Student Evaluation of Teaching

• Teaching at Oregon State University is an essential part of each instructor's responsibilities. Your responses to this questionnaire will help instructors identify quality teaching skills and methods or discover ways to improve their courses.
• Please take the time to answer each question individually and add your comments in the text box:
  • 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 will carefully consider your 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.

If you have comments/suggestions for the course that you would like to have considered by the Department or Ecampus, please send these comments directly by email or hard copy.
