Student Evaluations of Teaching Update
All summer SET reports were released to faculty and departments the week of September 11 for both UM and UMM.
In the spring, we convened a small faculty pilot group to get feedback on a new PowerBI dashboard that provides faculty longitudinal access to their SET results across semesters. Using that feedback, the dashboard was finalized this summer. Once logged in, faculty will see only their own results associated with the standard university SET questions for any of their courses that were evaluated back to fall 2020. Visualizations and filters on the dashboard allow viewers to explore how their results have changed over time and among their courses. This tool can also be used to compile results needed for P&T applications, avoiding the need to open all the reports individually within the Blue portal.
Faculty who received SET reports for summer courses were notified how to access the dashboard, and we will continue to direct people to the dashboard in fall report notifications at the end of the semester. For anyone interested in viewing the dashboard now, it can be found at https://umaine.edu/oira/interactive-data/internal-reports/#Eval – look for the link called UMaine Student Evaluations Faculty Dashboard. A short video orientation to the dashboard is also available at this link: Orientation to NEW Faculty SET Dashboard.
