In the study evaluated in this report, the authors asked what effect survey length has on student non-response rates to individual items on IDEA's "Diagnostic Feedback" (DF) and "Learning Essentials" (LE) forms. The approach was to analyze individual student ratings of classes contained in the 2015-2016 IDEA-CL database.…

Most institutions of higher education have some system in place for collecting student ratings of instruction (SRI) data from classes on a systematic basis. SRIs are a relatively simple way of gauging student perceptions of teaching and the course. Since the initial development of IDEA SRI in 1975, much has changed about higher education. Many…

Although universities often teach ethics courses, they do not always teach students how to apply ethical course content to ethical dilemmas they encounter on a day-to-day basis. The Awareness-Investigation-Responding (AIR) model of ethical inquiry bridges this gap by scaffolding the reflective process and empowering students to make more caring,…
