Curious about how your students are reacting to your course? Canvas provides a straightforward way to explore their valuable feedback from the midcourse surveys. For CCAPS courses, these "Course Feedback" surveys are typically embedded in Modules 3 and 7. This tutorial will guide you through the process of accessing and downloading student responses for deeper analysis.
Note: These surveys are a functionality of Canvas Classic Quizzes. There is no survey functionality in Canvas New Quizzes as of Summer 2025. This is important to note if Canvas Classic Quizzes support is ended by Instructure (company that created and updates Canvas).
