New Student Evaluation of Instructor (SEI)

In 2016, the Faculty Affairs Committee of the University Senate formed a subcommittee to evaluate the efficacy of the SEI, eliminate language biases, provide more space for student comments, and increase student response rate. There was also an interest in adopting a more holistic approach to assessing teaching effectiveness that goes simply looking at composite scores. The subcommittee was comprised of experts in the area of scholarship of teaching and learning and included faculty across the university and 60+ stakeholders. The committee worked for three years in revising the instrument. The new revised instrument was passed by the Faculty Senate in April 2019 and can be found here: Student Evaluation Instrument >
