FAQs for Faculty

Let students know how the ROSE process matters to you and your department, and how you have used prior feedback to improve your teaching practices.

Emphasize the importance of everyone’s response, particularly in small classes and departments.

Reinforce our communication with students from ROSEsupport@sonoma.edu. Keep your students informed when the ROSE period opens and closes. Remind them where to find the links: in their email, on Canvas, or direct them to this page!

Make time for ROSE. Set aside 10–15 minutes of class time so that students are not rushed, have an opportunity to reflect on their experience, and can provide more thoughtful feedback. Please keep in mind that instructors should not be present while students are completing their ROSE.

You will be sent emails throughout the distribution period. You may also reach out to ROSEsupport@sonoma.edu for an update.
During the ROSE period, Canvas will show a response rate, such as the one in the screenshot below. 

Cross-listed courses are sets of course sections offered at the same time, with the same instructor(s). Each set of cross-listed sections has the possibility to be merged into a new single master class. If the course is combined, students receive a survey for the cross-listed master class.

Students receive one ROSE invitation for the course. An instructor’s name appears as a heading before the core ROSE questions. After completing the core questions (and any department questions), students may click on “save and continue” to provide feedback for the next instructor.

ROSE reports are made available after the end of the semester and grades have been submitted.

Contact Academic Personnel to request ROSE results for regular courses taught during fall or spring semesters.

Contact Adrianne Tiraterra in Extended Education for ROSE results for courses taught through EXED.
