Are you looking to use Course Evaluations for a large general survey? If your survey is larger than 500 participants we recommend creating the survey as a 'Standard' survey. Here is what you will need to do:


  • Create the Response Sets

  • Create Question/s - Set the question Category as 'Overall' type

  • Create the Course - Manually or via import
    The course will need at least one faculty attached. You can create a generic faculty account just for these type of surveys or it can be any faculty member(s) who will need to view the results.
    Note: If the faculty are taking the survey then you would just reverse the course setup. The person/s viewing the results would be set as the 'Responsible Faculty' and the faculty taking the survey would be set up as 'Participating Faculty' on the survey.

  • Enrollment of Participants - attach the participants to the course
    Attach the participants to the course manually (if only a handful) or populate a spreadsheet as you would a typical enrollment import. If students are completing the survey you would do an Enrollment-Student import. If faculty are the ones completing the survey you would do a Enrollment-Participating Faculty import.

  • Set up the Survey and Group Emails. This will include attaching your new course to the survey.
    IMPORTANT:
    • If students are completing the survey you would set the Assessment Focus as 'Students will assess themselves'
    • If faculty are completing the survey you would set the Assessment Focus as 'Faculty will assess themselves'
