After receiving a purchase order for the Web PEEK, administrators are assigned a user name and password allowing access to their school's PEEK administrations. Students take the PEEK from any computer with access to the Web. Since the scoring process is totally automated, a one-page report is immediately generated and may be printed. This report page lists the scores for each scale along with suggestions for improving in each area.

Administrators of the PEEK can view three detailed reports at via the Web: Individual Report, Distribution Report, and Summary Report. The individual and group data will be provided for the following three categories (ten items per category): Academic experiences, Personal experiences, and Social experiences. A detailed User's Manual is also provided at no charge with each order. It includes an overview of the PEEK, a description of the three scales, and directions for administrators.

PEEK is designed to identify differences within and between peer groups which may be valuable clues to developing programs to change inaccurate perceptions and expectations. For example, comparing the responses of first and second-year students may help to identify reasons for student success or failure. Comparing the responses of incoming and advanced students may help to identify mismatched expectations within or between each of the groups.

The uses of PEEK are expected to provide each institution a valuable source of information for adjusting and/or improving admissions, orientations, instruction, faculty development, counseling, and administration.

PEEK scores will be unique to each institution or peer group within that institution. Each individual within a peer group will have a score that indicates the extent to which his/her expectations differ/agree with the peer group. Professional interventions can be planned for individuals whose expectations vary considerably from their peer group. When peer group scores vary considerably from institutional perceptions and expectations, PEEK can be used to help initiate actions to narrow the gaps.

The three buttons below allow you to view results of administering the PEEK.

The PEEK Distribution Report is always three pages in length, one for each of the PEEK categories, ACA, PER, or SOC. Each page will show the items in a category, the responses for each item, and the group data for that category.
