[Classclimate-users] Class Climate rules

[Grenert, Joseph]

CHSP has been requiring a minimum of 5 students per class in order to evaluate it. But we'd be willing to go with COE's minimum of 4, if that would help reach a consensus.

Classclimate users,

In reference to Jay's note below, I'd like to know what other people think.  One unique problem with electronic surveys is that the smaller the sample set, the greater the risk that the results will not be very anonymous.  Either because there are only 2 or 3 people in the class total or only one or 2 people will fill it out and the instructor will know who they were from reminding people in class, etc.  Because of that, our college has always omitted tiny classes.  Right now, our cutoff is a minimum of 4 students, below that we don't do the survey.

What do other people think?  Could we come to an agreement on a minimum and have OIT take care of it for us all?  The alternative is that each college/department would have to remove the small classes from the data load by hand.

Replies back to the list, please...

Shawn

Shawn,

We met yesterday regarding class climate loads.  One of the issues we discussed was brought to our attention by Jill Bateman.  She indicated that the College of Engineering does not want classes with less than four students to be loaded.  While we can do that, we have to do it campus wide.  Therefore, I am asking if you could get agreement on this.  Whatever the minimum enrollment number is, it will be for everybody, so if everybody agrees on it we will put it in.

Jay
