Overall summative statements include the following (response options include a Likert scale ranging from 5 = Excellent, 3 = Good, and 1= Very poor):
- The course as a whole was
- The course content was
- The instructor’s contribution to the course was
- The instructor’s effectiveness in teaching the subject matter was
Challenge and Engagement Index:
This rating combines student responses to several SPOT items relating to how academically challenging students found the course to be and how engaged they were. Challenge and Engagement Index items include the following (response options include a Likert scale ranging from 7 = Much higher, 4 = Average, and 1 = Much lower):
- Do you expect your grade in this course to be
- The intellectual challenge presented was
- The amount of effort you put into this course was
- The amount of effort to succeed in this course was
- Your involvement in course (doing assignments, attending classes, etc.) was
