Student Evaluation of Instruction (SEI) Reports

The SEI Overview Report (pdf) is a one-page summary of your class that includes a Frequency Analysis and a Score Analysis comparing your scores to the department, and to same-size classes in your college and the university.

The SEI All Overview Reports contain all of your one-page Overview Reports in a single report. Due to system limitations, there is one report for all regular/standard classes and one report for Combined classes.

These reports should be used for Promotion and Tenure dossier, section IVB. 

The SEI Class Detail Report (pdf) is a multi-page report that includes information from the overview report along with additional data:

1. Response rate
2. Frequency analysis: All SEI questions, grouped by key elements of teaching.
3. Score analysis:
   • Bar graph display of your responses compared to the department, and to same size classes in your college and the university.
   • Table containing the same comparisons including standard deviations.
4. Enrollment Reason: A breakdown of why students enrolled in this class. 
5. Comments: if enabled.

Note: comments are retained for one year and will be deleted from reports at that time. Please save local copies of reports with comments if permanent access to comments is desired.

This report should be used for Promotion and Tenure dossier, section IVA.
