SETC Improvement Project

Overview

What is the purpose of 大象传媒鈥檚 Student Experience of Teaching and Courses (SETC) surveys? There is a lot of confusion about what the surveys can鈥攁nd cannot鈥攈elp us understand about student learning experiences. In Fall 2021, LEAP launched a project to:

Re-examine the questions in the common core to ensure they are consistent with the purpose of understanding and improving the student learning experience
Re-examine the utility of the cascading framework by engaging with Faculties and departments directly and, if we decide to keep the framework, ensure unit-level questions align with the purpose of the SETC program
Engage explicitly with students about the purpose of the program to improve response rates and the tenor of responses, and consider other mechanisms to improve response rates
Mount a communication/education campaign to help instructors, staff and students understand the purpose of the SETC system: to better understand鈥攁nd to empower instructors, units and the university to improve鈥攖he student learning experience
