How do departments and programs differ on student generated ratings?
On a scale from 1 (poor) to 5 (best), for questions about ‘recommending’ the course and instructor, department means ranged from 3.4 to 5.0 in this semester sample. Note that departments and programs with just a few evaluated sections (marked with *) tend to be rated very highly; all departments are rated ‘above average’; and departments with a high percentage of enrollments in beginning courses, several large enrollment sections, and more required courses, are more likely to receive lower overall mean ratings.
