HelioCampus AC - Eval - Survey Questions - Adding Course Section Specific Questions (Instructor) [UW-Madison]
As an instructor, you can only create questions on your HelioCampus AC survey if these conditions are met:
- You are listed as an Instructor for your course in HelioCampus AC.

- Your evaluation will not be released to students for at least 24 hours.
Navigate to Course Section Question Designer
- Log into HelioCampus AC with your NetID credentials.
- On your HelioCampus AC Dashboard, find the My Course Sections & Syllabi module.
- Find the course section for which you would like to add questions. Select the blue pencil icon to make edits.
- You will be brought to your Course Sections page. Select Survey Questions from the left menu bar.
- If you have not yet created any questions, you will see the No Course Section Survey Questions have been added message. Click the blue Let's Begin button.

Create a New Survey Question
On the course section question designer page:

Create a Matrix Question
Course and instructor-type matrix questions function differently than other question types. To create a matrix question:

- To remove a matrix, select the gear icon, uncheck the box to the left of Matrix Question, then press the blue check to confirm the change.
Edit or Copy an Existing Survey Question
You will see a list of the questions you have created so far on the course section question designer page.
Publish Survey Questions
You must publish your questions at least one day before the survey is scheduled to go out. Questions that have not been published and questions that have been published after the deadline will not appear on your survey.
- After you have added all of your questions, click the blue Exit button in the top right corner of the course section question designer page. If you had previously added questions, just click on Survey Questions within the Course Section.
- You will see a warning that your questions aren't published. If you are done adding and editing questions, click the red Publish Questions button.
- You will be asked to confirm that you want to publish your questions. Note that once they have been published, you will not be able to edit your questions or to add any additional questions. Click Publish to continue.
- Once you have successfully published your questions, the warning message will be replaced by a notification that you have published your questions.
