The Progress on Relevant Objectives page shows detailed feedback for each learning objective chosen as Important or Essential in the course.
How does the rating compare to others? The Your Average Comparison score compares the course relative to the overall mean in the comparison group by telling you if your score is in the bottom 10%, lower 20%, middle 40%, higher 20%, and top 10% of scores in the data set depending on the values of the population mean and standard deviation. The comparison score converts the raw mean score for a class to a scale having a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 10.
The E or I by each tells you if the objective was designated as Essential or Important.
One of the best ways to infer teaching effectiveness is to examine student ratings of progress on relevant objectives that have been chosen as Important or Essential. The average of these ratings provides a good indication of how successfully objectives were reached in the course. Consider the ratings in each course report as well as ratings over time. See the Formative tab for suggestions about which Teaching Methods you might consider using more to improve progress on your chosen Learning Objectives.
