Faculty who teach online courses but choose to administer paper evaluations may opt-out of Online SET. If they do not release or do not opt-out, we will automatically do it for them.

In addition, unless your area has a policy against it, faculty who are not teaching online may use Online SET. Many faculty choose this option because they know that if they administer during class time, their response rates will be comparable to paper-based evaluations.

Some departments are choosing to administer their classes entirely online for logistical reasons and had much quicker priority turnaround as a result. If you would like to pursue this, we are happy to help work out the details with you.
