Student Survey of Instruction

Introduction

At St. Petersburg College, the Student Survey of Instruction (SSI) is a survey students fill out at the end of each course to provide feedback on their experience. All responses are completely anonymous. This guide contains information about the Student Survey of Instruction for faculty.

How to Access SSI as an Instructor 

1. Inside Canvas, select your profile photo in the Global Navigation (1) and then select SSI Course Evaluation (2). 
   
2. This brings you to the SSI Evaluations and Tasks page, where you'll see all of your courses. If you have only one, then you'll see only one, etc. 
3. Click on a course in the SSI Evaluations and Tasks page to open it. 
   

Navigating Inside SSI

• Select Manage your Courses to see your courses (1). 
• Select Reports to view SSI reports (2). 
  • Note: SSI reports will be made available after the SSI survey closes for students.
    
  • While your course's SSI is live, you'll see the following:
    
    1. Course name
    2. Respondents: Total number of students invited to respond in your class, as well as how many of them have started, responded, or opted out
    3. SSI evaluation end date
    4. Report link (though you won't be able to see the report until 2 weeks after the survey ends). 
    5. What percentage of your students have responded
    6. Status (in this screenshot, SSI is live). 
  • Note: If you notice response rates are low, we encourage you to post an announcement or send a Canvas Inbox message to remind students to fill out SSI.
