1. What programming language and database does the course evaluation software use?

   Online Course Evaluations uses the cutting edge Asp.Net internet programming language combined with a robust SQL Server database back-end to deliver its highly customizable reports.
   
   We are more than capable of storing the amount of data that will be generated.[TOP]

2. What is your guaranteed uptime?

   We host the software on our servers and guarantee 98% uptime or better! You never have to worry about technical support![TOP]

3. Do your pages load quickly?

   Yes! If you haven't noticed, our site loads quickly because there are VERY few graphics. [TOP ]

4. Is your site compatible with all browsers?

   Yes. Evaluations produced are completely HTML compliant for maximum compatibility with all browsers on the Internet. There is no Java-script on the evaluation pages. Administration and reporting pages do utilize java-script, but fail-over gracefully to non-compliant browsers.[TOP]

5. Do you restrict the dates of the evaluation?

   Evaluations are only allowed to be completed between certain dates of the semester to ensure the maximum amount feedback and fewest flawed evaluations.[TOP]

6. How do you ensure that students don't complete multiple evaluations for the same course?

   We require a password for students to complete their evaluations. Users are allowed to submit only one evaluation per course.[TOP]

7. How do you keep the data secure?

   Security is one of our primary concerns, and we have designed our system to exceed your university's confidentiality requirements. We use 128-bit encryption--the same level that banks use.
   
   Servers are protected using Microsoft's I.S.A. firewall as well as a hardware firewall.
   
   We have worked hard to keep the amount of personal student data we need to a minimum to alleviate any concerns over keeping data private. To this end, we do not require the university to provide us with students' names, addresses, phone numbers, social security numbers or grades to run the evaluations.[TOP]
