Instructor-specific 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.

The Cumulative Report (pdf) contains responses for all classes from Summer Term 2018 and later.

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

  1. Mean scores for each question for each class in order by term.
  2. Number of responses, class size, and university comparisons by class size.

For classes prior to Summer Term 2018, cumulative reports are still available in the Faculty Center. See SEI Reports for prior terms below.
