This function is a footer option in the Evaluation Reports.  It will allow a campus to define which items in the scales used that are considered positive and also the percentage of positive responses that is acceptable. This is a unique approach to analyzing how well a course is doing. 


It will show:

  1. Overall for the course (combines course and people-based questions)
  2. Comparisons across the hierarchy
  3. Summary for course vs people-based questions
  4. Details for each question for the course and each evaluated individual
  5. Security is in place for team taught courses to only show responses that are configured for report viewer's role
  6. The label for "Course" is localized where applicable


In the function below:

  • 5 is the scale
  • 4 represents the minimum response that is considered to be positive (for a 5-point scale, 4's and 5's may be considered as positive). For a 4-point scale, set this to 3 OR set it to 5 for a 7-point scale.
  • 65 represents the minimum acceptable PPR (65% positive, in this example). Choose the percentage setting that makes sense for your institution.  A PPR below the percentage will appear in red, and at or above the percentage will appear in green. 
  • 1 turns the hierarchy comparisons on, 0 turns the hierarchy comparisons off.
  • The "lcRefid" and "This" reference must be left as-is. 


Note: Only questions that are marked to be included in the Survey Intelligence report in the Survey Display Options will be included here. This will help to eliminate questions that are not necessarily able to be aggregated or that do not make sense to be included. 


In the screen shot below the course question, "Rate the challenge level of this course", may not be the best option to include here because it is not an answer set that aggregates well.
