How to use the data gathered on a Blackboard survey for a module questionnaire and represent answers as scores not percentages.
The School of Biological Sciences standard end of module questionnaire is available as a blackboard survey which can be customised for your course. Contact Jo Badge to get a copy for your course.
Once the module has ended and the survey has been completed by as many students as possible, you can access the data via the gradebook.
CONTROL PANEL> GRADEBOOK
You will see a column for the module questionnaire (subtitled ’survey’). A green tick will appear for every student that has completed the questionnaire and submitted it. A padlock icon indicates that the student has looked at, but not completed the questionnaire. You will not be able to retrieve partial data from these attempts, so contact the students and ask them to finish the survey.
Click on heading for the column for the module questionnaire (subtitled ’survey’), then choose ‘ASSESSMENT ATTEMPT DETAILS’. This will show you how many students answered the survey and give percentage scores for each answer.
