How are courses evaluated at FSU
SPOT (Student Perception of Teaching) is used to evaluate
courses at FSU. Adopted by the Faculty Senate in March 2003,
SPOT replaces both the SUSSAI form (which has been
incorporated into SPOT as Section D) and the SIRS form.
• Section A: General information that will be used to describe
the student population that is evaluating the course
• Section B: Details about the course and the instructor’s
performance
• Section C: Overall evaluation of the course and instructor
