Student Evaluation of Instruction: Instructor Reports

There are two types of numeric SEI reports available to instructors:

1. SEI Class Report

• gives a detailed account of students' evaluation ratings for a single class
• includes detailed comparison group information for all 10 numeric SEI items
• comparison groups are based on the size of the class and the predominant reason students enrolled in the course
• includes a graph of the distribution of average ratings on item 10 (the "overall" rating)
• help understanding the report is given in the SEI Handbook
• reports based on fewer than 5 student responses, or reports for classes taught before Summer 2009, are available only by contacting seiadmin@osu.edu
• sample class report (pdf)

2. SEI Cumulative Report

• lists the means and standard deviations of all 10 numeric SEI items
• shows the item 10 "overall" rating for the appropriate comparison group, but no other comparison data
• does not include an average ratings distribution graph
• includes all classes taught by the instructor since 1994, EXCEPT those receiving fewer than 5 student responses
• email seiadmin@osu.edu to obtain only recent SEI history in the cumulative report or to include classes with fewer than 5 student responses
• sample cumulative report (pdf)

How to obtain a report if you are an instructor

Note that SEI reports open in a separate window (or tab in the browser, depending on your browser settings).  You may need to turn off the pop-up blocker on your browser.  All SEI reports are pdfs that can be printed or saved. Only instructors can access SEI reports online. Click here to see instructions with screenshots (pdf, pages 4 - 7).

1. Go to the Faculty/Staff tab of Buckeye Link: http://www.buckeyelink.osu.edu/facultystaff.html

2. Click on the Faculty Center link and log in using your OSU username and password.

3. This will take you to the most recent quarter you taught, usually the current quarter.

4. Click on the Change Term button; select the term for which you wish a report, and click Continue.

5. Click on the SEI Info button that appears next to your course.

6. Scroll down to the SEI Reports section, click on Generate New SEI Class Report, and wait for the page to refresh until the report is generated.

7. Once the report is generated, click on View Existing Class Report to see the SEI report. Reports you previously generated remain available for you to view, print, or download for two weeks. You can generate a fresh copy of the report at any time.

8. Click on Generate New SEI Cumulative Report to create your cumulative SEI summary report. As with the class report, if you generate a cumulative report, it remains available for two weeks before you would need to generate it again.
