We know that feedback is important in your effort to improve the quality of teaching at UVU. We appreciate your assistance in encouraging your students to participate in the SRI process each semester. Here are some hints as to how you can do this:
If you have problems logging into myUVU call the UVU IT Service Desk at 801-863-8888. For questions or suggestions regarding the survey please request BI Services help through this link. BI Services Help
You will be directed to the SRI system, where you can then click on the number of evaluations taken to see the survey detail.
If you have not taught in the last 3 semesters you will no longer have access. If you have taught in the last 3 semesters, and are still having trouble accessing your results, contact the UVU IT Service Desk at 801-863-8888.
If you would like an all-inclusive SRI report that has all courses taught by year/semester/term with all the comments and raw data please submit your requested information to BI Services Help at this link. BI Services Help
Please refer to this SRI information article for instructions on how to generate the SRI files in the format that Academic Affairs requires for RTP submission.
If you would like to see SRI averages by college and/or UVU, please reach out to your department/college leadership.
Other SRI reports covering the past 2 years are also available. (Note that these reports are organized by tabs across the top of the page.)
Yes. You can check student response rates throughout the survey period by logging in to myUVU, clicking on the "Faculty" tab and selecting "My Classes" from the drop-down menu. On the right side of the screen you should find a "SRI Count" link that you can click on that will take you into the SRI system. You will also receive a periodic e-mail from the survey system with a listing of the classes you teach and the response rate.
You will not be able to see any actual survey results until all grades are submitted for a class. Once all of your grades are submitted, you can see the results by clicking on the "Course Evaluations" link after logging in to myUVU, clicking on the "Faculty" tab, and selecting "My Classes" from the drop-down menu. In addition, an e-mail will be sent to you one to two weeks after grades are due containing the results for each class section you teach.
The number of students responding, and response breakdowns are provided for each question on the survey, by class section. You will also be able to see summary information for each of the demographic questions in the current survey. You have the option to view comparative course, department, college, and university data when you view your results via myUVU.
The survey is anonymous, and you will not be able to tell whether particular students have submitted surveys or not.
Typically, students can complete SRIs beginning two weeks prior to the final day of classes, until 6 days after the final day of classes for most classes. Please refer to the SRI Key Dates table for more detailed information.
Students will receive an email containing a link to the survey at the beginning of the survey period, and then weekly until they complete the survey or the survey closes. Announcements will also be made through UV Announcements in myUVU.
The effectiveness of the SRI system is largely founded on the instructor's support of that system as a way for their students to provide feedback. Continued reminders and encouragement in class can go a long way to increasing the response rate for your SRIs. You can also send personal e-mail reminders to your classes using your course lists. If you have course content within Canvas, you can use those tools to communicate with your students about SRIs. Some instructors choose to provide extra credit. If your class meets in a computer lab, you can allot time in class for students to complete their SRIs online.
The survey is anonymous, but students can print a confirmation receipt after they have completed the survey. This receipt remains available to them as long as the surveys are still open. If the students have completed the survey without printing a receipt, they can access the receipt by clicking on the link in the SRI email they were sent for your class.
All reporting on survey results is suspended while surveys are open. After the surveys close, and all grades are in, access is reinstated. When access has been restored, you will need to login to your myUVU, click on the Faculty tab and then select "My Classes" from the drop-down menu. You should be able to access the department chair results on the bottom right of that screen. You can see the comparative data from within myUVU. You can receive this at any time or submit report requests by using the service portal to request BI Services help through this link. BI Services Help
Grades that are submitted through myUVU/Banner are not available to the student until they have either filled out the SRI or declined to fill out the SRI. When they decline they are no longer allowed to fill out an SRI. Grades that are placed in Canvas are not tied to Banner and are not official grades. If you keep track of grades in Canvas, students can use the Canvas system to guess at their final grade while filling out an evaluation.
If you cannot access your results, contact your department chair. It may be helpful in the future to speak to the person in charge of scheduling for your department a few weeks before the end of the term to confirm that your name and UVID number have been attached to the class. If this has not been changed on the official record before surveys open, you will not have any survey results.
The emails are sent to students' UVU accounts. The SRI emails will not be sent to their personal emails and the students may miss them if they have not linked their UVU email to their personal email. Even after they link their UVU email to their personal email, after it leaves UVU we cannot control what happens to it and it may end up in their personal email Spam folder. The email will also return to us as “Undeliverable” if the student’s personal email inbox is full.
Here is a preview of the current survey used.
If you have other questions, please contact your department chair or Kathren Brown at (801)863-8517 or via e-mail at KBrown@uvu.edu.
