Permissions are set such that any user can read or write these surveys. These permissions can be changed via the Survey Read Access and Survey Write Access controls.

Also, make sure to keep an evaluation survey Survey Taking Access set to "mentor evaluation" or "student evaluation".

Notes About Editing Surveys

When you create a new question, you can fill in a custom prompt. The selection field gives you several choices for how options are rendered - either as dropdown fields, checkboxes, or radio buttons.

We realize that it is tedious to re-create a long midterm over and over again, so the next release should include the ability to save and load survey questions.

Notes About Taking Surveys

For evaluations, you must choose a project while taking a survey. If you are a mentor with more than one project, you should take the survey for each project of yours, and nag messages will be sent for your unfilled surveys.

When you choose a different project, your last saved responses for the survey should be loaded.
