Student Feedback Collection

Student listening in class

Assistance is available to collect instructional feedback from your students on things such as how to improve your course or how you’re connecting with your students. A feedback session lets students know that you’re interested in their ideas and can be very motivational.  Conducting a feedback session usually takes about 20 minutes and is best conducted mid-way through the semester. All results are completely confidential.
