Course Evaluations
Course evaluations use a web-based system called Blue for evaluating the vast majority of Boise State University courses.
Students and instructors can log in to Blue when an evaluation period opens, which occurs near the end of the course.
Find how-to articles for using Blue in the Learning Technology Solutions knowledge base.
