Cleared for feedback: How Embry-Riddle took course evaluations to new heights
What To Expect
Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University is proving that student feedback, done right, drives real change.
With targeted assessment surveys across 77 programs and response rates consistently over 60%, they’ve built a culture of feedback that empowers both students and faculty.
Get an inside look at how Embry-Riddle charted a unified path for assessment from three separate systems, and how their latest initiative, the Student Perception of Teaching (SPoTs) program, is turning course evaluations into a launchpad for teaching excellence.
You’ll learn how to:
- Shift course evaluations from checkbox tasks to tools that improve teaching and overall faculty development.
- Fill gaps in outcome data with targeted assessments.
- Increase response rates and faculty buy-in through consistent, engaging practices.
- And more!
