HelioCampus AC - Eval Results - Changing the Minimum Response Requirement (Admin) [UW-Madison]

HelioCampus AC administrators can adjust the Minimum Response value in HelioCampus AC so that instructors can see their survey evaluation results in courses with low enrollments or low survey response rates.

By default, UW-Madison instructors cannot see the results of their course evaluation surveys unless a minimum of five students have responded.

As necessary, HelioCampus AC administrators can lower the minimum response requirement for a course section, course, department, or college. However, you always want to make sure the course evaluations are anonymous, so carefully consider if you should lower just the minimum for a single course or for the entire department. Below are instructions to change the minimum at the department or college, at the course, and at the section level. 

   

Changing the Minimum Response Requirement for a Department or College

HelioCampus AC college or department administrators can lower the minimum responses requirement for all courses in their college or department. Changing this setting at the department and/or college level is not recommended. However, it may be useful for departments that contain many small-enrollment courses.
