Student Evaluation of Teaching
Ecampus has made the official OSU “Student Evaluation of Teaching” available online through the Student Online Services page.
Teaching at Oregon State University is an essential part of each instructor's responsibilities. Your student’s responses to this questionnaire will help instructors identify quality teaching skills and methods or discover ways to improve their courses.
Students are asked to take the time to answer each question individually and add comments in the text box. The questionnaire is divided into discrete sections:
- questions 1 and 2 are used to compare across campus
- questions 3-12 are comparative within the discipline
- questions 13-19 collect demographic data
- comments in the text box are seen by only the instructors
Instructors are asked to carefully consider student comments. Also, supervisors for each faculty member or instructor will use this information to encourage teaching excellence. Results of this form are anonymous and are not tabulated until after grades are posted.
