QSSET is conducted on a designated single day during the final weeks of the term. Instructors receive a reminder email 10 days prior to their scheduled survey day. Instructors should ensure students are well informed in advance and allocate in-class time for survey completion as per the updated guidelines.
To maximize student participation, instructors should:
-
Announce the survey date to students at least one week in advance.
-
Allocate in-class time for survey completion.
-
Collaborate with a Class Student Representative for survey administration during on-campus courses.
-
For online courses:
​​​​Synchronous Classes: Reserve time during a live session, reading instructions aloud to facilitate participation.
Asynchronous Classes: Send reminders via email or a learning management system (like onQ) to encourage survey completion.
The online survey solicits student feedback about instructors for two purposes:
-
to help Instructors improve their teaching; and
-
to help Unit Heads and Deans evaluate the job performance of ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ faculty for salary increase, contract renewal, tenure, and promotion.
The instructor will see only the anonymized numerical scores and written comments from the survey. Unit Heads and Deans will see only an aggregate of the numerical scores.
Notice to students about inappropriate comments:
The QSSET is your opportunity to provide vital feedback about your learning experience as it is affected by pedagogy, course content, and course materials. Written comments are especially valuable. However, the QSSET is not an opportunity to make comments that are disrespectful, demeaning, discriminatory or harassing in nature. Surveys containing such comments will be discarded and will form no part of the evaluation process.
