IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction

About IDEA

The IDEA  (SRI) is the instrument used at ²ÝݮӰÊÓ by students to provide feedback on teaching and learning based on their direct course experience, providing faculty with relevant information that can ultimately guide and strengthen teaching. Students complete the surveys anonymously and voluntarily at the end of each course.
