We administer a variety of surveys throughout the year such as evaluations of the library or food service, student intent to return the next semester, graduating student plans, etc. We would like to be able to administer them through Populi but currently can only attach one survey (evaluation) to a course. If we could attach multiple surveys/evaluations then we could create these using the evaluation mode and get students to complete them through a course. The other option would be to create an assignment type that is an evaluation/survey. We need the ability to download the results in an excel sheet so that we can evaluate the information. Currently we are administering these as tests in courses but we can't download the information and we don't want to assign grades.

Debra Reese The ability to use multiple evaluations per would be very beneficial for our school! -
Twila Tuttle Pleas allow us to have multiple evaluations
-
Josiah Stephan They have helped greatly with this. You have the ability to embed course evaluations within another, so we currently have evaluations for our library, student services, and much more that are all utilized within our course evaluation for our classes.
-
Debra Reese We need the ability to use multiple evaluations at different times throughout the year for the same course. This is the case especially for our clinical courses which the students attend on three different clinical weekends with potentially three different instructors.
-
David Kosobucki Yes, very much agreed. The evaluation tools at present are terrific, but if we could do, for example, a midterm eval, then instructors newer to online education could see how well their efforts were being perceived.halfway through a course - in other words, in time to make some corrections in their instructional style.

Donna Knottek We also need this functionality, please, please. How many likes/requests does it typically take to move forward on a request?
Also, I am confused by Josiah Stephan's comment. Sounds as though he is saying the ability is there. Please explain.
Thank you!

Adam Sentz @Donna - There isn't a specific number, but enough to get a request on the first page doesn't hurt. Josiah was referring to the ability to embed evals in other evals which helps in certain cases, but still doesn't allow you to offer multiple different evals over the length of a course.
-
Sumathi Lingappa We also need the ability to administer multiple evaluations per course within a term. I hope you can add this functionality soon.
-
Joshua Walker We too would like to be able to have multiple course evaluations over a semester for each class. Let me explain why.
In addition to the typical end-of-course evaluation, we like to have a midterm course evaluation that allows us to make immediate changes for the course rather than waiting for the end of the semester and adjusting for the next semester / year. It gives a great means of finding problems and being proactive with the students experiencing them instead of the students just putting the information in a course evaluation and wondering if it ever got fixed. We find this actually gives more incentive for students to fill out the evaluation because they might see immediate results rather than just doing it for the benefit of a future generation of students.
-
Clark Wray We would also like to create multiple evaluations per course so that we can have a mid-course evaluation. Same reasons that Joshua Walker already brought up.
-
Andy Petroski I would also like to see this feature implemented in order to do a mid-course and end-of-course evaluation in each course.
-
Scott Lencke We are exploring this as well due to a small selection of our courses running in a multi-block format - focusing on one subject area, then moving to another subject area halfway through the semester. For now, you might be able to utilize Google Forms or Survey Monkey as an external source for evaluations.
-
Ken Boersma This functionality would be a great benefit for us as well.
-
Rianne Quiring We would also benefit from being able to create multiple evaluations for a course. Please add this feature.

Andrew Gabriel I just had another conversation the other day about how this would be a great feature! We offer 1-week modules where faculty are only on campus for one week, but then the course work happens over the next 12 weeks. It seems odd to have students evaluate the profs teaching after so many weeks, so we would like the instructor evaluation to happen at the end of the module week, and the rest of the course eval (or something like that) at the end of the course as a whole.
-
Nicole Fenix Our school has a midterm and final evaluation. We would like to have them separate. Currently we have the midterm first and then the students haver to scroll down to find the final evaluation at the end of the term.
Often a student will complete by both surveys at midterm and then others do not see the final evaluation.
We are hoping to come up with a better method.
thank you
-
Ellen Arsenault We would like to have students complete evaluations at different points of the semester within a course, it would be great if this option were available in Populi.
-
Joseph Bullock It would be great if we could do 2 or 3 evaluations during the term.
-
Donna Harrington As a consciousness centered graduate school, we have a very dynamic course improvement process. Because Populi only supports a single evaluation each term, we had to look for alternatives for more frequent feedback.
-
Rianne Quiring I would like to bring this request forth again. The ability to have several course evaluations for a course instance would be very beneficial. Please consider responding to this request.
-
Brittany Sanelli Yes, please add this feature! This goes back to 2015 and has so many votes and requests. Please make this top priority, Populi. It is time!
-
Rachel Perry Yes, please, when can we add the functionality to have more than one evaluation per term? This is direly needed.
