Summarizing the Course Evaluation Survey (CES) Data

Q: If I have surveys from both eCAFE and CES and the questions are not the same, how do I summarize them?

A: CES questions changed as of Fall 2019.

  • If your dossier spans Fall 2019 and after, use the current CES questions for data analysis rather than factors.

  • If your dossier spans a period that started prior to Fall 2019, consider using factors similar to the table in CES Questions vs. Factors. You can determine your own factors and their relationship to the survey questions.

  • If you have department-, program-, and/or faculty-level questions, you may be able to categorize them into factors.

  • The correlations between factors and CES questions in the table of the linked document are just recommendations. Please consult your mentor and/or your department chair for final determinations.

Q: How much of the CES data do I need to include?

A: Summarize by the courses taught each semester. You don't need to break down to the CRN level.

Q: Do the CES tables and graphs go in the narrative or the appendix?

A: We recommend including most of the detailed data and graphs in the appendix. However, embedding one or two overall summary or interesting table/graph in the narrative to support your analysis of teaching effectiveness could be powerful.

Q: Can you show me how to use Excel or Google Spreadsheet to summarize my CES data?

A: Here is a sample (make a copy). Please make an appointment with Helen at htorigoe@hawaii.edu.
