| Solve a Teaching Challenge |
With a Midcourse Evaluation Consultation |
“Together we developed a strategy for encouraging students to engage and take action to improve their own learning.” (instructor feedback survey comment)
Doing a midcourse evaluation has been shown to enhance instructor-student communication and even improve end-of-course evaluation ratings. To maximize results, request a midcourse evaluation consultation with a CTE Faculty Teaching Associate to talk through student feedback and brainstorm solutions together. Spaces are limited—schedule yours today!
