Introduction to the Course Section Report 

Anthology Course Evaluation Managers and Instructors may now access the new Course Section Report (CSR) in the Reports menu of their Manager or Response Portal. The Course Section Report is a new report offering robust response data in a clear, effective, and insightful way for instructors. The Course Section Report is an alternative report option to the Evaluation Report.  



Instructor users will enjoy: 

  • A modern interface with improved readability of response data.  
  • Response breakdown which showcases response count and frequency distribution. 
    • Includes key statistics such as mean, median, and standard deviation.  
    • Frequency charts give a snapshot view of response data and visually emphasize mode scores.
  • Comparisons vs. department, division, and entire survey period.  
    • Comparison graph and data can be manually toggled into view and are automatically included when printing. 
    • Compares against mean and percentile rank.  
  • Bulk Print/Save as PDF capabilities. 



How the Course Section Report Differs from the Evaluation Report 

The Anthology Course Evaluation product team worked with many of our users to develop the Course Section Report (CSR) as a new report offering. The CSR is a streamlined report aimed at providing an improved instructor experience. Based on our research and instructors' feedback, we have included key features and statistics to provide a simple, effective, and appealing report option. This report does not offer the ability to modify these core options.   


It is important to recognize the core differences between the Course Section Report from other report offerings to determine if it is the best default report for your institution.  


The following features are not included in the Course Section Report:  

  • Results Feedback (Allow instructors and authorized users to leave feedback within the report).  
  • Magnifying Glass (The ability to inspect how a single participant responded to each question).  
  • Overall mean by response set.  
  • Comment editing is not available directly within the Course Section Report; however, edits can be made by CE Administrators. Please refer to the Comment Editing Support Documentation for steps to edit inappropriate comments.
