Question
How do I copy an existing project for a new semester in Course Evaluation?
Answer
This is the first step in setting up an evaluation for a new semester and is one of the ways to make sure the process goes quickly and smoothly.
Copying the Project
- Log in to the Course Evaluation tool. User can login via Canvas or directly at bgsu.evaluationkit.com. If you don't have an Course Evaluation account, read this article.
- Select CES Administrator from the Student/Respondent drop down if the administrative dashboard isn't displayed.
- Click on Project from the top menu bar.
- Locate the project to copy from the Most Recent section and select the Copy Icon.
- On the pop-up that appears, change the name for the new semester, and then un-check courses and students/instructors and then select Copy.
Changing Project Properties
- The new project should open automatically, it can be re-opened later on the projects screen.
- Scroll to the top of the project properties screen, or select project properties from the breadcrumbs, and change the project start and end date for the new semester.
- These dates are the times when students can take the evaluation and represent the only information that must change on this screen.
- Select Courses from the top breadcrumbs.
- Select Canvas from the section labeled Data Import.
- Sync the most recent courses and then search for and add your courses.
- Select the Communications tab and modify any email communications to the new dates and times.
- All of the other steps are not needed, as they will be completed by the copy or the course import (users are imported with courses)
- Select the Deploy breadcrumb and select the deploy project button.
