We are required to administer SOTES (Student Opinion of Teaching Effectiveness) for all classes.
SOTES are students' evaluations of the instruction they receive at San Jose State University. They are released throughout the university at the same time. Your feedback and opinions are kept confidential. Instructors cannot access the responses until long after the semester is over and your grades are already recorded.
You will be given access to the SOTES near the end of the semester. Linda Main generally sends a message to all students at that time. Please follow her directions.
Dr. Loertscher awards no points for completing the SOTES. If you don't fill them in, you will not get your grade immediately after the semester ends. Thus, you need not report that you have completed them, but are urged to do so on your own.
