Questionnaire count is the number of individual student responses to each form OMS processed. Group count is the number of distinct summary reports that were sent to instructors. Course count is the number of identifiable courses that were evaluated. This is less than the Group count because co-taught or multiple sections could result in more than one report being required for the course. Unit count is the number of departmental units that using SET services at OMS. Because of duplication across forms, course and unit totals are not sum able. When comparing totals please note that some units were still using the Student Opinion Survey for Fall 1993 and that beginning in the 1999-2000 school year the University transitioned from quarter terms into a semester system.
