Starting Fall 2023, the University of Windsor is implementing the Senate approved Student Perceptions of Teaching (SPTs), formerly the Student Evaluations of Teaching (SETs). The SPTs provides a summary of students’ perceptions of instruction and course characteristics to instructors, which can provide valuable feedback to instructors on their teaching effectiveness and the overall value of the course, and may be considered as part of an instructor’s performance review as well as tenure and promotion decisions.
SPT forms are completed online. The form is only available within the last week of classes for a 6-week course and the last two weeks for a 12-week course. It takes 10 minutes to complete. Students are encouraged to provide constructive feedback that focuses on aspects of the teaching or the course. Responses are confidential, and only summary information, not individual responses, will be seen by the instructor. Written comments will be provided only to the instructor, without connecting them to your answers to other questions, and they will be provided verbatim. Therefore, students may wish to avoid discussing anything that may be traceable (such as specific conversations or incidents). The redesign provides enhanced transparency, validity, usability, and efficiency of our approach to gathering feedback on student experience. Your voice and perceptions matter.
