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 student feedback. 

It’s quick. 
Most students complete the survey in less than 5 minutes. The online system is mobile-friendly and easy to use on the go!  

It’s  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. 

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. 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 providing feedback on the Student Feedback on Instructor 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.
