3. Automate feedback reminders, anonymization, collation, and reporting to faculty and administration, ensuring continuous quality improvement.

4. Support automated alerts for low satisfaction or recurring issues, enabling faster responsive curriculum updates.

5. Automate periodic feedback requests post-projects, mid-term, and post-term, ensuring complete cyclical evaluation coverage.

Trigger Conditions

1. End-of-course dates reached in academic calendar.

2. Manual trigger by course coordinator for ad-hoc analysis.
