How do I add custom questions?
- NOTE: Custom Questions must be created before setting up dates for your online evaluations. After you have created your custom survey, then you can go in to attach it to the current semester’s online evaluations.
- For instructions on how to add custom questions, click this link to go to the IT Help Page article that goes through the steps with helpful screenshots.
How do I check the response rate?
- You will receive an email from EvaluationKIT one day after your evaluation has been opened. The email should contain a table of your courses with the number of responses you have received. (If you did not receive an email, check your spam folder.) – use that email as verification that your evaluation was sent out correctly.
- For more instructions with screenshots, click this link to go to the IT Help Page article on checking response rates.
How can I access online submissions?
- Evaluation submission results will become available the day after grades are due.
- For specific instructions, click this link to go to the IT Help Page article for accessing the evaluation results.
Why don’t I see the “Course Evaluations” link in my Canvas account profile?
- It sometimes takes a few seconds for the “course evaluations” link to show up, so wait if you don’t see it right away.
My EvaluationKIT says “Student/Respondent” and it doesn’t say “Instructor.”
- If you have a student role in any Canvas courses, you will automatically be entered into EvaluationKIT with the Student/Respondent role.
- To change the role, click on the drop-down arrow and select “Instructor."
I can’t find the link in “Manage Courses” for the current semester’s evaluations.
- If there is no link available for the current semester in the Manage Courses section, then it is either too soon or too late to set up your online course evaluations. If you can’t find it, send an email to jbmclean@svsu.edu to check to see if the evaluations have been set up yet.
How do I know that my evaluations have been sent out?
- You will receive an email from EvaluationKIT one day after your evaluation has been opened. You may also check the Online Course Evaluation widget in Canvas. The widget is located under the To-Do list on the right-hand side of the Canvas homepage of your course.
- Student View in Canvas will not work with Online Course Evaluations, so you will not be able to log into Student View and see if evaluations are available to students.
How do I change the evaluation start or end date if I made a mistake?
- The link for your evaluations under the current semester’s project will disappear once you have set up and saved the start and end dates. If you need to change your dates, please email jbmclean@svsu.edu with the specific course number and section you are teaching, along with the specific start and end dates you want for the evaluation. If you want to change multiple courses, you must send the number and section for all the courses. (i.e., ENGL 201-01, ENGL 201-02, etc.)
Why do I have an evaluation for a course I am not teaching?
- If you are added as an instructor in ANY Canvas Course, you will automatically be assigned an evaluation in the EvaluationKit software.
- If you do not want an evaluation sent out, you do not have to set up the start and end dates. That ensures the evaluation is not sent out to students.
