Instructions for Completing Online End of Term

Evaluations Outside of Class


Our class will be completing the end-of-semester course evaluation online using Blackboard.

In order to log into Blackboard, you must know your username. If you are unsure of your network username or password, see the section “Unsure of Nework and/or Blackboard Username or Password” below. Your instructor will not be able to reset your password.

Using your web browser, go to the following URL:

http://bb.gvsu.edu/

In order to complete the evaluation, you must log into Blackboard then click on the link for your course or lab’s evaluation. The logging in process is a security measure so that only students enrolled in the course are permitted to complete the course evaluation. Please be assured that your responses and comments will remain completely anonymous. YOUR PROFESSOR WILL NOT KNOW HOW YOU RESPONDED.

Once you are logged into Blackboard, you will see a box titled “My Courses.” Click on the link for your course or lab’s END OF TERM EVALUATION. Next, you’ll see an Announcements page that contains a link called “End of Term Evaluation.” Click on this link. You will be asked if you’re sure you want to complete the evaluation. Click “OK” and the course evaluation form will appear.

NOTE: You are allowed to complete and submit the evaluation once. If, for some reason, you start the evaluation but don’t submit it, you will need to call the person listed in the announcement on the first screen, or the Help Desk (331-2101), to get it reset before you can take the evaluation again.

When you have finished the evaluation, you can send the information by clicking on the “Submit” button. You will be warned if you try to submit an incomplete evaluation.

Once your responses are submitted, you will need to log out of your account. At the top of the screen you’ll see a number of buttons, one of which says “logout”. Click on this button.

Unsure of Network and/or Blackboard Username or Password


The network account and Blackboard account both the same username and password. If you don’t know your username or password, you can find out your username and change your password by going to http://www.student.gvsu.edu/ and clicking on Reset/Change Your Password. You must know your Student ID Number and PIN (initially the birth month and birth date, eg, 0929 for Sept. 29). If you don’t know their PIN, you can reset that by clicking on the link at the top of the Reset/Change Your Password page. If you need additional assistance, contact the Computing and Technology Support Help Desk (331-2101), or visit them in the Manitou Computer Lab.

Exception: If you are a Grand Valley faculty/staff member and have a GroupWise email address and a network account that looks like ‘doej.dept’ then you should use your employee network account and password to log into Blackboard.
