November 16 to December 8 is SFQ Season for 14-week courses!

Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs) invite students to provide anonymous feedback on their learning experience in each course each semester to support our shared commitment to ensuring the quality of our academic programs at Humber. Student feedback is anonymous and confidential.

Please review these important points about the Fall 2024 Student Feedback Questionnaires (SFQs):

  1. Instructors, please schedule 20 minutes of in-class time when students will complete the SFQ. This ensures students are aware of the SFQ, and have time to answer them. Consider stepping out of the class during this time to allow students to have peace of mind when answering their SFQs. Sharing an example of how this feedback has helped improve course content provides an example for students of what to provide feedback on, and shows that their voices are heard.
  2. Instructors must enable the SFQ in Blackboard following this process (Visual instructions for adding your SFQ into Blackboard are available):
  • Select "Books & Tools" (Details & Actions, left course content menu)
  • Click "+" next to "Student Feedback Questionnaire"
  • Once added to the course content, make the SFQ visible for students

Learn more about your SFQ dates and other helpful information for faculty and students.
