Student Rating of Teaching (SRT) Forms

Multiple forms are available for use in the course evaluation process. The majority of these forms are considered to be Student Rating of Teaching (SRT) compliant. SRT compliant forms include a standard set of questions addressing general aspects of the instructor and course and demographics. Student release (SR) questions are also included on SRT forms. Faculty members required by University policy to evaluate at least one section of each course taught during a given year must use a SRT compliant form for these evaluations.

Student Release Questions

Student release (SR) questions are included on all SRT forms. The SR component consists of ten standard questions.

Early Semester Evaluations

Early semester (or mid-semester) evaluations are typically offered using Form B - Early Semester. Early semester evaluations are intended for instructors only and are not used in decisions regarding tenure or salary. Form B is not SRT compliant.
