Announcement: 

Dear Students,
 
The University is switching from the paper evaluation forms for the courses to an electronic rating process 
conducted online and called Student Instructional Rating Survey (SIRS). Each line below represents a *separate* 
survey, that will be sent to you as it appears below. The following surveys will run from Wednesday, 
November 18 through Thursday, December 10:
 
     01:750:326 - COMPUTER-BASED EXPER,  V PODZOROV - sections: 03
 
     01:750:326 - COMPUTER-BASED EXPER,  V PODZOROV (Lecture) - sections: 01, 02, 03 (combined into one survey) 
 
Links to the surveys will be e-mailed directly to you when the survey begins, as indicated above. 
More information about the SIRS process is available at http://ctaar.rutgers.edu/sirs/onlineSIRS.html
 
 
Your response to these surveys is extremely important both for your Professor or a TA and for the future generation of 
students who might be taking this course. Your feedback will be used to make necessary adjustments to the course and 
the way it’s taught in order to improve the course quality and overall teaching standards at our University. The dates 
indicated above is the only opportunity you will have to access the online system for comments to the University. 
All the comments and survey data are absolutely anonymous. Instructors never see any identifying information.
Expectation is that you will complete the survey at the end of the course. You should be able to use the site 
http://sakai.rutgers.edu where you can log in and click "All Surveys" to find the surveys when they become available. 
Please also check your email for links to the surveys; the e-mail will come from "Rutgers SIRS". 
E-mail reminders will stop arriving when you complete the surveys. Students who do not have a NetID 
(including summer and winter students) may create one by following the instructions at 
http://oit.rutgers.edu/services/account/quick.html

Thank you very much!

Your input is very valuable.
