Creating Survey

To create your own survey you will find a link on the control panel called 'Manage Evaluations'.

The manage evaluations menu will only show those surveys that you have control over. If you are a department head, all department courses will be listed. If you are an instructor you will only see courses that you are teaching.

On the next step instructors may choose to create their own survey. This survey is called a Supplemental (Ad Hoc). School deans will have an option for a master Department survey.
