How do I review my Course Feedback tasks?

At the end of 6th week of the academic quarter, the Office of the University Registrar will send an email to the faculty teaching courses in the undergraduate or graduate careers to inform them that they can review the tasks that are associated with the courses that will receive feedback for that quarter. When you log into the course feedback tool, you will see one to two tasks for each course in which you are teaching.

Some commonly used functionality within the feedback tool is using the search field to filter your tasks, sorting your tasks by Name, Status, etc, and you can determine which item remain “open” by viewing the status for each task.

Be sure to click on the Submit form in the upper right hand corner.  If you have already submitted your questions, the button will appear as “Update” if you wish to make any further changes.

Can I copy my customized questions to or from my other courses?

Customized questions can be copied “to” or “from” the courses that you are teaching within the same quarter.  To access the copy function, click on the Add customized questions task from the task homepage.
