      Welcome
      to
      the
      first
      annual
      Panther
      Prints
      Alternative
      Calendar
      Survey!
      The
      results
      are
      in,
      the
      numbers
      have
      been
      tallied
      and
      the
      answers
      speak
     
     
      for
      themselves.
      The
      numbers
      may
      seem
      small,
      but
      we
      still
      feel
      that
      the
      results
      are
      a
      good
      overall
      view
      of
      students
      opinions
      on
      the
      courses
      they
      take
     
     
      and
      the
      professors
      they
      take
      them
      from.
      You
      might
      disagree
      with
      the
      results,
      and
      if
      you
      do,
      maybe
      you
      should
      have
      filled
      out
      a
      survey.
     
    

    
     
      The
      courses
      are
      listed
      just
      like
      in
      the
      UPEI
      Calendar,
      from
      100
      level
      going
      up
      to
      400
      and
      500
      level
      courses
      but
      going
      top
      to
      bottom,
      not
      right
      to
     
     
      lett.
      If
      you
      have
      any
      questions
      about
      the
      survey
      please
      contact
      the
      Panther
      Prints
      office,
      we
      would
      be
      more
      than
      happy
      to
      explain
      how
      our
      survey
      is
     
     
      put
      together.
      The
      answers
      you
      see
      have
      been
      submitted
      by
      UPEI
      students
      from
      all
      different
      faculties
      and
      courses.
     
    

    
     
      The
      purpose
      of
      this
      survey
      is
      to:help
      guide
      students
      towards
      courses
      they
      will
      enjoy,
      and
      away
      from
      courses
      they
      may
      not.
      We
      encourage
      you
     
     
      to
      use
      this
      when
      registering
      for
      courses
      next
      fall.
      The
      idea
      is
      from
      the
      University
      of
      British
      Columbia's
      pubication
      "The
      Yardstick".
      We
      thank
      them
     
    
   
   
    
     
      for
      the
      inspiration
      and
      some
      of
      the
      questions.
      ;
     
     
      We
      admit
      that
      we
      are
      only
      human
      and
      that
      there
      may
      be
      errors
      in
      the
      data
      collected
      but
      every
      step
      was
      taken
      to
      ensure
      accurate
      data.
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Your
      Guide
      to
      how
      the
     
     
      Survey
      Works
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
       
     
    
   
   
    
     
      The
      stats
      for
      each
      course
      are
      listed
      in
      a
      vertical
      strip.
      To
      find
      the
      rating
      for
      the
      course,
      just
      trace
      a
      line
      from
      the
      question
      to
      the
      appropriate
      number.
      For
     
     
      the
      example
      above
      we
      see
      that
      E.
      Bunny
      is
      teaching
      Basket
      Weaving
      101.
      The
      five
      numbers
      below
      are
      the
      average
      of
      the
      results
      from
      the
      course
      evaluation
     
     
      forms
      UPEI
      students
      filled
      out.
      The
      numbers
      range
      from
      1
      (poor)
      to
      5
      (excellent)
      and
      their
      percentile
      equivilants
      are
      displayed
      in
      the
      scale
      above.
      For
      example:
     
    
   
   
    
     
      For
      Question
      1,
      the
      student's
      average
      response
      was
      2.8
      which
      works
      out
      to
      45%.
     
     
      For
      Question
      2,
      the
      class’s
      average
      rating
      was
      3.4
      or
      about
      60%.
     
    

    
     
      For
      Question
      3,
      _
      the
      student’s
      average
      response
      was
      4.2
      or
      about
      80%.
     
    

    
     
      For
      Question
      4.
      the
      student's
      average
      response
      was
      5.0
      or
      about
      100%.
     
    

    
     
      For
      Question
      5,
      _
      the
      student’s
      average
      response
      was
      4.3
      or
      about
      83%.
     
    

    
     
      And
      five
      out
      of
      the
      twenty
      students
      enrolled
      in
      the
      course
      responded
      to
      the
      survey.
     
    
   
   
    
     
      Obviously
      the
      course
      Basket
      Weaving
      101
      is
      fictitious,
      as
      is
      the
      professor
      E.
      Bunny.
