For one of my courses, the lecturer is also a tutor – how should this be set up so that students do not receive a duplicate question set?
Teaching staff should only be entered into each course once. The system does not allow duplicates.
If the staff member interacts with all students in the course, they should be identified as being 'Mandatory' for feedback.
Teaching staff who do not interact with all students in the course should be identified as 'Optional' for feedback. This will allow students to select only the relevant teaching staff.
For one of my courses there are different ‘streams’ of students who are taught by different teachers (i.e. not all students are taught by all teachers) – how should this be set up?
Add all of the teachers to the course, identified as 'optional' for feedback, so students can select and evaluate all teachers they interact with.
For one of my courses there are multiple teachers and I’m not sure which teacher is in front of which student – how should this be set up?
Add all of the teachers to the course, identified as 'optional' for feedback, so students can select and evaluate all teachers they interact with.
What should I do if a teacher does not appear in the drop down list when I try to add them to a class?
All staff working at UNSW should be included in the database. If for any reason, a teacher is not in the user database, contact [email protected]
Can I edit the preferred name of a teacher?
Yes, you can manually update the text in the preferred first name field on the data preparation page. Preferred first name is first name that will appear in the student survey.
If a class or tutorial is closed due to no enrolments (‘cancelled’ in class maintenance), will it appear in my class list?
All courses with students enrolled will be included in your list, but at the course level only.
What happens if I click the ‘Restore’ button in the courses drop-down menu?
If you click ‘Restore’ you will lose any changes you have made.
NB - Published data cannot be restored.
What is the ‘eyeball’?
The eyeball shows which was the last survey you edited.
Where will the course questions appear?
- Course questions are assigned to each survey.
- You can see this in Data Prep in the right-hand column marked 'Survey question status'. Any row marked 'Course and Teaching questions' will include the course questions.
What survey name appears to students?
The 'name' column will be displayed to students when they login to the survey
