Academic Year 2020-21 reports are not available

Administrative reports are not available for terms designated by the Faculty Senate and Provost’s office as blocked for COVID-19 accommodations, specifically AY 2020-21 (including Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021, Spring 2021). This has been expanded to Summer 2021, Fall 2021, and Winter 2022. For cumulative data reports, not specified by individual instructor, please contact Curriculum Management. Instructors can always view their reports for all courses surveyed or evaluated through their individual SLE portal.

Median Calculation

The median is the value on the score scale that separates the top half of the group from the bottom half. OSU uses a calculation that assumes that multiple values within a range are distributed evenly over the range.  A calculation of this type results in a more complete set of values.  (The traditional computation of median might result in values of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0.  The OSU calculation results in values 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and so on to 6.0). This calculation has been used for OSU student evaluations since 2004.
