Survey Manager FAQ
Why are course sections not part of a course evaluation?
In order for course sections to be created for courses, the courses must be published first; if the course sections are provided via data files, then they will be created after the nightly import occurs. Once course sections exist, they need to be associated with the include group for the survey. Learn more about include and exclude groups.
