The Student Feedback on Teaching Survey (SFTS) aims to provide lecturers an opportunity to collect evidence, among other sources (peer review, class observation reports, etc.), to build their teaching portfolio. It is assumed that reflecting on the Student Feedback on Teaching Survey reports assists lecturers in continuously improving their teaching, learning and assessment practices, curricula, and the general quality of the modules they teach. Student Feedback on Teaching Survey reports and lecturer reflections are also used in performance reviews and as part of the applications for promotion.
A lecturer must enrol/register their module/s in any of the eight Student Feedback on Teaching Survey cycles based on their teaching schedule. It is important to take note of the table below and note the enrollment dates for the cycle that suits your teaching schedule. Lecturers cannot enrol their modules outside the cycles’ published enrollment dates. Lecturers are responsible for ensuring that their module(s) is/are enrolled in the appropriate SFTS cycle by using this link: Enrol link.
During the Student Feedback on Teaching Survey administration period, your students will receive an email with a link to participate in the Student Feedback on Teaching Survey. In addition, in their clickUP module, there will be a pop-up message indicating that they have Feedback Surveys to complete by the end of a set survey administration period.
How to enrol modules for student feedback:
When you enrol/activate/register a module for the Student Feedback on Teaching Survey, you will receive an email confirmation of your enrolled module. Lecturers who teach in team-taught modules will also receive an email notification regarding the module enrolled and the cycle in which they have been enrolled. Please contact the Student Feedback Office at [email protected] if any changes in the module enrolment details need to be made.
