Educational research suggests that mid-semester feedback sessions can lead to better instructor evaluations at the end of the semester. Seeking student input shows students that you are engaged and care.
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.
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.

Mid-semester feedback surveys allow instructors to ask a wide range of questions. For convenience, the Center for Advancing Faculty Excellence has compiled a list of required questions that are asked of all participants.
Instructors are also welcome to add additional questions that relate directly to their course. To maximize the effectiveness of the surveys, please keep the total number of questions to 20-25. This increases the chances that students will provide meaningful and substantive responses.
The following questions are asked of all respondents on the following scale:
Consistently / Often / Sometimes / Rarely / Never / Not Applicable
