General Information

• You must have at least one template to create an evaluation (Setup)
• Once you create a template you may preview it from the list of templates, or from the evaluation setup once it is picked.
• Currently, there are no global questions on the production site. You should ask at least one question for the Evaluation, Instructor, and Teaching Assistant. These should apply to all learning activities. Once the Academic Senate approves of the global questions, you should review your template questions and remove any duplicate questions.
• If you do not have any questions that apply to all learning activities, the students may be presented with an evaluation with no questions. Note! Always preview the evaluations once they are created.

Create Template

• All templates need a name. It does not have to be unique.
• The answer type may be numeric, text, or both numeric and text.
  • Numeric: The student will be presented with a list of scale term answers to chose from based on the global questions or you department’s scale terms. They will be listed from highest to lowest and will not show their numeric value unless that was added to the scale terms in the department settings. For non-global questions, N/A will always be added as a choice. Consider wording you question as a statement.
  • Text: The student will be presented with a text area where they can enter multiple lines of text. The number of characters may be limited by the department settings.
  • Both Numeric and Text: The student will be presented with the numeric choices, then a text area labeled “Addition comments”.
• Any questions in a specific learning activity will only be displayed to the student if the evaluation is for that learning activity. So if you have a discussion learning activity, and the evaluation is for a lecture, those questions will not be displayed.
