Uses of the Data

S33W

Results from the perception instrument are handled differently depending on the semester/term. Data from the Student Perceptions of Teaching are to be made available to faculty members for all semesters the perception instrument is completed. These data provide information to faculty members and assist in their self-analysis of teaching effectiveness. Data from semesters other than fall, and other semesters/terms where departments, colleges, or schools require it, may be submitted by a faculty member in his/her application for tenure/promotion or other personnel decisions.  

In the fall semester, and in other semesters/terms where departments, colleges, or schools require it, results of the Student Perceptions of Teaching data are to be shared with the faculty member’s Department Chair and Dean.
