Sections of the Report Overall Indicator Section: Four primary indicators, 1) Course Average, 2) Instructor Average, 3) Course Global, and 4) Instructor Global, summarize the rating scale responses. For each indicator, your average is depicted on the horizontal bar. Your average (av.) is presented again to the right of the bar, along with the standard deviation (dev.) for your class.

To the right are your and the university’s averages (av.) and standard deviations (dev.) for each indicator. Profile Line for Individual Items: This graph allows you to compare your individual item average to the corresponding university average for that item. Your average ratings are connected by a line; the university average ratings are connected by a different line, as described in the report. To the right are your and the university’s statistics in numeric form (i.e., n=number of students who responded; av. = average). Comments Report: These list students’ written or typed responses to the course and instructor open-ended questions. Both questions ask students to provide their perspective about the positive aspects of the course or instructor, respectively, as well as to provide suggestions for improvements. |
