Don’t Forget! Fall 2024 Course Evaluations – Due on Monday 11/25
The law school’s course evaluation period for Fall 2024 courses will remain open through Monday, November 25, at 11:59 p.m. You may evaluate your courses and your professors using the online SETE system. Your professors may use class time to allow you to complete your evaluation. If not, you may complete the evaluation at any time during the evaluation period. Access instructions are below.
- Your thoughtful, professional, and candid feedback is crucial to the success of the law school. Professors receive course evaluations after course grades are reported. Neither your name nor any identifying information is given to the evaluated professor.
- The most important part of the SETE form is the comments section. Please take the time to complete this section of the SETE evaluation. This section allows you to provide specific, thoughtful feedback that expands on the numerical ratings.
- Student evaluations play a critical role at the Law School. Professors use your feedback to inform their decisions about course development and delivery, including teaching methodologies. Additionally, your evaluations inform the review of professors that takes place every year as well as hiring, promotion, and retention decisions. Thus, it is important that your feedback be professional, specific, and constructive. To make your evaluations as useful as possible to your professors and the Law School, keep in mind the follow guidelines: (1) speak based on your own experiences; (2) include feedback about what worked well and what could have worked better; (3) provide specific feedback that focuses on your learning rather than general critiques or praise; alternative solutions, suggestions, and examples are especially helpful; feedback that incorporates objectively describable facts is especially informative; and (4) be respectful, even – perhaps especially – when identifying areas for improvement; disrespectful or unprofessional commentary undermines the value of your feedback.
