Blue - Question Personalization (QP) (Instructor) [UW-Madison]

In the Blue tool, instructors can add two additional questions to their student evaluations of instruction for course sections they teach. Adding questions is known as Question Personalization (QP). All other questions in the evaluation are preset and cannot be changed. The questions you add will be included in your reports only, not the department and/or college’s reports.

Cross-listed Courses: In cross-listed courses, instructors must add personalized questions for each section for all students to see them.

Question Personalization (QP)

1. You will receive an email when you can begin QP.
2. Open the link in the email or navigate to Blue in your web browser (https://studenteval.wisc.edu).
   Note: Alternatively, open your Canvas course page and select Course Evaluations from the sidebar.
3. Log in with your NetID and password. Blue will list all course sections that have open evaluations. It will also indicated when they are due. If a course section is eligible for QP, a Start Now button will appear next to it.
   
4. Select Start Now beside the course evaluation you would like to modify. This will open the evaluation.
5. To see the questions that are already in the survey, select Preview.
   
6. Blue displays the message: "by selecting “Consent,” you acknowledge that you understand your responses may not be anonymous in this small-enrollment course and agree to participate in this evaluation. Please choose “Consent” or “Decline” to continue". You will need to select Consent to continue. This message displays for all previews, but will actually only display on a student evaluation if the course has fewer than five students enrolled.
