Overview
Within 4-6 weeks of the final CIS deadline, student ratings from all courses and questionnaires are converted into numerical scores (with “1” generally representing “Strongly Disagree,” and “5” generally representing “Strongly Agree), are averaged and compiled into reports for each course, and then published online in two places: On our Public Results Site as well as on a Restricted Results Site.
Public Results Site
The Public Results site only contains ratings for Questions 10 and 11 (“Overall, this instructor was…” and “Overall, this course was…”), for all instructors who were evaluated, as well as the average ratings for all courses within its department and school/college.
Restricted Results Site
The Restricted CIS Results Site is only accessible to those with an active EID (i.e., Current UT Austin students, staff, and faculty) and may be used to view ratings for all Core 12 questions.
Exceptions
To preserve the anonymity of students, ratings are only published online, both on the Restricted CIS Results Site as well as the Public Site, if they meet the following criteria:
- The survey received at least five (5) responses,
- At least twenty percent (20%) of the total enrolled student population responded to the survey, AND
- The course was evaluated using a standard form designed for instructors. (i.e.: Results for Teaching Assistants are never published online unless they served as the official instructor-of-record)
