Request SET data to use in a project
SET responses are made accessible to the UC San Diego community for specific purposes, including supporting students’ course selection, assisting faculty with course improvement, and contributing to departments’ and programs’ holistic evaluation of teaching effectiveness. The SET data available through the standard UC San Diego SET data access site, are not intended for project or research use. If you need SET data for a project, additional review and approval may be required.
Please use the information below to request access to SET data for project purposes.
Student projects for educational purposes
Faculty and instructors may make requests for Likert-scale SET data (excluding instructor identity) to be used by students in their courses or for independent study projects for educational purposes only by filling out this data request form. If you are a student who wishes to use SET data in an educational project, please contact your instructor/supervisor.
Program improvement
Department chairs and other leadership have access to full reports that may be used for instructional improvement in their department. If you are a faculty member who wishes to gain access to data beyond your course for instructional improvement in coordination with an official department effort, please contact your department chair. If you are a department chair who needs access to additional SET data for your instructional improvement project, please contact set@ucsd.edu.
Education research
Researchers wishing to use SET data for education research must first obtain IRB approval, which should also include FERPA review. Once this approval is obtained, please contact set@ucsd.edu for access to the data.
Researchers may NOT use SET data obtained from any source (including data from their own classes, or data from the UC San Diego SET website) without IRB approval to use this data.
