Abstract
In order to analyze the student ratings of University teaching, several indices summarize the relative frequencies of positive and negative responses in a single numerical value. Focusing on linear functions of response frequencies, the paper studies some interesting families of indices for the measurement of student satisfaction. Special attention is paid to relationships between these families and to a particular family that arises in a natural way.
