Midterm Course Feedback

Early student feedback can provide insights for improving teaching and learning. Using feedback to implement change can increase student engagement and create a sense of belonging. Conducting midterm surveys, and acting on the results, has a positive impact on end-of-term feedback and response rates, improves student(s) perception of the course, and allows students to practice giving feedback.

Midterm course surveys are designed to be formative in nature, and results are only shared with instructors. Our Teaching Consultants can assist you with interpreting results and developing a course of action.

You can request a midterm survey for your course by going to your teaching survey dashboard between Sept. 6-Oct. 13.
