Engineering Education, 2007 An Analysis of Multi-Year Student Questionnaire Data from a Software Engineering Course1. IntroductionImproving student learning has been a long-standing goal of educators across all disciplines. Toimprove effectively and methodically, one needs to know what works well (and needs to besustained) and what does not work well (and may benefit from changing). In a classroomenvironment, the two direct stakeholders, instructors and students, can both provide valuableperspectives on how things are going.This paper presents an analysis of an extensive set of feedback data provided by students across8 academic terms for an undergraduate introductory course in software engineering, taught at alarge

practicing educators, a purely quantitative study would have afew shortcomings. The first, of course, is that our natural interpretation of quantized aggregatedata tends to emphasize the results of the majority, which is not always a useful approach ineducational contexts—particularly engineering education, which concerns itself with building amore welcoming culture for a breadth of students, including those who are presentlyunderrepresented. The second shortcoming of quantitative measures is that while surveyinstruments can reveal broad trends in student attitudes, surveys have limited ability to explorethe reasons and influences that underlie these trends, nor to enlist the collaboration of surveyparticipants in considering alternatives.
