Faculty & Course Evaluations
The State University System Student Assessment of Instruction (SUSSAI) allows students to assess the quality of instruction received in their classes. The assessment is administered in the last three weeks of instruction every semester through a survey provided to each enrolled student.
About The Course Evaluations

- ✔️ The surveys, which are completed electronically, are course- and instructor-specific.
- ✔️ The surveys are emailed or can be accessed via canvas.
- ✔️ Periodic reminders for surveys not yet completed are sent to the students FAMU email account.
- ✔️ Instructors are also emailed a response rate notice halfway through the survey period.
- ✔️ Student responses are anonymous.
- ✔️ Results are emailed to instructors three to four weeks after the survey period closes.
- ✔️ The results show the response rate and the composite ratings by the students for each course, along with any comments made by students.
