Description

This article describes the process for users with the Watermark Administrator role to view the results of course evaluations.

Details

If you are a program coordinator or an administrative assistant assigned to coordinate course evaluations, you will be assigned an Administrator role in Watermark. Note: You may have additional roles in the Watermark system such as instructor and/or student. If this is the case, in the top-right corner to the left of your name, you can toggle between your roles.

Access Watermark:
- If you have roles as an Instructor and Administrator, access Watermark by entering one of your previously taught courses and in the left navigation menu select Instructor Course Evaluations. No user name/password is required. Note: This link is not available in courses in progress.
- If you only have the role of Administrator, log into Canvas using the Duo authentication system, click on your account, select Profile and select Course Evaluations (this is the preferred method.) You may also access Watermark via https://isu.evaluationkit.com/. Note: You will not have a unique user name/password for Watermark.
Once you access the Watermark dashboard, you will see a list of the evaluation projects that have ended. To view individual course evaluation results, click on the link for a project.
For the course that you wish to view, click the download button and select a report type.

What is the Response Rate Tracker?

Provides information on the number of respondents out of total enrollments (for all of the courses you are provided access to), and the combined response rate.
To see the response rate for individual courses assigned to you (called Node Response Rate), click on the name of a project.

What Types of Reports Are Available?

Detailed Report: Results of evaluations, including questions and responses, weight, frequency, percent, percent responses, mean, standard deviation and median. PDF Download.

Can I Combine the Results of Multiple Course Sections?

The system only maps to individual course sections but if you would like to combine the results of multiple sections of a course you can create a batch report.

In the Project Results section of the dashboard, click on the link to the project you wish to view.
Select the boxes next to the courses you wish to combine.
At the top of the window, click on Batch Report.
In the window that opens, type a name in the Report Name box, select Aggregate Data for Selected Items into One Report, and click GO.
The report will download as a PDF to your computer.

Note: The batch report does not aggregate the combined median for the sections. If you would like that type of information, you can download the raw data for each section, combine the two Excel files, and set up calculation formulas.

When Can I See Evaluation Results?

You will be able to see the response rate tracker information in real time while the project is in progress.
Evaluation results will be available to administrators and instructors the day after final grades are due. Administrators will receive an email from the system (sender: courseevals@isu.edu) announcing that evaluation results are available.
Evaluation results will continue to be visible after the project has ended.

How Does the System Know What Results I Should Have Access To?

You are given access to specific colleges and courses by the ITRC. If your access is incorrect or incomplete, please contact the ITRC for assistance at itrc@isu.edu.
