Student evaluation of teaching (SET)

Student evaluation of teaching (SET) is Flinders University's standard, mandatory instrument for gathering data from students about their response to teaching, supervision and topics.

The purpose of student evaluation of teaching is to provide staff with valid and reliable information with which to make informed decisions about improving student learning outcomes.

SET is only one of the necessary components for making such informed decisions. It is a mandatory tool at Flinders but it does not prevent the use of other evaluation methods, such as reflective practice and peer review.

Process and forms

For an outline of the SET process and to access the relevant forms, refer to Planning Services - Student evaluation of teaching.
