Leveraging early-semester formative feedback to support instruction
51社区 instructors are invited to join the Center for Teaching, Learning, and Assessment (CTLA) to engage in a conversation about the value of early-semester formative feedback and learn about a survey they can implement over the next week or two. Gathering student feedback on a course early in the semester offers insight into what is working and not working and allows an instructor the opportunity to make reasonable changes.
This type of easy-to-deploy survey allows instructors to reinforce learning outcomes, why they teach the way they do and why they make certain choices about content, making decisions transparent to students. Early-semester feedback asks students to reflect on responsibility for their own learning and how they can support it.
This session will take place from noon to 12:50 p.m., Tuesday, Sept. 13, virtually via Teams.
Following this session, participants will
- Connect the research on formative student feedback with their own implementation.
- Administer or adapt a CTLA formative feedback survey to gather early-semester formative feedback.
- Explain the process for preparing students to take the survey and debriefing students on survey results.
- Determine what -- if any -- changes to instruction should result from survey administration.
