    ----------------------------------------------------------------
        Course Content  Faculty Expertise   Career Services   Facilities

Description:

• Y-axis represents the satisfaction rating (on a scale of 1 to 5).
• X-axis lists the different program components (Course Content, Faculty Expertise, Career Services, Facilities).
• Each bar’s height corresponds to the average satisfaction score for that category.

Interpretation:

• “Course Content” and “Faculty Expertise” are rated highly (around 4.5), while “Career Services” scores lower (around 3.0), indicating areas for improvement.

SayPro Pie Chart for Stakeholder Feedback Distribution

A pie chart can be used to show the distribution of feedback received from different stakeholders such as students, faculty, and employers. This chart visually communicates which group provided the most feedback.

SayPro Example Pie Chart:

 +----------------------------+
 |   Students: 50%            |
 |   Faculty: 30%             |
 |   Employers: 20%           |
 +----------------------------+

Description:

• Pie sections represent the percentage of feedback received from different stakeholder groups.
• This helps to visualize which stakeholder group contributed the most to the program evaluation process.

Interpretation:

• Half of the feedback comes from students, which could be valuable as they are directly impacted by the program.
• Employers, though contributing less feedback (20%), may provide insight into post-graduation outcomes and industry relevance.

               Students        Faculty               Students

Description:

• The Y-axis represents the rating score (from 1 to 5).
• The X-axis lists the program components.
• Each program component will have two bars: one for student feedback and one for faculty feedback.

Interpretation:

• Students and faculty both agree that Course Content is strong (rating 4.5), but there is a noticeable discrepancy between their feedback on Facilities.
• Students rated Facilities lower than faculty, indicating a possible difference in perspectives or needs.

SayPro Radar (Spider) Chart for Multi-Dimensional Evaluation

A radar chart is ideal for comparing multiple dimensions at once. Here, we’ll compare Course Content, Faculty Support, Engagement, and Career Services across multiple years or stakeholder groups.

Example Radar Chart:

plaintextCopy code            (Course Content)
                   | \

Description:

• Each axis represents one component (Course Content, Faculty Support, Engagement, Career Services).
• Each line represents ratings for a specific year or group (e.g., Year 2022, Students, Faculty).

Interpretation:

• This chart gives a clear visual of where the program excels (e.g., Course Content and Faculty Support) and where it needs improvement (Career Services).
• The radar chart’s shape will help identify areas with a significant gap between expectations and performance.
