For this session, a seven-step approach to document analysis that analyzes textual information is demonstrated. Document analysis teases out what is missed in course evaluation instruments when we do not holistically account for what is evaluated. It makes explicit the measurement foci of survey items; identifies concepts, constructs, and criteria embedded within these instruments; documents the presence or absence of what is “valued;” and determines whether or not a coherent survey design is evident. Document analysis is useful in all types of evaluation
