Summary of Course and Instructor Ratings

Notes on interpretation: For Skill and Rapport items in which higher scores are desired, a rating of about 3.7-3.9 means that your students consider you adequate on that behavior, 4.0-4.1 is good, and 4.2 and above is considered very good to excellent. In addition, Difficulty items usually have high variability in responses and means in the middle of the 5-pt. scale. Some items are typically rated lower than others. For example, items #23 and #24 typically receive lower scores than the other items, especially on the initial rating during the semester. From Time 1 to Time 2, items that change .3 or more are considered noteworthy. Smaller changes should not be interpreted.
