Course Evaluation Results available to McGill Community

Instructions on how to view course evaluation results

The course ratings reported on the site are only one indicator of teaching effectiveness, and these results should be treated with caution since they represent reports only for the particular courses and terms designated.

End-of-course evaluations results, as one indicator of teaching effectiveness, are used to:

  1. Help instructors improve future offerings of courses.
  2. Inform students about courses and instructors.
  3. Written comments are treated as confidential and are not made available to the McGill community.

Numerical results of course evaluations are accessible by McGill students and academic staff for courses where the following two conditions are met: the instructor has granted permission to disseminate the results and  the response rate criteria below have been met:
