Many colleges have either begun or are contemplating using the web‐based survey to gather student feedback on faculty teaching. Unlike the paper‐based method, the web‐based approach gives every student in the class the opportunity to provide feedback. Hence, the populations that participate in the web‐based and paper‐based methods may be quite different, and so may be the feedback. This paper compares the results of student feedback gathered through paper‐based and web‐based approaches. The results provide information to faculty and administrators on any differences they may expect as they make the transition from a paper‐based to a web‐based survey of faculty teaching.
