Custom questions

The semester deadline for submitting custom questions will be posted on the FCQ calendar at the beginning of each term. Custom questions may be submitted at any time, but in order to appear on evaluations within the current term they must be submitted before the deadline (usually week 7 or 8 of the semester).

Questions submitted past the deadline will still be accepted, but they won't appear on the FCQ until the following term.

Example: If the deadline for fall is November 8:

  • Questions submitted by November 8 will appear on the fall evaluations

  • Questions submitted after November 8 will appear on the spring evaluations

Important: Custom questions can be attached to courses, subjects, departments or instructor roles (e.g., primary, secondary, TA), but not to sections or instructors.

In other words, only submit questions that you plan to use for multiple sections, classes or semesters. For example, if you would like to add custom questions to DCBA-1000, those questions will be asked in each section of DCBA-1000. They can't be restricted to section 002 only.

One-time use questions, or instructor-specific questions, will not be accepted.

Custom questions will rollover each semester until the department requests they be discontinued.

Please submit custom questions to fcq@colorado.edu.
