End of Course Evaluations

The Committee for Effective Teaching, a Faculty Senate subcommittee, oversees all SET-related issues (Student Evaluation of Teaching). For answers to questions related to SETs or the SET process please get in touch with a member of the Committee for Effective Teaching.

An intercampus faculty council of the UM System compiled a 2018 report on evaluating classroom-based, online, blended, and laboratory teaching interactions, which can be found in June 2018.

Questions about the SET process or SET data should be directed to the Committee for Effective Teaching.

Mid-Semester Feedback

The Teaching and Learning Center offers a mid-semester feedback service. This gives instructors a sense of how they and their students are performing in the classroom. It can be an invaluable tool because instructors then have time to adjust their teaching to better meet their students' needs and improve the course learning outcomes.
