Strategic Planning Overview:

This report provides the best summary of the results for immediate action planning. It lists strengths (high importance and high satisfaction) and challenges (high importance and low satisfaction and/or large performance gap) for the first column of data in the report. It also compares the first column of data to the second column of data and identifies where satisfaction levels are significantly higher or lower, as well as any large differences in importance scores.

For the strengths and challenges, additional indicators are also included. These indicators allow users to easily see if the item is significantly higher in satisfaction (reflected with a plus sign for significantly greater) or if the item is significantly lower in satisfaction (shown with a minus sign for significantly less) as compared with the comparison group.

Item Report

This report provides the detailed scores for all items on the survey, including campus-defined items that may have chosen to include. Users have the option to sort on any of the columns on this screen by simply selecting the column they want to sort on. The first selection will sort in descending order and the second selection will sort in ascending order. Indicators are included in this report with a green star for items that are strengths or a red flag for items that are challenges, as originally listed in the Strategic Planning Overview.

The SD in the Satisfaction column refers to the standard deviation. This is the amount of variability in the responses.

The far right mean difference column reflects the column one satisfaction score minus the column two satisfaction score. The asterisks in this mean difference column indicate statistical significance. The key is as follows:

* Difference statistically significant at the .05 level

** Difference statistically significant at the .01 level

*** Difference statistically significant at the .001 level

When the second column of data is a national comparison group, the number of student records included in the group is reported at the bottom of the item report. This number also appears at the bottom of the scale report.

Scale Report

This report provides a top line overview of the results and shows the items clustered within the scales or categories on the survey. Collapse and expand by selecting the arrow to the left of the desired scale to see the items within each scale. Users can also choose to expand/toggle all scales at one time. Users may sort on the scale name, importance, satisfaction, performance gap, and mean difference columns as outlined above.

Indicators are included in this report with a green star for items that are strengths or a red flag for items that are challenges.

Summary Report

The summary report includes the average score for the responses to the summary items on the survey, as well as the percentage of responses for each of the possible indications. The percentages are truncated rather than rounded, so they may not equal 100 percent. These scores provide a bottom line on the experience at the institution.

Item Percentage Report

This report provides a look at the percentage of responses that indicated an answer of 6 or 7 to the items in the survey: 6 is considered "important" or "satisfied" and 7 is considered "very important" or "very satisfied." The gap percentage equals the importance percentage minus the satisfaction percentage. The difference column provides the difference between the first column satisfaction percentage and the second column satisfaction percentage for each item. Users may sort on any of the columns, as described above. The percentage responses may be better understood on the campus than the average scores reported in the other segments of the results.

Indicators are included in this report with a green star for items that are strengths or a red flag for items that are challenges.

Demographic Report

This report provides the overview of the individuals who completed the survey. Users can collapse and expand individual demographic populations by selecting the arrow to the left of the desired demographic category. Users also have the option to expand all/toggle all demographic categories at the same time. A gold burst indicates the response option that was selected by the majority of survey participants.

Note: The demographic segment is not included with all of the target group reports.

All these reports were produced by Ruffalo Noel-Levitz and published online by OIRA on 6-16-2020.
