2:15 – 2:30
What is CEQuery? Software for text analysis
The CEQ collects written comments under the headings “Best aspects” and “Needs improvement”◦ What were the best aspects of your course?◦ What aspects of your course were most in need of
improvement?
CEQuery classifies into 5 Domains and 26 Subdomains
CEQuery enables the student’s qualitative comments to be linked with quantitative:◦ demographic and field of education variables◦ satisfaction scales and graduate outcomes
“Listen to the ‘voice’ of students & not just rely on quantitative measures”◦ Professor Geoff Scott

Coding of comments to sub-domains by CEQuery checked by multiple raters◦ Accuracy approx 90%
Still being used by over 20 universities in Aust and a couple in NZ – even though it is very out of date
