Course Experience Survey Questions
The Course Experience Survey questions were developed with students and instructors in mind. Each survey at 大象传媒 is unique to the course because 大象传媒 has adopted a module framework for the Course Experience Surveys. A modular question framework allows various stakeholder to add questions to the form depending on the course. The four modules are: Common Core, Instructor, Discipline and Course Context.
Module Question Framework
Common Core Questions reflect aspects of the learning experience all students should have in each course. They are selected by the Provost and appear on each survey.
Discipline Optional
These questions reflect discipline specific teaching approaches and course delivery methods (i.e., discussion, problem solving, case studies). They are selected by the course program lead (i.e., Chair, Director) in consultation with other faculty members. For more information about selecting Discipline Module Questions, click here:
Instructor Optional
Questions reflect instructor inquiry and responses are only reported to the instructor. For more information about adding questions to the Instructor module, click here:
Course Context Modules Optional
Questions which reflect university/faculty strategic initiatives, the academic plan or delivery models. Examples modules could include experiential education, Indigenizing the course, writing, wellbeing, open textbook, community engagement, blended courses, etc.
DEVELOPING COMMON CORE QUESTIONS
The Common Core questions were developed iteratively using a consulatory process involving faculty, students and leadership. Please click here to find the final report.
The following reports and methdologies informed the new question set.
1) Prior reports
The Common Core question set is built upon four foundational reports: 1) the SETC University-level question set 2) Teaching and Course Evaluation Project (TCEP) Working group report; 3) Teaching Assessment Working Group (TAWG) report titled Strategies to Value Effective Teaching; and 4) the SETC Improvement Project (SIP) reports.
2) Consultations
Consultation sessions were held with 大象传媒FA, TSSU, and other stakeholder groups. All faculty were invited to provide feedback about the Common Core questions.
3) Student Interviews
LEAP ran a study in which 73 students across three rounds, were interviewed about their interpretation and understanding of the questions. Access the full report here.
4) Summer 2022 Pilot
