Most courses offered for academic credit in the Johns Hopkins Bloomberg School of Public Health, whether on-site or off-site, are evaluated by students. The mechanics of course evaluations are handled by the Office of the Associate Dean for Graduate Education and Research.

During course instruction, students have the ability to provide confidential feedback directly to the primary course instructor via the web supplement mechanism.

In addition, two methods of course evaluations are utilized after the course. The first type, the standardized evaluation, is meant to be useful to two audiences: to those interested in how a specific course was rated by the students who attended it, and to faculty advisors, who must suggest to students particular courses at the School. The standardized evaluation includes questions about various aspects of the course content, the appropriateness of the workload in the course, and the instructor's ability to teach the course. The responses to all of the quantitative questions are publicly available.

The second type of evaluation, comments to open-ended questions, offers students an opportunity to provide qualitative feedback to instructors on how to improve their courses. The feedback is available for the primary instructor, the co-instructors, the Department Chair and Academic Coordinator, and the Office of Graduate Education and Research.
