Student Evaluation of Instruction Final Report
Spring 2012 Pilot Outcome • 292 class sections (from various departments that participated: Econ, Math, Psych, Sociology, etc.) • 5,016 students • 9,710 evaluations were sent out and 6,855 were submitted by students (~71% response rate)
SEI Reports Format • Similar to the original format • Same scoring method (fractional median). • Reports are broken down by • Instructor/class/section • Ranked faculty aggregate • IAS aggregate • Department overall • PDF format • Departments can choose to email or print

What the student will see after clicking on an individual course
Setup & Administration • The standard set of six questions approved by Faculty Senate is fixed for all questionnaires.
Setup & Administration • Additional “evaluation” templates can be created. • Department chairs can create a questionnaire that incorporates the standard questions + additional questions defined by the department.
Setup & Administration • Adding a question to the repository • Supported question types: • 5 point rating (Strongly Agree Strongly Disagree) • Open ended • Multiple Choice
Setup & Administration • The standard SEI will automatically be generated for each course. • Chairs will be able to assign a different questionnaire template • If the department has additional questions they ask of each class • If the department has a subsection of classes that receive a different questionnaire (e.g., lab courses) • Chairs may also remove the SEI from courses that should not be assessed (e.g. independent studies).
Moving Forward • ITS needs a documented guideline that will outline how often the SEI data should be purged from the university system • ITS will need to have an SEI user group possibly made up of ADAs and Department Chairs : • Ongoing training and knowledge sharing • Works with ITS to improve the SEI system, if needed
