I was trying to login to SIM (Singapore Institute of Management) student portal and was greeted with the following:
Electronic Course Evaluation (eCE) system
Dear SIM student,
As a student of the SIM, you are invited to give your feedback and evaluate the SIM in the areas of academic and Programme management. Your inputs are very important in helping us assess the overall success of the programme and improve our level of service to you.
…
Thank you.

The course evaluation system is compulsory. This pisses me off. I hate to fill in forms. If I don’t fill the bloody form I can’t access the student portal. And no, logging in and out didn’t work. I’m just stuck at this ‘invitation’ all over again. I have 2 options:
- Call the admin to retract the invitation
- Do the invitation
You know which one I’ll pick - I guess the latter… I hate to call offices too.
The document continues to elaborate:
The eCE will replace the traditional pen and paper medium and it has the following benefits:
- will not take up your class time
- allow you to give us candid feedback at your convenience
- you have more time to reflect on your comments
Somehow I rather they take my class time… This is not a benefit. It’s waste my time at home. If I will most certainly give candid feedback on the feedback system. Honestly, I totally lost faith in these feedback forms. I don’t see a point doing something I don’t believe in. (more…)
