Each faculty member receives a copy of the report for his or her home department. For example, if four sections of BIOL 101 were offered during fall 2000 by two faculty members then this report would show the combined responses for students across the four sections combined, regardless of instructor. Each faculty member teaching a multi-section course receives a copy of Printout 5 for that course. Printout 5 allows an instructor to compare how his or her student ratings compare to the ratings received in all sections of that course. Again, the format is the same as for Printout 1.
All faculty receive a copy of the reports for all course levels.
As such, each instructor receives only one Printout 7 regardless of how many sections he or she taught that semester. The format of Printout 7 differs markedly from that of Printouts 1-6. For each question, the average, standard deviation, and number are shown for different comparison groups. Instructors interested in comparing their results to benchmarks may use the averages listed for the College, Division, Department, or Peer Group or they may use the Quintile for a more global reading of their ranking relative to other College instructors on a particular question. Each faculty member receives one Printout 7 combining the responses from all the students they taught that semester.
