Each person is invited on their own, when the moment happens (suggested: midway through the term). Include everyone it applies to, not a sample. Results show once a group has at least 5 responses, so they build up over several weeks.

Before you start
Who to invite, and what to have ready.
- Your student roster: upload a CSV with each student's email and name.
- An event feed: your system tells Ranx when the event happens, using a key you create in Ranx. Past events can be sent in bulk, up to 500 at a time.
- One owner for the program, plus a colleague invited as a second admin, so it never depends on one person.
- A short note to your students saying why you're asking and when they'll hear what changes.
