Perceived Teaching Effectiveness (PTE) Schedule for Stateside Courses

The Perceived Teaching Effectiveness (PTE) evaluations for all stateside courses are coordinated by the Office of Faculty Affairs and Development and are administered every fall and spring semester.

How Faculty Can Monitor Participation:

  • Instructors will be notified via email prior to the start of evaluations for 15-week ending courses.
  • Faculty can monitor student participation and response rates throughout the evaluation period via the PTE portal.

Important Notes:

  • Evaluations will be administered online, and students will receive email invitations with a link to the PTE portal sent to their CSUDH Toro email address.
  • Students have access to complete their course evaluations from any desktop computer or mobile devices.
  • Participation is completely anonymous, and all responses are confidential.  
  • Weekly reminder emails will be sent to students up to the last week of classes. Encourage students to check their SPAM folders if they don't see the initial email.
  • The PTE course evaluation reports will be released at the end of the semester after all grades have been submitted.

For Extended Education courses, please direct inquiries to the College of Continuing and Professional Education.
