Student Evaluation of Teaching instruments (SETs) are a commonly used measurement tool in the neo-liberal university that are applied with a general uniformity across all disciplines in an institution and promise an efficient, relatively straightforward measurement of teaching effectiveness as judged by students. Most questions on SETs are measured on a Likert scale for ease of data collection, with a small number of open-text questions.
