Email & Moodle Messages

There are three different types of template messages that you can edit and email to your students. One to share before the evaluation is to take place, one directly after and then a final message to students. Two options have been created for each type of message.

Template messages:

If you have any questions, or would like any assistance with sending these messages, or with running the evaluations in class, please email evaluations@waikato.ac.nz

Information for students BEFORE the evaluation

Email template 1:

Kia ora koutou,

If you have a web-capable device please bring it to class this/next week as I’m going to allocate time during the lecture on DATE/TIME to complete the end-of-semester paper and teaching evaluation. The evaluations are really important: they’re used for developing papers, and improving teaching at the University. In addition to using the information to improve the paper and my teaching, the data from evaluations is used in academic staff promotion and for teaching awards.

If you have any questions about the process, you can contact the Evaluation Team at evaluations@waikato.ac.nz.

If you would like to complete the evaluation in advance, or are unable to attend class, please go to www.waikato.ac.nz/go/evaluate/ to give feedback.
