The Naval Postgraduate School currently collects and
disseminates the data from Student Opinion Forms (SOF) on a
quarterly basis. After all required SOF reports are routed
to the academic departments and the instructors, the data is
archived on magnetic tape. Until recently, there was no
method of retrieving this data for use in classroom
environment research or for instructor evaluation purposes.
This thesis develops a prototype database for the
analysis of Student Opinion Forms (SOFA) for the
Administrative Sciences Department using FOCUS database
management system. It will be used to retrieve SOF data and
to produce reports and graphics which will assist the
chairman, his representatives, and department researchers in
examining the historical data relating to courses, curricula
or instructors.
SOFA will greatly assist department personnel in making
reasonable inferences regarding instructor performance,
classroom environment, student curriculum and other factors
which may be affecting the learning environment.
