Instructor Reports
To view your reports, click the PDF and/or Excel icon under the heading "Ratings, Comments, Responses and Instructor Report". Each course will show both eSET and SLE reports (instructions for reading the reports).
Department or College Reports

- Report Browser - allows you to view and/or pull individual instructor reports, or to selectively view or batch reports by instructor, course, or department.
- Raw Data - can be provided via request to [email protected] for a single department or college. It does not include student comments. The format is XML, which allows easy import into Excel or other programs.

Institutional Overview

Reports availability during the pandemic
Administrative reports are not available for terms designated by the Faculty Senate and Provost’s office as blocked for COVID-19 accommodations, specifically AY 2020-21 (including Summer 2020, Fall 2020, Winter 2021, Spring 2021), Summer 2021, Fall 2021, and Winter 2022. For cumulative data reports, not specified by individual instructor, please contact [email protected]. Instructors can always view their reports for all courses surveyed or evaluated through their individual SLE portal.
Median Calculation
The median is the value on the score scale that separates the top half of the group from the bottom half. OSU uses a calculation that assumes that multiple values within a range are distributed evenly over the range. A calculation of this type results in a more complete set of values. (The traditional computation of median might result in values of 5.0, 5.5, 6.0. The OSU calculation results in values 5.0, 5.1, 5.2, and so on to 6.0). This calculation has been used for OSU student evaluations since 2004.
