Dear ,

The UH Course And Faculty Evaluation (eCAFE) system is now up and running. Please visit http://www.hawaii.edu/ecafe to login and setup your department surveys. You have until Friday, February 15th before the staff setup period closes. After the 15th, you will be unable to make any further changes.

Once you log in, you will see several buttons that guide you through the setup process.

1) Edit faculty survey: Go here to set the questions that will appear on all surveys for your department's faculty members. You can add and remove questions and set the order that the questions appear in. If your department has set up a survey during our previous pilot test, you can click the "Clone" button next to the past survey to copy any of those questions into your current survey.

2) Update settings: This button takes you to a page where you have two actions. First, you set whether or not you want to allow your department's faculty members to add their own questions to the survey, in addition to the ones you personally selected. Second, you can select which faculty members have mandatory surveys, and for which faculty the surveys are optional. Please make sure ALL instructors who are teaching in your department are listed on this page. If any are omitted, please let us know as any instructor not listed on the page will not receive a survey.

3) Override concurrent courses: From here, you can select a TA as the primary instructor of a concurrent course.

Thank you again for volunteering to participate in the eCAFE pilot test. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us by email or phone ().

Mahalo,
