The QSSET is your opportunity to provide feedback about your learning experience, focusing on pedagogy, course content and materials. Written comments are especially valuable. However, the QSSET is not an opportunity to make comments that are disrespectful, demeaning, discriminatory or harassing in nature. Surveys containing such comments will be discarded and will form no part of the evaluation process. Surveys are completed on a single designated day. Your instructor will inform you of this date and provide time during class for completion. Please ensure you complete the survey during the allocated time, as access to the survey is limited to the day and cannot be extended. Your participation is crucial in helping to enhance the quality of teaching and learning at ³ÉÈË´óƬ.

Please make the following announcements to the class.
"The Queen’s Survey of Student Experience of Teaching (QSSET) is your opportunity to provide feedback about pedagogy, course content, course materials, and the student learning experience generally. Written comments are especially valuable. However, the QSSET is not an opportunity to make comments that are disrespectful, demeaning, discriminatory or harassing in nature. Surveys containing such comments will be discarded and will form no part of the evaluation process."
The surveys can be completed on your phone, laptop or tablet.
Invitation emails are available in your Queen’s email. Please search for QSSET if you do not see them. Please also check your junk folder if they do not appear to be in your inbox.
The survey is available only during the designated in-class time.
Please note the response scale on the evaluation form: 7 indicates a strong agreement with an item and 1 indicates a strong disagreement with an item. There is also a non-applicable (or abstention) option for each question.
Read the paragraph at the top of the online form and remember to complete the open-ended questions at the end of each section. Please ensure that you press the submit button at the bottom to conclude your survey.
A report produced from the class responses will be forwarded to your instructor after final marks have been submitted.
