How to Access Reports for Faculty and Departments

In 2017, SJSU migrated to MyCoursEval for collecting and reporting on teaching evaluations. Faculty and department contacts have access to their respective reports year round on the system after the reports have been released. Historical reports from before then are available from Office of Institutional Research and Strategic Analytics on request. Designated department administrative staff often have access to back copies as well. There are plans for direct links between MyCoursEval and the eFaculty system in the future.

See our faculty access guide and department access guide for more details on how to access and use the new reports.

The table below summarizes electronic report availability.

Requests for SOTE/SOLATE reports can be made with the department of Institutional Research. (institutional-research@sjsu.edu). Requests can take up to a week to process.

SOTE/SOLATE Norms by College
To save space in the individual reports, IRSA prepared a stand-alone guide of SOTE/SOLATE college-level norms (averages, medians, selected percentiles) in the following addendum reports. 

Since Fall 2019, the SOTE and SOLATE individual reports include comparison figures at the department, college and university levels.

Background on SOTE and SOLATE

The Student Opinion of Teaching Effectiveness (SOTE) form is used in courses primarily taught in lecture and seminar formats. The Student Opinion of Laboratory and Activity Teaching Effectiveness (SOLATE) form is used in laboratory and activity courses. The content of SOTE/SOLATE, along with policies on teaching evaluations, come from the Student Evaluation Review Board (SERB) and the SJSU Academic Senate.
