Student Feedback Collection

Assistance is available to collect instructional feedback from your students on things such as how to improve your course or how you’re connecting with your students. A feedback session lets students know that you’re interested in their ideas and can be very motivational. Conducting a feedback session usually takes about 20 minutes and is best conducted mid-way through the semester. All results are completely confidential.

Classroom Observations

Alternately, you may arrange a classroom observation at any time that is convenient for you. I will observe unobtrusively and then meet with you to provide feedback, answer any questions you might have, and discuss and explore new teaching strategies. All results are completely confidential.
