Student Evaluations of Teaching – A Refresher for Chairs and Admins
Management of SETs is a complex process that requires 1) accurate information about student enrollment and instructor/TA assignments in º£½ÇÉçÇøStreet, 2) input from units about exceptions needed to our standard policies, and 3) ongoing oversight by OIRA staff. The partnership between unit administration and OIRA is essential for a seamless experience for students and faculty. We wanted to share a few reminders to help ensure a smooth process this semester.
- All courses are automatically included in the SET process as long as there are 3 or more students enrolled, and the course is not coded as Independent Study, Thesis or Travel Abroad (with subject ABD).
- If an exception is needed to add or remove a course or instructor from the process, department administrative personnel can make the request using forms on our website.
- It is important to keep faculty and TA assignment information up-to-date in º£½ÇÉçÇøStreet. If assignments change please let the Office of Student Records know immediately.
- Faculty and students are notified and reminded of important deadlines in the SET process via emails to their official UMS accounts. Students are also reminded to complete evaluations via a pop-up window when they login to Brightspace.
- Faculty, chairs/directors and designated administrative personnel can access reports at any time via the Blue Portal, which is accessible via the campus portal .
- Extensive resources to help support the SET process are available on the OIRA Online Evaluation Resources website.
