What Can You Learn in a Midcourse Consultation?

Are you curious what you might learn in a midcourse evaluation consultation with a CTE Faculty Teaching Associate? The consultant's objective is to help you meet your teaching goals.

In a pre-consultation you might:
- discuss what is the best way to gather feedback from your students.
- talk through construction of questions.
- run your ideas by someone else.
In a post-consultation you can:
- hear what someone else sees in the responses you received.
- decide on a course of action.
- check your understanding by getting a second opinion.
