Overview
The Wisconsin School of Business (WSB) utilizes SET surveys (course evaluations) to capture student perception of instructions and learning. This is one attribute of the holistic Teaching Excellence Rubric.
SET Survey Questions
The SET survey includes 14 questions that evaluate instruction across multiple attributes based on the “Roles of an [Online] Instructor” pedagogical framework.
- Questions 1-10 are utilized to calculate the SET metric. Each question is weighted equally on the following five-point scale: strongly disagree – strongly agree
- Questions 11-12 are utilized to capture an “overall” perception of the course and instructor utilizing the following five-point scale: bottom 10% – top 10%
- Questions 13-14 are utilized to capture detailed student feedback and are free-form.
