Feedback Submission
Students submit structured, anonymous feedback about teachers and courses through the portal. The HOD uses this data for performance evaluation and NAAC reporting.
1. Pending Feedback List
A list of all feedback forms assigned to the student that have not yet been submitted. Each card shows:
- Form Title — e.g., "Mid-Semester Teacher Feedback — Semester IV"
- Assigned By — HOD who created the form
- Deadline — Due date with countdown. After the deadline, the form is closed and cannot be submitted.
- Questions Count — Total number of questions in the form
- "Fill Feedback" Button — Navigates to the teacher selection step
Completed feedback forms appear in a separate "Submitted" tab — students can view what they submitted but cannot edit it.
2. Teacher Selection
When a feedback form covers multiple teachers, the student first selects which teacher they're rating in this session. The system auto-populates teachers assigned to the student's class for the relevant subjects.
- Each teacher card shows: name, subjects they teach, profile photo (if available).
- Already-submitted teachers are greyed out with a "Submitted ✓" badge — prevents duplicate submissions.
3. Feedback Form
The main rating interface — clean, mobile-optimized, one question per section.
3.1 Question Types
| Type | Description | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Rating Scale | 1–5 or 1–10 star/dot selector | "Rate the teacher's communication clarity" |
| Multiple Choice | Single-select from 4 options | "How often does the teacher use examples?" |
| Open Text | Free-text comment box | "What can the teacher improve?" |
| Yes/No | Binary radio buttons | "Does the teacher complete the syllabus on time?" |
3.2 Anonymity & Privacy
- Anonymous by Design: The HOD and teacher never see which student gave which rating. The system stores only the aggregate count and scores, not individual student-to-response links (when anonymity is enabled by HOD).
- Anonymity Badge: A "🔒 This feedback is anonymous" badge is prominently displayed on the form so students feel safe giving honest responses.
- Non-Anonymous Mode: For certain feedback types (e.g., course improvement suggestions), the HOD may disable anonymity. A "Your name will be visible" warning is shown in this case.
3.3 Submission Process
- All required questions must be answered before submitting — unanswered questions are highlighted.
- A progress bar at the top shows how many questions have been answered out of total.
- On submit, the response is saved and the student is redirected to the thank-you page.
4. Confirmation Page
- A clean confirmation screen: "Thank you! Your feedback has been submitted successfully."
- Shows a summary of which teacher/form was rated.
- Provides a "Submit Feedback for Another Teacher" button if other teachers in the same form haven't been rated yet.
Benefit: Anonymous digital feedback encourages honest responses. Response rates are 2–3× higher compared to paper-based feedback. The HOD gets instant analytics — no manual tabulation. Teachers receive fair, aggregated performance scores that feed directly into evaluation reports and NAAC Criterion 2 documentation.
