The survey invitations for Spring 2013 for 15-week courses will be issued via Mavmail to students on Friday, April 19, 2013.
 As part of UT Arlington’s efforts toward continually improving the quality of teaching, we have developed the Student Feedback Survey (SFS) program, a campus-wide program that affords students with an opportunity to reflect upon their experience in each organized course (lectures, seminars, and labs) and offer relevant feedback. |
Toward the end of each term, each student enrolled in a lecture, seminar, or lab course will receive an e-mailed invitation to participate in the SFS for that particular section. (Students will receive separate e-mail messages for each course in which they are enrolled.) With few exceptions, each SFS is administered online. In every case, the feedback is submitted anonymously.
Once the final grades for the term have been officially certified by the University, summaries of the SFS data are provided to both the professor and his/her supervisor. These reports help members of the faculty identify which aspects of a course should remain unchanged and which aspects might benefit from revision. |
| Student Feedback Surveys at a glance. |
Sustainable |
The SFS process takes place online, thereby eliminating the need to print more than 110,000 paper surveys each long semester. |
Efficient |
The use of online surveys eliminates the need to scan data from paper forms, thereby expediting the reporting process. |
Anonymous |
All responses to the survey items are dissociated from the student’s identity, thereby ensuring anonymity. |
Collective |
Student responses for each section of a course are combined into a single report, thereby providing the instructor with a summative account of the students’ course experience. |
Convenient |
Surveys remain open for multiple days, thereby providing students with the option of responding at their convenience.
