Students have until Sunday, Nov. 29, to complete their Teaching Surveys. There's still time to reach out to your students to communicate the importance of the survey process. Here are a few tips that may help:

• Send personal emails encouraging students to participate.
• Add the OMET survey block to your course(s) in Canvas.
• Tell students about how survey links are distributed (email, MyPitt Portal, Canvas).
• Talk to students about how to provide meaningful feedback.
• Give examples of how you've used student feedback in the past in your course(s).
