The "Student Course Evaluation Metric Trend Analysis" is one of several reports used to compile and analyze students responses to course evaluations. This document explains how to navigate the report options, and how to run and read the resulting report.
Every HelioCampus AC Course Evaluation report has a panel of report parameters similar to the one shown below. The key parameters, and their behavior are outlined here:
Term
Select the semester to be reported.
You can select multiple semesters.
College
Options defined by your HelioCampus AC user account.
Department
Options defined by your HelioCampus AC user account.
Course
This field may be left blank to show all courses in the report.
It may appear empty, but begin typing the course name to trigger the filter.
Select from courses that were available during that semester.
You can select multiple courses or leave blank for all courses.
Instructor
This field may be left blank to show all instructors in the report.
It field may appear empty, but begin typing the instructor's name to trigger the filter.
Student Course Evaluation
You must select a survey, even if only one survey is listed.
Completed Surveys Only
If any surveys are in Pending Results, the data will only be included if unchecked. However, most reports are created after the semester is done and all surveys are complete so leaving it checked is fine.
Aggregate Level
Two options: Course or Course Section
HelioCampus AC will compile responses at either level.
Reset Parameters
Resets all parameters back to default values (useful when you have made several attempts).
Since multiple fields allow you to select multiple items, "resetting" parameters quickly erases all selected options.
Run Report
This may take several seconds or minutes to complete, depending on quantity of data.
The page will load with a new view. (See Report Details below.)
Report Details
This report is broken out into course sections. The metrics are displayed per section, along with the response rate.
