Comparable data packets
Consistent headings, definitions, and response bases make different sources easier to read.
FEEDBACK INTELLIGENCE ENGINE
From student feedback
to shared decisions.
Bring survey results, student comments, and enrollment trends into clear Excel packets your team can read, discuss, and act on together.
A project by David Dysart.
MAKE FEEDBACK USEFUL
A clearer read.
A shared next step.
A common structure for scattered exports, survey summaries, and comment files.
Student feedback in context
Comment themes sit beside the numbers, with missing answers and interpretation limits in view.
A shared place to plan
Record an issue, propose a change, identify collaborators, and decide how to check progress.
Different sources. A familiar way in.
- Decision surveys
- Event feedback
- Event and program trends
- Open response feedback
Each packet keeps its own population, questions, and reporting period explicit.
