Can individual instructors, departments, or colleges customize their evaluations?
The Web-based course evaluation system gives colleges, departments, and programs the flexibility to add survey questions, including open-ended questions, to their evaluation instruments. There are two questions that must appear on each survey as required by the university:
- Overall, I learned a lot in this course.
- Overall, this instructor was effective.
Ultimately, the design of each evaluation instrument is left to the discretion of the college or department. As long as they include the two required questions mentioned above, colleges and departments can freely customize their evaluation instruments and retain their own unique set of questions.
Currently, individual instructors cannot customize their evaluation instruments.
