Add Questions to an Evaluation

Add, Edit and Delete My Items

Instructors have the ability to add instructor-created items (questions) to their course evaluations. These items will also be saved for future use in your item bank, under “My Items.” To add items, navigate to the My Course Evaluations page found under the EVALUATIONS>VIEW ALL EVALUATIONS tabs, then click the “Add Items” button on the right column labeled ACTION. This will take you to a new page.

Note: The ability for instructors to add their own items to an evaluation is a feature that can be turned on or off for each institution; if you do not see the “Add Items” link for your evaluations, please contact your campus course evaluation administrator.

If there are no existing items in your evaluation or item bank (if you have never created items), you will be brought to the “Add Items to Evaluation” page.
