There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu
*********************************
Georgia Tech policy requires all courses that have at least seven students and that are not independent research or similar types of courses (visiting lectures, unsupervised laboratory, etc.) be surveyed each term by all enrolled students. To satisfy this policy, a Web-based questionnaire is administered once each term to collect students’ assessments of their classes and instructors. This questionnaire is known as the Course/Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS).
In summer 2014, CIOS was moved to a new vendor (Gap Technologies) whose SmartEvals product provided significant advancement in reporting capabilities, mobile survey access, and survey administration. CIOS is administered by the Office of Academic Effectiveness.
