Information for Students
West Chester University is committed to ensuring the quality of the teaching and learning
experience of our students. An important component of this is the regular rating of
instructors by students, or the SRIS - Student Rating of Instructor Survey.
It’s not “just a formality”
Instructors use this valuable information to improve and enhance their courses and
they appreciate the time you take to complete the survey and any individual comments
you may choose to add.
It’s completely confidential
Your instructor will never see your name or ID attached to your individual responses.
Your instructor will receive a results report of summarized data only and text from
open-ended questions as written. To protect your anonymity, please do not include
your name in the open-ended responses. Additionally, your feedback is not available
to your instructor until after final grades have been submitted and posted.
As you complete the survey, try to put aside your reaction to the course itself and
focus on the quality of instruction provided by this instructor.
Students should strive to avoid cultural and social biases when assessing faculty
effectiveness on the SRIS survey, focusing instead on the effectiveness of instruction. Such biases may include but are not limited to race, ethnicity, sexual orientation,
gender identity or expression, national origin, religion, language, disability, and
health related characteristics of your instructor. Students should also strive to
avoid bias against their instructor due to course materials challenging their beliefs.
Faculty have similarly committed themselves to avoiding cultural and social biases
when evaluating student work and when there is disagreement with challenging course
materials.
