Results of Student Evaluations

Following are numbers of responses by students in various classes to the global rating question, where the possible responses are poor, fair, satisfactory, good or excellent or the equivalent. Neither the global question nor the possible responses are the same on the various questionaires which have been used at AUM. On the questionaire currently used the global rating question is: "Overall, I would rate the quality of instruction as ..." The distribution is based on ratings by 1371 students. These data are now approaching 10 years old. The data are no longer computed in such a way as to allow continuation of this format.

Excellent 435
Good 503
