A: A description of the types of question sets (forms) available can be accessed in the Form Descriptions document. This document explains the course structures for which each form is designed to gather feedback. The Sample IAS Forms and Accessible Sample IAS Forms documents also allow access to the specific questions asked on each type of form. Additionally, the Course Evaluation Coordinator can review the request history for your department and offer suggestions and assistance.

A: Because of the way the Blue evaluation software is set up, you cannot use multiple question sets to evaluate a single class.

Each question set does have two versions. The version labeled with "-SC" includes long-form written evaluation (Student Comments Form) questions designed to gather additional qualitative feedback.

Additionally, some units have developed supplemental questionnaires using Qualtrics or other systems that they request students fill out in addition to the surveys distributed and tracked via Blue. Unfortunately, data collected through supplemental instruments like this cannot be included in the reports generated/distributed by and saved in Blue. Recording, reporting, and archiving this supplemental data is the responsibility of the unit.

A: Yes! In courses with multiple instructors, as long as each instructor is correctly identified in the Instructors section of the course in DIG by the DIG administrator, all instructor-related questions will be asked separately for each instructor listed (each question identifies the instructor it's asking about) while questions about the course as a whole will only be asked once.

Unique evaluation reports are generated for each instructor and only include the feedback about their performance and about the course as a whole.

A: The Blue evaluation software is fully compatible with assistive technology, such as screen reader software. If you have a student who needs any additional accommodation, please contact the Course Evaluations Coordinator.
