¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Survey of Students' Experience of Teaching (QSSET)
QSSET or ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Survey of Students' Experience of Teaching is the newest version of the University Survey of Student Assessment of Teaching. This new survey was first implemented in the Fall term of 2020 and became the official survey of the learning experience at ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥. Developed with the ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ Faculty Association (QUFA), the content of the survey is based on the criteria outlined in Article 29 of the Collective Agreement between the University and QUFA.
More information on QSSET is available through the Office of the Provost and Vice-Principal (Academic) website.
Interpreting Your Student Feedback
The CTL is happy to consult with you individually in terms of how to interpret results, look for common themes, and find areas of strength and for improvement.
You can include summaries and points you wish to emphasize in the ‘evidence of effectiveness’ section of your teaching dossier. Refer your readers to the appendix for the full survey. A well-designed teaching dossier will have many different types of evidence of effectiveness, and the CTL’s teaching dossier resource goes into more detail on what those could be.
QUFA Members should follow the requirements laid out in the Collective Agreement Article 29.4 (above). Include a statement explaining how you administered the survey, the response rate, all questions asked, and any other pertinent information.
A sample format might be as follows:
