Guidelines for Administering SOIs

1. Students should know from the beginning of the term that completion of the online SOI will be expected for the course.

2. As always, faculty should emphasize to students that the feedback from SOIs is important in updating courses.

3. Student instructions for completing SOIs are available at Directions for Accessing and Completing SOIs.

4. If a faculty member is concerned about student participation on SOIs, the faculty member can print handouts with QR codes from SmartEvals and distribute those handouts to students to complete the SOIs during class time. However, faculty members should not be present when students are completing their SOIs. See the Instructor Guide for directions on printing QR codes for a course.
