Survey Intelligence (SI) Report - For Faculty : Course Evaluations

The purpose of this document is to guide faculty users through the process of creating Survey Intelligence Reports. SI reports are created using a 7-step set-up that allows for various filtering, aggregating, ordering, layout/display options, and saving/publishing features. It is recommended that users have a clear goal in mind when designing reports so they can enjoy the feature’s full potential.

Questions

If duplicate questions show in the list, choose them all. CoursEval will combine “duplicate” looking questions on the final report so they all show in one neat column.

Aggregations

Use the mover to select the items to appear in the report. The order on the right is the order items will be sorted on the report.
NOTE - If you don't have access to people based questions the Evaluated Individual aggregation will not work for you.

Report Options a.k.a. Report Layout

Set the report, select the sections to appear, choose the options.
Do the questions have many scales? Should the data be combined into a single score? If yes, choose the overall score scale to level the scores.
Try all of the options to get the report that is needed.

Run

Reports can be run before saving the design... Saving the design is optional! In fact, if no changes were made to an existing design there is no need to save at all.
