- Set up and finalise an institutional contract agreement.
- Ensure respective institutional requirements regarding ethical clearance for research projects are adhered to.
- Determine which modules at your institution you want to administer SASSE in.
- Determine the best time during the semester to administer SASSE, preferably during the 6th or 7th week after the specific module started.
- Decide on up to 8 additional questions to be added to the survey for customisation for your specific module (optional).
- Plan and implement a marketing strategy to ensure sufficient participation of students in the surveys.
- Receive links to the survey to distribute among student/staff population.
- Surveys are administered for approximately 2 weeks, with weekly updates on participation numbers and the option to extend the deadline depending on the participation rate of students.
- Analysis of the survey data is done by the engagement team and reports are provided.
- Results discussed with lecturer(s) involved to identify activities to implement to address possible gaps between the lecturer(s) and the students.
