Thresholds for Viewing Reports

An institution-wide threshold feature is enabled by default on your Evaluate site to allow for restricting access to reports if a section does not meet three (3) or more responses - or - 10Threshold Management is turned on by default for your Blackboard: Evaluate site. It lets administrators set a minimum number of responses that must be met before Faculty Reports are released. For example, if your institution requires at least 7 responses, Evaluate enforces that standard automatically. If a course doesn’t meet the threshold, its reports are not released.

Your data is still safe. Responses from courses below the threshold remain available through the Raw Data Export.0% response rate. The table below describes the requirements of the threshold in more detail below.

100% Participation Override

Threshold Management works alongside the 100% Participation Override. When a course reaches full participation, Evaluate automatically waives the threshold, even if the response count is below the minimum. This helps smaller courses, such as seminars and graduate programs, where low enrollment makes a standard threshold hard to reach.

*The threshold is required for all campuses using IDEA evaluations.
