As an instructor, you may add up to eight questions for each of your courses (4 rating-type questions and 4 open-ended questions). You may copy questions selected for one course for use in another course. You also have the option of submitting no questions. In this case, simply click the “Submit” button without creating any questions. Doing this will spare you from reminder emails asking you to create your own questions.
1. Create a Custom Rating or Open-Ended Question:
- Access the question personalization task via the link in your email or by going to https://course-evaluations.berkeley.edu and finding the "Question Personalization" task for your course from the dashboard.
- Find the section titled "Create your Custom Open-ended Questions" or "Create your own Custom Rating Questions" and click the "Show Section" button. You will see an expanded section with an option for creating up to 4 questions.
- Click the "Edit" button beside the first question:
- Once clicked, the field will expand as shown:
- Click on the phrase [Please enter your 1st open-ended question] to activate the yellow box. Then begin typing your question.
- To include your question on the evaluation form, click the "Select" button to the right of the question. The question will now show as "Selected." You can easily deselect a question you have selected by clicking the "Deselect" button to the right of the question.
- Repeat the steps above as needed to create additional open ended or rating questions.
- You can use the "Preview Questionnaire" button to see what students will see.
- Note that selected questions are not added to the evaluation form until you click on "Submit." See steps below.
2. Submit the questions you have created:
- Once you have finalized your questions, click the “Submit” button at the bottom of the page to add your questions to the evaluation form.
- Personalized questions will not appear on the evaluation form until you click "Submit"
- You can submit a maximum of eight questions (4 quantitative/rating questions and 4 qualitative/open ended questions).
- If you are interrupted before you can complete the customization process, click the “Save” button at the bottom of the page to store your work without submitting your questions.
- You will be able to return to your work by clicking on the email link you received previously.
- If you want to change your selections later, you can do so by repeating the edit process and clicking the “Update” button at the bottom of the page.
3. (Optional) Copy your questions to other sections
You can add different personalized questions to each of your course sections, or draft your questions once, and copy them to multiple sections. If you are being evaluated for more than one section, you will see the "Copy" menu at the bottom of the question personalization page, next to the submit button.
- To copy the questions you have entered on this page to one or more other sections:
- Select the course you wish to copy your questions to, and select "Copy & Submit"
- Repeat as necessary if you have more than two sections. You can also select the "All" option to copy your questions to all other sections.
- Note, this will copy and submit questions to the other sections. You still must click the "Submit" button to add questions to the section you are currently viewing.
