At the beginning of each semester, the department representative is asked to go into the Course Instructor Survey system to indicate your preferences for administering your Official Course Instructor Surveys (CIS).
Go here for some basic info on CIS options and administration: CIS Information Webpage
You will have the option to use paper copies or to have your students fill these out for you online (paper vs electronic CIS).
If you choose paper forms, then you can choose from the basic version, the expanded version, and there are other options as well (I recommend that you explore the CIS site if you prefer alternate form types).
If you have your students fill out the CIS online, then that is a great way to reduce our records storage. All courses taught by Assistant Instructors are required to use the electronic CIS administration option.
Once you have had CIS done at least once, you will be able to log in to the MyCIS site with your EID to view your results online. MyCIS shows online summaries for CIS administered on paper, but not the written comments by individual students. For electronic submissions you can view the summaries and the comments from MyCIS. The main office is required to hold the paper CIS for 10 years, and those records will have all the individual comments for you to review.
