Adding Custom Questions to a Course Section as an Instructor
Instructor-added custom questions allow instructors to add questions to the evaluation for a specific course section. These questions appear at the very end of the evaluation. Administrators need to designate permissions to allow instructors to add additional questions.
Questions may only be added up until the time the administration opens. The results will be available when reports are released.
Instructors assigned to cross-listed course sections will be able to independently assign questions specific to each section in the cross-listing, while instructors in a course section with more than one instructor (team taught) will be able to collaborate on the questions that they will ask. Both instructors will see questions added by the other instructor on their preview as well as the results to those questions when reports are released.
Full Administrators and Report Administrators can see the additional questions that were added by the instructors as well as the responses from students.
