Course Evaluations: Faculty

Course Evaluations are used to improve the quality of teaching and learning at Pepperdine University through feedback to individual faculty members. Responses to the course evaluations provide information on students' perceptions of their engagement, learning outcomes, the instructor's behavior, and course activities, and help guide changes in future iterations of the course and/or the instructor's teaching.

To access the online course evaluation system log into WaveNet and ensure "View as Faculty" is selected. Select the Academic Resources folder and then click on the Online Course Evaluations link. Then log into CoursEval with your Pepperdine ID and password. You can also log on directly to https://CourseEval.pepperdine.edu.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can a student print out a confirmation page to show he/she completed my survey?

Yes. The student can log into the course evaluation, on the home page click the "Completed Surveys" link found in the upper right hand corner of the page. The student will then be taken to a page that shows all of the surveys he/she has completed. This page can be used as the confirmation page.
