What is SmartEvals?

YES! We understand that students might be concerned with the anonymity of their feedback, but rest assured the responses are completely anonymous to both instructors and administrators. Additionally, classes with less than 3 students are not given the opportunity to be evaluated.

Generally, you will receive 3-5 emails depending on the length of the class you are enrolled. Shorter courses during the summer might only receive 3 email reminders while full 16-weeks courses can receive up to 5. Once you have completed all of your evaluations you will no longer receive email reminders for that semester.

No. While we understand some students might not want to evaluate their courses, we are required by law to give students the opportunity to provide important feedback to their instructors. Please disregard the emails if you prefer not to provide feedback.

This could be due to a number of things including classes with less than 3 students enrolled, 0 credit hour classes (labs), or a technical glitch. Please email gapsmarteval@tarleton.edu with any questions/issues.

This new system provides the ability for students to be automatically emailed with direct links to the SmartEvals system and their courses. Students will no longer go through DuckTrax to evaluate courses.

8, 12, and 16-weeks courses are open for evaluation the 10 days prior to the end of the course. Shorter 3, 4, and 6-weeks courses open for evaluation the 5 days prior to the end of the course.
