Developmental Emphasis

The main emphasis of the SPOT system is developmental rather than summative. This is reflected by the service being voluntary and confidential with survey items being self-selected. Because of data biasing factors and the resulting possible misinterpretations, we do not generate general comparative data. For developmental purposes it is recommended that you compare results from one semester or year to the next, taking into account your teaching goals, self-evaluation and reflection, and peer comments. Also comparing the profile of responses between items indicates where relative strengths or weaknesses may lie.
