Project Results

This is the source to create individual course results.  Results can be viewed from the Project Results widget on the instructor dashboard or by selecting Project Results in the Results Menu.  It will display the courses that were evaluated in the semester’s project. 

The widget, however, will only show the courses that had data to compile results.  To view all courses that a course evaluation was administered, it will need to be viewed through the Results Menu – Project Results
