This Week for Faculty: Gain Insights Into Your Teaching Practices!
Gain Insights Into Your Teaching Practices
Request a teaching observation to receive feedback
Looking for feedback on your teaching? Request a Teaching Observation! Gain perspective, validate your strengths, and identify areas of your teaching that you would like to work on. The CTL will observe your class and meet with you to share feedback. Our consultants can help you think through your course goals, reflect on your teaching practices that support your students’ learning, and plan manageable next steps to meet your teaching objectives.
Collect feedback from your students
The CTL recommends gathering student feedback at various points within the semester, particularly early and mid-term, to better gauge the student learning experience in your course and identify ways to enhance it. The CTL’s Early and Mid-Semester Student Feedback resource outlines two approaches for collecting feedback from your students: 1) the Start, Stop, Continue method, and 2) a question bank for gathering feedback from students. The CTL is available to consult with you as you design your feedback survey, interpret the data, and address the results with your students.
Experiment With AI Tools
