The purpose of the Policy on the Student Evaluation of Teaching in Courses is to outline the principles and parameters that guide the evaluation of courses at the University of Toronto. The specifics of how the course evaluation process will be structured and administered in particular contexts will be outlined in the Provostial Guidelines for the Student Evaluation of Teaching in Courses. The Provostial Guidelines and the course evaluation policy, in addition to divisional guidelines on course evaluation, form an institutional framework for the evaluation of courses.
