What is Mid-term Feedback?<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

CELT\u2019s mid-term feedback program provides faculty with student feedback to allow them to make timely adjustments in courses during the semester. Through this voluntary program CELT staff visit classes and, using a research-based protocol, survey the class to elicit feedback. Below is a written description and videos to illustrate the process.<\/span><\/p>\n

Formats:<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

1 – Faculty-Led Mid-Term Feedback (Survey Only) with Optional CELT Support:<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this option, faculty would conduct the midterm feedback process with optional support from CELT. Faculty are responsible for administering the survey and collecting and reviewing responses. CELT can share survey templates and meet with faculty to determine course adjustments.\u00a0 See Teaching@Tufts<\/a> & the CELT website<\/a> for tips about designing a survey.<\/p>\n

2 – CELT-Led Mid-Term Feedback (Survey Only):<\/strong><\/p>\n

In this option, CELT would administer most of the midterm feedback process. Midterm feedback consists of an anonymous survey that students complete individually online. CELT is responsible for designing the survey (with faculty input), collecting and analyzing results, and meeting with faculty to determine course adjustments. Faculty are responsible for sharing the survey with students. VIRTUAL FORMAT.<\/p>\n

3 – CELT-Led In-Class Live Discussion<\/strong>: These may be completed by a student working as a pedagogical partner<\/span><\/p>\n

In this option, CELT would administer a more comprehensive midterm feedback process consisting of both an online survey that students complete individually and an in-class focus group-style discussion that can occur either remotely or in person depending on course modality. CELT will then analyze and prioritize feedback before meeting with faculty to discuss results and determine possible course adjustments. VIRTUAL or FACE-TO-FACE.<\/p>\n

How does<\/strong><\/em>\u00a0<\/strong>a Mid-term Feedback Session Work?<\/strong><\/em><\/span><\/h2>\n

A CELT staff member will meet with your students for about 30 minutes with the faculty member and any TA\u2019s out of the room.\u00a0\u00a0Students will have a chance to respond to these questions individually and in small groups.<\/em><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. What aspects of this course enhance your learning?<\/li>\n
  2. What aspects of this course could be improved?<\/li>\n
  3. What could you (as a student) do to make the course better for your classmates and the teacher?<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    CELT staff members correlate the information and produce an anonymous and confidential report for the faculty member (see sample report<\/a>).\u00a0 CELT staff share the report during a face-to-face or virtual meeting with the faculty member to discuss the results and brainstorm ideas for any changes.\u00a0 CELT also offers consultations <\/a>if you would like to talk with a staff member.<\/p>\n
