Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness
The Student Rating of Teaching Effectiveness (SRTEs) are Penn State’s locally developed instrument for gathering feedback from students at the end of the course. SRTEs were approved by the University Faculty Senate 
in 1985 and are administered by the Office of the Vice Provost for Academic Affairs . The Schreyer Institute for Teaching Excellence manages the SRTE process and helps facilitate appropriate use of SRTE data.
