Make a new response type that can be used with evaluation questions.
1.In the Administration area, click on the Course Evaluations tab.
2.Click the Response Type tab and then click the Add Response Type button.
3.Enter a title for the response type and then click the Next button. The title should be descriptive so that you can select this response choice from a list.
4.When you create a response type, three choices are added for you: Unsatisfactory, No Opinion/Neutral, and Satisfactory. Start by editing these choices in the "Edit Choices" section.
5.Enter a Value for each choice (if you want different ones than those provided). We recommend using positive integers for satisfactory responses and negative for unsatisfactory ones.
6.Enter a description for the response choice, if applicable. This will be used in a legend.
7.When you are done editing response choices, click the Save Changes button. This will update the response choices in the "How it will look" section.
8.If you want to add more choices, add the Choice Text, Value, and Description in the boxes under "Add Choice" and then click the Add Another Response Type button. This will update the "How it will look" section.
9.Follow the same procedure until you have added all of the response choices you need.
Next you will create a Course Evaluation.
Note that you won't be able to change or delete the response type once it has been used in an evaluation.
