It’s Time to Schedule a Midcourse Consultation |
As we approach the third week of the semester, it’s a good time to plan a midcourse evaluation to get student feedback on your course. Visit the CTE Midcourse Evaluation page to access tools and resources for conducting the evaluation; then sign up for a consultation (before collecting the feedback data, after collecting, or both) with a CTE Faculty Teaching Associate (FTA) to help you interpret the data and make formative changes to achieve your learning goals.
|
Benefits of a midcourse consultation include:
|
- Learning new strategies to engage with your students.
- Finding out how effective your teaching practices are.
- Seeing your course through different eyes.
