We give students extensive feedback about their writing during the semester. How can we elicit constructive feedback from students about our teaching?

The Center for Advancement of Teaching and Learning offers:

• Midterm student focus groups
• Classroom observations
• Videotaped analysis

The College Writing Program offers:

• Classroom observations
• One-on-one and small-group conversations about teaching writing
• Support for classroom visit partnerships

Faculty can:

• Give students extra prompts to complete with the Student Evaluation of Teaching forms. (Responses can be collected with the forms.)
• Ask a colleague to administer the evaluations and to frame the evaluations with a request for constructive feedback.
• Conduct Scholarship of Teaching and Learning projects focused on learning more about specific aspects of teaching/student learning.
• Collaborate with students on Student Voices projects.
