| Question: |
What is my user name and password?
|
| Answer: |
Your user name is the instructor number assigned to you by the University. If you are using our system for
the first time, or if you have never created a password on our system, then your password is the same as your user name.
|
|
|
| Question: |
Why do I need to provide a
question and answer when I change my password?
|
| Answer: |
The question and answer that
you provide will be used to identify you, in case you forget your
password and wish to reset it using our automated system. When you
forget your password, you will be presented with the question. If
you answer it correctly, your password will be reset. Since the
question is visible to anyone who has access to or can guess your
user name, be sure to make a question whose answer is
difficult to guess. For example, you might provide the question
'What is your favorite pet's name?' and the answer 'Rasmussen'.

| Question: |
Before I could see if a student has submitted an evaluation, but now I can't. Why?
|
| Answer: |
In the past, instructors were allowed to see if a given student had evaluated his/her class. To better protect the privacy and
anonymity of the evaluations, we have decided to change this policy: instructors will only be allowed to see a PERCENTAGE. The percentage reflects the number of
students who have evaluated versus the number of students who take the course. Only a handful
of staff, who are NOT instructors, will be allowed to see a student's evaluation status.
|
|
|
| Question: |
When I try to view a report, I am told that I can't see it until more
evaluations are submitted. Why?
|
| Answer: |
Two criteria must be satisfied in order for you to be allowed to view a compilation:
(1) at least 2 students must have evaluated and
(2) at least 25% of the students must have evaluated. This policy is meant to prevent
the instructor from "deducing" the identity of the submitter of the evaluation.
|
|
|
| Question: |
What measures do you take to protect my password?
|
| Answer: |
All data that you submit to us is protected during transfer using 128-bit SSL encryption.

|
| Question: |
When I try to make changes to a class's student list, I get the message "The date before which
you have permission to modify this class has passed!" Why does this happen?
|
| Answer: |
Each class has an "edit" date before which staff with sufficient permissions can modify the class.
You receive this message because this date has passed and our system will no longer allow you to
make any changes to that class. We do this to ensure that no staff modify a class's list during
during the period when students are submitting evaluations.
|
|
|
| Question: |
Can I change a student's status to or from "Yes"?
|
| Answer: |
No. You cannot change a student's status to "Yes" or from "Yes" via this interface, no
matter what your permissions are.
