Overview
The University requires instructors (faculty, adjuncts, and graduate assistants) who teach undergraduate courses with ten or more students in fall and spring terms, or graduate courses with five or more students in fall and spring terms, to administer course evaluations. Currently, the instrument used for student evaluation of courses is the SPOT (Student Perception of Teaching) form. Course evaluations may also be requested for courses with smaller enrollments and for online courses. Online courses do not currently fall under the FSU SPOT policy, but may be evaluated using the electronic version of the state-mandated SUSSAI (eSUSSAI).
