Midsemester Feedback
Gathering feedback from students is a great way to find out what's working in your class and what could use some improvement. Although it is important to collect student feedback throughout the course, midsemester is a popular time to do a more formal assessment, as students should be familiar enough with the course environment to comment on it. It also gives instructors time to make reasonable adaptations to the course that will benefit the current students. We recommend these surveys for feedback collection.
Survey options:
- Students' Evaluation of Educational Quality (SEEQ)
This standardized, validated survey can be completed in class (using specialized scan forms that can be ordered from us) or online. We provide a statistical report of the feedback and a guide to analyzing SEEQ results. - Student Assessment of Learning Gains
This flexible online survey is sponsored by the Wisconsin Center for Educational Research and allows you to choose an instrument constructed for a course similar to yours and modify it for your particular course. It also has an area for open-ended questions. The survey is delivered to students online and the sponsors provide a statistical report of the results. - Customized feedback
With a small class, you can produce a completely custom measure the old fashioned way by creating a paper survey. Here are a few more examples. Contact us at site@psu.edu for additional information. - ANGEL
Built-in tools, such as the polling tool or the survey tool, allow you to create a custom feedback instrument in the ANGEL environment.
