April 2018 Archives

Students can complete the Student Instructional Rating Surveys (SIRS) for their courses now, in most cases with a due date of May 3rd. 

There are three possible locations for SIRS. Students and faculty will receive emails with the correct link for their courses:

• Most courses have surveys hosted in Sakai: https://sakai.rutgers.edu/portal/site/sirs
• Some courses have surveys in evaluationKit: https://sirs.ctaar.rutgers.edu/pilot- this includes:
  • SMLR
  • SSW
  • Bloustein
  • SC&I
  • SBC
  • Law
  • Courses that use the Canvas LMS system
• Some  courses continue to use the paper surveys, and will distribute those in class.

Due dates vary depending on the school and course. For exact details for a specific course, please check our list of current surveys - this will show the survey due date and correct link for all courses.

The Fall 2017 results of the Student Instructional Rating Surveys are now available for the university community, through the SIRS results web site (requires Rutgers NetID login): 

https://sirs.ctaar.rutgers.edu/

Please note that CTAAR does not publish survey data for TAs. Department administrators who need full access to the SIRS data for their unit should use the SIRS Departmental Archive instead of the above site, and contact us for assistance. 

Instructors received their own SIRS results previously, by email on January 5th (for surveys conducted online), or via campus mail in late March (for paper surveys) c/o their department chair. Faculty and departments should retain their own copies of the SIRS results for future reference.
