Student Evaluation

Evaluation at USQ is student-focused and evidence-based, underpinned by an overarching aim to create quality student learning environments and experience. It is a systematic process of gathering evidence, reporting results, reviewing for actions, and responding to students on their feedback of the learning environments and experience at the university. Student feedback informs course and teaching reviews, accreditation and improvements, professional development, and the university's quality assurance process.

MyOpinion is a system which allows survey creation and access, collection and reporting on student evaluation data which covers feedback on courses and learning and teaching at USQ.  The MyOpinion Academic Staff User Manual is available for download as a pdf document.

Reports are distributed to academic staff members after student results are released for the semester.

MyOpinion makes use of three survey instruments to evaluate learning and teaching: 

Student Evaluation of Courses (SEC)

Questions comprising the SEC Survey cover areas such as:

• teaching
• assessment practices
• course workload
• support.

Student Evaluation of Distance Learning and Teaching (SEDLT)

Questions comprising the SEDLT Survey cover areas such as:

• teaching materials
• assessment practices
• support.

Student Evaluation of Learning and Teaching (SELT)

Questions comprising the SELT Survey cover areas such as:

• teaching practices
• assessment
• learning outcomes

Reporting 

Course reports are available to all Academic staff through the MyOpinion system.  Reports are only released to staff after the release of student results for the semester.  See example reports.  

An Outcomes Report is produced each semester that represents data at the University and Faculty level.  These reports are available to University staff only through USQIndex.

Any questions regarding the above information may be directed to Justine Fritsch.
