APU IDEA Evaluations

Student Evaluation with IDEA

Individual Development and Educational Assessment (IDEA) is the university's mechanism for soliciting student feedback about their learning experience.

The IDEA Student Ratings of Instruction (SRI) translates student feedback about their courses into actionable steps to improve student learning. The IDEA survey’s chief indicator of teaching effectiveness is how well students rate their progress on the types of learning that faculty target. 

Students submit feedback on teaching and learning based on their direct course experience, providing faculty with relevant information, that when coupled with IDEA’s resources, support, guide, and strengthen teaching.
