CTL - Mid-Semester Student Feedback

Mid-Semester Student Feedback
Opportunity for your Classes

Would you appreciate some student feedback on your course(es) before the end of the semester?

Would you like some feedback that goes only to you and is neither used as evaluation nor placed in your personnel file?

If you answered yes to either of these questions, then here's an opportunity you may be interested in.

When an instructor takes a few minutes in the middle of a semester to solicit input from students on how well they think a course is going, their responses constitute mid-semester student feedback. At the Center for Teaching and Learning at Colorado State University, we have developed a formal procedure for soliciting this information from students.

You may have specific concerns about some aspect of the teaching/learning process or you may simply wish to get a general sense of student feeling about the course. Either way, the feedback is for YOUR use only. It is not provided for others to evaluate your instruction, and it will not go into your personnel file. Unlike the end-of-the-course evaluation, this feedback comes to you while there is still time to make changes.

For students, mid-semester feedback offers an opportunity to reflect upon their classroom experience. After participating in a feedback session, students may be better able to articulate their concerns and appreciation to you.
