CES Dashboard - Academic Unit View

The Academic Unit View in the CES Dashboard provides an overview of the average scores and frequencies for the Common Core CES questions and Discipline questions for both the academic unit, faculty and university. These statistics can also be accessed for courses in your academic unit.

Please note:

  • Data is available from Fall 2022 onward (from the beginning of the CES program).
  • You can only access the results for your academic unit. Please reach out to us at cesurvey@sfu.ca with login or data access issues.
  • We will add more functionality and filtering capabilities as the dashboard continues to be developed. At present:
    • Only multiple-choice responses are displayed
    • You can select up to three semesters or academic years to compare
    • Filters for graduate courses, undergraduate courses, lower division and upper division courses are available

Access to this dashboard is typically granted to Chairs, Associate Chairs, Deans, Associate Deans, Chairs/Leaders of committees, and Program Assistants. If you need access to these reports, please request access by contacting the department or school’s Managers of Academic and Administrative Services.

Explanation of terms used in the dashboard

  • Response rate: This is calculated based on the number of students taking the survey among the students enrolled in the course. Learn more about response rates here.
  • Mean score: Summarizes the overall (or average) response to the question and is computed based on the scores assigned to response options.
  • Standard deviation: Describes the degree of variation in responses. A smaller standard deviation indicates consistent responses (i.e., most students selected the same response options), while a larger standard deviation indicates a wider range of responses.
  • Mean scores among units at the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentile: Only available when comparing against the university, these are the 25th, 50th, and 75th percentiles mean scores among the academic units that participated in CES for each semester; they summarize how mean scores are distributed across units by providing the lower, middle, and upper end of the distribution.
