To collect qualitative data semi-structured interviews were conducted with 16 university teaching staff from a German university. Voluntary sampling method was used to select participants with an intention to learn from SETs. The interviews were audio-recorded, transcribed, and analyzed through open, axial and selective coding. The analysis resulted in a typology of four learning modes centered on a newly introduced category of dealing with negative feedback. This typology does not only expand the theoretical knowledge of learning from SETs but also provide valuable insights into differential learning potentials. %K Student Evaluation of Teachers %K University Teaching Staff %K Grounded Theory %K Modes of Learning from Negative Feedback %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=135971
