Feedback for Faculty
Student Feedback on Teaching
Student Feedback on Teaching Survey (PDF)
Student feedback on teaching is an important component of faculty development. It can take several years for faculty to develop their own teaching style. The Student Feedback on Teaching is a survey designed to provide feedback to the professor about the teaching practices that are most effective at helping students learn. The survey is administered online at the end of each term by the Institutional Research department. The results of the survey can be downloaded from the Feedback channel after grades have been posted to students.
Results from a single course may provide some useful feedback if the participation rate was greater than 65%. However, before any conclusions can be made about one’s teaching effectiveness, one would have to look at the results of several classes over a 3 year period.
If faculty would like to have a discussion about survey results they can contact the Faculty Development Specialist in the Centre for Teaching and Learning. The role of faculty development is to provide confidential support to the faculty on teaching effectiveness.
Fast Feedback Faculty may want to collect classroom feedback before the end of the term. The Fast Feedback Form is one way to collect this feedback. More resources on classroom feedback can be found on the Teaching Resources tab . Peer Feedback Faculty can request a classroom visit from the Faculty Development Specialist if they would like to receive feedback on his/her classroom teaching and learning strategies. This person is a peer, not a supervisor and experienced with providing feedback and coaching.
