Student feedback is an indicator which provides evidence that must be interpreted. In this workshop\, we explore scholarly research on the limitations and potential biases of student feedback. We present strategies for how department chairs and program directors should review\, interpret\, and utilize the likert-scale and comment responses from the Student Instructional Ratings Survey (SIRS) to improve course curriculum\, support faculty\, and evaluate teaching. This workshop is especially beneficial for those who regularly engage with SIRS\, but we also encourage anyone from the university community interested in learning about best practices in interpreting student feedback to join us.
