Student Perceptions of Instruction (SPI)
Student Perceptions of Instruction (SPIs) are short surveys students are able to complete for each course in which they are enrolled. SPIs assess students’ perceptions of their courses and allows each student to provide feedback to his/her instructors. SPIs assess the quality of the course from the student’s perspective. Instructors are encouraged to use students’ feedback to make improvements to their courses. The use of SPI results depends on the procedures of each college at the University.
Additionally, depending on the college, SPI results are an important component of the Annual Faculty Evaluation.
