the format and composition of the HET is described
with special attention paid to its branching scale design. Following this
the procedure for the study is outlined
and planned interpretations of the data are discussed. The Purdue ICaP SET The SET employed by Introductory Composition at Purdue (ICaP) program as of January 2019 serves as an example of many of the prevailing trends in current SET administration. The evaluation is administered digitally: ICaP students receive an invitation to complete the evaluation via email near the end of the semester
and must complete it before finals week (i.e.
the week that follows the normal sixteen-week term) for their responses to be counted. The evaluation is entirely optional: teachers may not require their students to complete it
nor may they offer incentives like extra credit as motivation. However
some instructors opt to devote a small amount of in-class time for the evaluations. In these cases
it is common practice for instructors to leave the room so as not to coerce high scores. The ICaP SET mostly takes the form of a simple multiple-choice survey. Thirty-four MCQs appear on the survey. Of these
the first four relate to demographics: students must indicate their year of instruction
their expected grade
their area of study
and whether they are taking the course as a requirement or as an elective. Following these are two questions related to the overall quality of the course and the instructor (students must rate each from “very poor” to “excellent” on a five-point scale). These are “university core” questions that must appear on every SET administered at Purdue
regardless of school
major
or course. The Students are
