The Instructor Means Report allows CES and Node Administrators to view aggregated mean scores for courses and instructors based on selected questions. This report can be run for one project or across multiple projects.
Important Considerations:
- Data for the Instructor Means Report is generated after the project has ended or the survey access end date has passed. After the end date has passed, Course Evaluation & Surveys (CES) begins to build the data for the report at Midnight Central Time and will then be made available once it has been built. For this reason, we recommend waiting one day after the end date has passed before running the report in order to allow the system to build the data for the report overnight.
- Instructor Means Reporting will only calculate Likert scale-type questions on the project's Main Survey. Questions on Targeted and Custom Question Surveys are not available in Instructor Means Reporting.
Note: We have updated the user interface since the creation of the video. However, the information in the video remains relevant, and this article provides more information about the feature.
