Dear Faculty Member,

Texas A&M University-San Antonio values the opinions and feedback of our students on the quality of instruction. The "Student Rating of Instruction" (SRI) system gives each student a brief survey for each course he or she is enrolled in at Texas A&M-San Antonio. This summer, we will be conducting the SRIs via an online platform.

On 8/1/2016  students will receive emails (Jaguar email accounts) with a hyperlink to the SRI for each class. In addition, they can find a link to their SRIs after they login to Blackboard (in the left-hand Tools menu on the My Institution landing page – NOT in your courses). Please note the following:

• The evaluation can only be completed once for each class.   
• Evaluations are confidential, and faculty and administrators are unable to link student information with completed evaluations.
• Surveys for Summer 2nd 5 Week 2016 must be completed by 8/5/2016 at 6:00am.
• You can increase your response rate by making a course resource available exclusively in Blackboard during the evaluation period. We are making use of a new setting in EvaluationKIT which will require students to respond to the SRI before accessing other resources in Blackboard.
• Faculty members will be able to access the results for review one week after final course grades are due (after final course grades have been posted).
• While you will not be able to access results until one week after final course grades are due, you will be able to view your class response rates as soon as your students begin to respond. You can view this information by clicking on this link Login (Note: This link should not be shared with others; it is unique to you.) .

Thank you, 

The Office of Academic Affairs
