Subject and Instructor Evaluation

SUTD places high importance in maintaining the quality of its courses and ensuring that students have a positive learning experience.

In order for constant enhancement in teaching effectiveness and learning to take place, student participation in course evaluations is a valuable source of feedback and information. Our course evaluations are set up in eDimension.

Instructor - Accessing Survey Reports and Responses (SUTD Central)Student - Accessing your Surveys

The course and instructor evaluation is administered during Mid-term and End-term of each trimester. End-term surveys are conducted for all courses, i.e. courses offered to students in Term 2-10 and ILP. Mid-term surveys are only conducted for:

  • New faculty teaching for the first time in SUTD
  • Faculty teaching the subject for the first time
  • Faculty members who teach half-term subjects

There are two parts of the course evaluation form:

  • General Feedback on Subject
  • Individual Instructor Evaluation

Heads of pillars and/or subject leads can add up to 15 questions, if required. The subject leads are the main point of contact during the setup to provide the list of instructors to be evaluated and to confirm the survey questions.

Students will be notified to participate in surveys via email, as well as in eDimension.

The Ad Hoc Survey committee reviews the course evaluation, questions/policy and seeks approval from the Associate Provost (Education) for changes. The committee members are:
