ADDING INSTRUCTOR QUESTIONS
Once you have ensured that your course is included to be surveyed for the semester, and the survey dates are accurate, you can begin adding up to 4 personalized questions to each course survey you are teaching.
These questions are in addition to our current survey questions:
Instructor Questions can be selected from our current Instructor Question Bank or can be created from scratch depending on your interest and feedback goals. You can get started with selecting/creating them by logging into the , where you can peruse and add questions to your upcoming course survey(s).
Including these questions in your survey is optional and the responses to these questions will only be available to you.
NEW THIS FALL:
We have included questions related to Open Education Resources (OER) to the question bank to help instructors understand their students' experience with these resources in relation to their course. If you would like to connect with our team for more information on how to use these questions to support your inquiry, please reach out to cesurvey@sfu.ca and we will get you connected.
The Instructor Question Bank also has other categories of questions such as assessment models and student well being categories that were added last year:
- Alternative Assessment Models: If you are incorporating alternative grading methods or ungrading in your course, the Course Experience Surveys can help you learn more about the impact of your implementation of alternative assessment on your students. This also gives you the chance to gain student perspectives on the strengths of this approach as well as potential improvements. You can connect with the Centre of Educational Excellence (CEE) to request custom workshops for support in designing an alternative assessment approach for your course.
- Student Well-being: Feeling supported within a learning environment can impact students’ academic experience and well-being immensely. This category of questions can allow you to identify ways in which you can incorporate well-being practices in your teaching strategies. If you already have such practices in place, you can use these questions or create your own to hear about how it’s going from your students. Learn more about how well-being practices are used in classrooms across SFU through the Tools for Well-being in the Classroom (TWC) initiative carried out by SFU’s Health Promotion team in collaboration with Transforming Inquiry into Learning & Teaching (TILT)
