How do I Create a Survey in my Course? – Bearface

You can use surveys to receive feedback from your students or give them some extra points by responding to a survey. Graded surveys appear in the Syllabus, Gradebook, Calendar, and To Do Lists.

Note: Student Analysis for surveys must be downloaded as a CSV file. Item Analysis is not available for surveys.

Name Survey Question

Survey questions are not automatically numbered for instructors. To add a custom name to your survey question, enter the name in the question text field. Custom names can help you identify survey questions more easily.

Regardless of the question name, students always see survey questions in numerical order (i.e. Question 1, Question 2).
