Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs)

The Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs) was Penn State's locally developed instrument for gathering feedback from students at the end of the course through summer semester 2023. The SRTEs were designed and approved by the University Faculty Senate in 1985 and were administered by the first by the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs and later by the Vice Provost for Faculty Affairs, which administers the new teaching assessment framework.

The Schreyer Institute managed the SRTE process and helped facilitate appropriate use of SRTE data.
