Assigning An Evaluator

In some situations, evaluators are assigned automatically based upon previously established rules. This page has been developed to assist you with manually assigning student performance evaluations.

Please email dgsomsao@mednet.ucla.edu, if you need any assistance.

If anything in this overview can be improved upon, please email us with your suggestions.

These instructions are provided to cover the majority of instances in MyCourses. Your course may have additional requirements that are not covered in this guide.

  • Assumption 1: You have already selected the course and year that you want to add evaluations.
  • Assumption 2: You have navigated to the Manage Evaluators page (Course > Evaluations >  Manage Evaluators).
