Mid-term Student Feedback

Mid-semester student feedback is a teaching assessment technique designed to elicit formative feedback from students during the semester, when it can be acted on to improve the course and students’ learning. Gathering student feedback at mid-semester is optimal for an instructor to get the pulse of the course––to find out what students are thinking about the instructor, the course material, and their own learning–– when it is not too late to make adjustments if necessary. Students’ appreciate the instructors’ concern about their learning and the opportunity to express their responses to the course.
