Using the Response Rate Monitor Dashboard
This article provides an overview of the features available to instructors on their response rate monitor dashboard in Blue.
The dashboard contains an instructor’s response rate data since Boise State University began using Blue in Fall 2022.
New instructors or instructors who have never delivered a course requiring evaluations may not have access to the response rate monitor dashboard.
