In the Spring of 2004, Fordham Law School started conducting its student course evaluations online. This proposed session will outline the development of the online evaluations application which was created in-house, the requirements and how the online process has affected the course evaluations. The session will also present the advantages and disadvantages of online student course evaluations compared to hand-written ones. The sessions will also include unexpected effects, good and bad, as Fordham Law School continues to conduct its online course evaluations on its seventh semester.
