Faculty Success: Semester Essentials: Student Perception of Instruction

Student Perception of Instruction

Overview

Students will be given the opportunity to complete an online Student Perception of Instruction form for each of their classes near the end of each semester. The students are notified of the need to complete the form(s) when they access the myUCF portal. Student responses are anonymous and are not provided to the colleges and faculty members until after the semester is over. We recommend you speak to the chair of your department to find out how the results are used in your evaluations.
