Extracted Content: The complexity of Student Evaluation of Teaching (SET) makes it a highly debated issue, not only as an instrument to evaluate course quality but also as an instrument in the faculty HR cycle. The VSNU-IAE France-led project looked at the practices especially at the European level.
This research conducted by Ad Scheepers, SET Project: Student Evaluations of Teaching, Measuring and Enhancing Course Quality and Teaching Quality, shows that student evaluation should be viewed as a process, as a cycle. One of the important steps in this cycle is the interpretation of the data, and that obviously depends on the aim identified when constructing the instrument. This can go from improving the teaching, quality assurance or appraising teachers.
