Selecting Instructor Items

As an instructor you will now have the option to select up to four questions, from the item bank, to the SFF for your course(s). This will allow you to assess aspects of your course that will be of value to you. Below are some reminders about using the new system.

• Only you will see the data from these items unless you opt to share your SFF report with your chair or others.
• Instructor added items must come from the item bank.  If you do not see the item you would like to add to your SFF, you may suggest an item to be added to the item bank.  The suggested item will then be reviewed by the Assessment of Instruction Committee. Please allow two weeks for item approval.
• You can review and select items for your course up to 60 days before the start of your course.
• You may add or edit items until 11:59 PM the day before the SFF is set to open.
• Once you select items for your course, those items will roll-over to future SFFs until you decide to change them.
• If you do not add any instructor level items, a SFF for your course will still be administered to students.  All SFFs will have the university-wide items at a minimum, along with college level and subject code level items if they were added.

Suggesting New Items for the SFF Item Bank

The Student Feedback Form Admin Panel allows users to customize the SFF by selecting items from an Item Bank to be included on the SFF. Items added to an SFF must come from the Item Bank. New item suggestions can be submitted and will be reviewed by the Assessment of Instruction Committee (AIC) for inclusion in the Item Bank. You can suggest a new item for review at any time. However, for an item to be added to the bank for use on an upcoming SFF, items must be submitted at least three weeks before the SFF administration, so that AIC has time to review and provide feedback.
