 Median: Middle rating when all A-F ratings are rank-ordered, A=4, B=3...F=0.  If 20 forms, median=4.0 for 20 A's ... 11 A's & 9 F's.
 STD (standard deviation): YOUR STD = DISagreement among raters; DEPT/CAMPUS STD = how far sections tend to be from the group avg.
 SEM (standard error of the mean) = margin of error. Your true average is between (your avg - SEM) and (your avg + SEM).
 Dif = strength of difference between your rating & group average. Ranges from --- to +++. Blank = negligible difference.
 Percentile = your percentile in the distribution within the group, reported to nearest 5 (e.g., 85 for 82nd - 86th).
 ** Percentiles not reported for groups with under 10 sections.       See www.colorado.edu/pba/fcq for details on all statistics.
 Blank (BL) and non-applicable (NA) responses are tallied but excluded from averages.
