FLEX results should be used as part of a holistic approach to teaching feedback and evaluation (see the Office of the Provost website for teaching feedback and evaluation for additional information and guidance). For example, a department might combine FLEX results with peer observations of teaching and an instructor’s own reflections on their teaching to help an instructor’s mentor recommend areas of improvement to an instructor. FLEX results should not be used as a stand-alone evaluation of teaching.

A campus task force is being formed by the provost to recommend other potential uses for FLEX results such as providing summaries of student ratings to students during registration.
