Spring response rates rise to 41% – goal is 90%
From Sara Kim, PhD, research professor, surgery, and associate dean for Educational Quality Improvement (EQI):
Thank you to everyone who helped raise the Spring survey response rate from 30% to 41%! (See the regional breakdown graph below).
Thank you to Alaska students, who raised the rate by 20% to reach 40% this week! Montana leads the overall response rate (61%, +18%), followed by Idaho (51%, +18%), Gonzaga (44%, +13%), Wyoming (42%, +11%), and Seattle (31%, +11%). Tremendous work! We know this is a busy time of the year and thank you for completing this 10-minute survey.
We are hoping to reach an overall response rate of 90% and will increase the number of gift cards as needed. Please see below the incentive breakdown by campus in the table below. You can choose to use your gift card with different vendors such as Amazon, Apple, Uber Eats, and many other stores, restaurants and movie theatres!
| Campus | # of Gift Cards ($10) if Campus Response Rates Reach 60% | Additional # of Gift Cards ($10) if Campus Response Rates Reach 85% | If Campus Response Rates Reach 100% |
| Seattle | 15 | 10 | Any unused gift cards will be raffled to the campus cohort(s) reaching 100% |
| Spokane | 9 | 6 | |
| Wyoming | 3 | 2 | |
| Alaska | 3 | 2 | |
| Montana | 5 | 3 | |
| Idaho | 6 | 4 |
Note: According to the UW policy, student employees (e.g., tutors, research assistants, hourly workers, etc.) cannot receive a gift card. If you win the raffle as a student employee, we will send alternative items of $10 value from Amazon.
