September 21, 216 Dear Colleague: The Office of Assessment has processed the 2-216 Course/Instructor Opinion Survey (CIOS) results for the Institute. For 69 academic terms (39 quarters and 3 semesters excluding summer sessions), the Institute has been collecting data and reporting descriptive statistics that provide a basis for interpreting individual ratings. The original survey was designed in 1986 and consisted of 26 questions, later reduced to 24 by eliminating questions about students gender and ethnicity. In Fall 211, a streamlined CIOS was implemented, which was designed by representatives of faculty, students, and administration. This new version reduced the number of core questions from 24 to and eliminated cluster scores. In Summer 211, representatives of faculty, students, and administration again met to assess the survey and revised it to better reflect the literature on survey design and to improve the quality of feedback for instructors. The following report focuses on survey Item : Considering everything, the instructor was an effective teacher. This question has been maintained in the same form throughout all versions of CIOS. To provide the most meaningful comparisons with individual scores, statistics are reported for each term in the academic year and with cumulative results since Fall 21. This format enables faculty to compare their scores with distributions for specific semesters and for multi-year periods. Central tendencies and distributions of the question are reported by class size category and by college, as well as for the entire Institute. Experience and general research confirm that class size is a primary variable explaining significant differences in ratings. The following notation may help you interpret the report: N is the number of classes in a particular population frame. Median is the middle value of an ordered array of classes interpolated median scores. Columns Cut 1, Cut 2, Cut 3, and Cut 4 indicate the quintile values (2th, 4th, 6th, and 8th percentiles) in the distribution. These values are also drawn on the accompanying charts for the cumulative distribution. Values range from 1 to, where 1 is strongly disagree and is strongly agree. We trust that these data are helpful to you.
