Longitudinal report key

Here is information to help you interpret longitudinal report results.

Q1. How would you rate this course?

Mean of Q1 = The average of all student responses
Median of Q1 = The middle number of the student responses in Q1 when arranged in ascending order

Q2. How much have you learned in this course?

Mean of Q2 = The average of all student responses
Median of Q2 = The middle number of the student responses in Q2 when arranged in ascending order

Q24. How would you rate the instructor's teaching in this course?

Mean of Q24 = The average of all student responses
Median of Q24 = The middle number of the student responses in Q24 when arranged in ascending order

Mean Sum = The total values of the means of Q1, Q2, Q24

Department Mean Sum = This value is also provided in the Chair's Summary Report in the field Peer Sum Q1,2,24

It is the sum of the means of the three bargaining items for the instructor's bargaining peers (GTA, Part-Time Faculty and Full-Time Faculty). If this section is N/A then the instructor was not part of a bargaining group which uses SET data in personnel decisions.

SPA (Student Profile A) = Before enrolling I had an interest in the subject matter of this course.

SPB (Student Profile B) = I wanted to take this course.

SPB Mean = The average of all student responses for all SPB SP Mean Sum = SPA Mean + SPB Mean

Department SP Mean Sum = The Average (SP Mean Sum) of all course sections taught in the department.
