through our teaching and services. Thank you, students!
