teaching with writing

when and how to involve students in course feedback

Feedback solicited at mid-semester (between weeks four and seven) allows instructors to address student concerns immediately and to continue activities that are obviously effective.  Doing so can increase student motivation and involvement in the writing elements of a “content” course.

Mid-Semester Feedback: Operating Instructions

Feedback solicited at the end of the semester can helpfully inform the design of future courses.  The items offered on this form could be added in the “optional” section of SET form C and tabulated by OMS, or the form can be filled out separately and offered directly to the instructor.
