Mid-semester feedback

Keep Students Engaged

Most students have opinions about your class, and will freely share them if asked. This keeps them involved and engaged.

Schedule a mid-semester feedback session with us! We have streamlined the whole process so it takes around 15 minutes, and uses the student's own smartphone or computer.

Course Evaluations Spreadsheet Questions

Make Course Corrections

With traditional end-of-course evaluations, it is too late to adjust the course to improve the student learning experience for that semester.

Through mid-semester feedback, you have an opportunity to incorporate their ideas and suggestions for improvement. They will see that their feedback leads to an improvement in their own learning experience and thus respond more favorably on end-of-course evaluations.

Survey Questions

Mid-semester feedback surveys allows instructors to ask a wide range of questions. For convenience, the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence has compiled a list of Required Questions--those asked of ALL respondents.

In addition, instructors are welcome to pick and choose questions from the lists below when requesting a mid-semester feedback survey. Or they can create completely different questions.

In order to maximize the effectiveness of the surveys, please keep the total number of questions to 15-25. This increases the chances that students will provide meaningful and substantive responses.
