IDEA's Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) are designed to provide formative feedback that gives suggestions for improvement while providing summative feedback that can be used as a component of a more comprehensive system of faculty evaluation. The SDSU Center for the Enhancement of Teaching and Learning has developed resources to support faculty in their efforts related to IDEA-SRI.
CETL staff is always available to consult with faculty and graduate teaching assistants as they interpret and integrate the feedback received from IDEA-SRI into their practice.
