Your online SETs will be automatically generated.
These created surveys will include the standard questions evaluating the topic and the standard questions evaluating the topic coordinator as a lecturer.
It is important that topic coordinators or a representative check survey instruments that are automatically set up. All parameters can be changed if desired.
Changes to a standard SET can include additional questions, adjustment of survey dates and editing teaching staff.
Students will normally receive only one SET survey per topic (there may be special circumstances where two or more surveys are appropriate). This survey will present the students with a series of questions about the topic as well as questions about the teaching of one or more individual staff members.
Form U: Customisable provides the base for online topic SETs. Question set U includes 7 core questions (5 Likert and 2 open-ended). Users can also add up to 5 additional questions from a question bank. At least one Teacher question set (Question sets L, T, E and S) must be added to question set U.
Form F: Flexible is an optional online survey instrument that allows the user to tailor his or her own requirements for feedback. Users may select questions from the existing question bank and/or construct free-form questions. The flexible survey allows for a maximum of 5 Likert and 3 open-ended questions.

Surveys can only be edited/deleted prior to the survey open date. If there are special circumstances that require a survey to be edited or deleted after the survey open date, requests can be made to set@flinders.edu.au.

SETs for foundation course topics can be facillitated through the SET System by following the instructions above. SETs for the Introductory Academic Program (IAP) where students are not enrolled in topics via the Student System will need to have SETs conducted via alternative means. To organsie paper SETs for IAP topics please contact set@flinders.edu.au.
SETs for offshore topics can be facillitated through the SET system by following the instructions above.
Topic coordinators receive an email during the week after most SETs have closed informing them results are able to be viewed. All College SET administrators are supplied with a copy of Planning & Analytical Services annual SET plan detailing main tasks and timelines at the beginning of each year.
Your report can be viewed after the survey has closed by following the instructions below. Alternatively you can refer to the user guide.
The SET system structure enables topic coordinators, Vice President & Executive Deans and above to have automatic access to reports. That being said, anyone can be manually added to a topic and/or teacher SET report viewing list by the topic coordinator, Planning & Analytical Services or a College SET Administrator.
If access to many reports is required, Planning & Analytical Services can provide a customised report (usually a pivot table) upon request. In addition, SET topic results are available in Flinders Intelligence Portal (FLIP) and can be interrogated by users with author access.

Your evaluation may have used the F: Flexible or T: Tutor form. By default a topic evaluation will use the U: Topic form and the teacher evaluation will be the L: Lecturer form. However in some circumstances, these other forms can be used for multiple teachers or individualised questions.
