Mid-Course Feedback

With the halfway mark of the spring semester approaching, consider setting aside some class time to gather mid-course feedback. This feedback can be helpful when implementing new teaching approaches as well as when teaching newly designed courses. By asking students for feedback, you not only empower them to take an active role in their learning but also demonstrate that you value their input, which can increase the overall satisfaction and engagement levels in the class.

CITLS has developed a Mid-Course Feedback Question Bank that instructors can use to create their own survey. The resource contains both a question bank and a Google Forms template for a mid-course feedback survey as well as instructions on how to modify and add questions to suit the needs of individual courses.
