Seek out student feedback to make your classroom more inclusive. Your most vocal students may ask for help, but surveys help you hear from the rest of the class in their own words. What works for them? Where are they struggling?>

Formative Evaluation

We recommend soliciting feedback from students mid-semester; minor adjustments midway through the course can yield significant gains in your students' learning and sense of agency. Follow the links below to find a format that fits your class and teaching style.

Summative Evaluation

At the end of most courses, students receive a link to a course evaluation survey in their email. As of Fall 2023, the Teaching and Learning Center expects course evaluation questions to be very similar to those in this draft.

After the end of the semester, you will be able to access student evaluations through Self-Service.
