Gathering feedback early in the term allows faculty to gauge how the class is progressing, identify concerns, and connect with students. This interactive workshop will cover the value and benefits of collecting early student feedback, best practices for designing survey questions that illicit meaningful responses, and interpreting and using the results to positively impact the remainder of the term. The workshop will also cover techniques for sharing and discussing results with students.

By the end of this workshop, participants will be able to:

• Recognize the value of collecting early feedback and how it can positively influence the class climate.
• Design survey questions for targeted feedback and questions that allow students to voice a wide range of perspectives.
• Identify ways to administer surveys, encourage students to respond, and collect meaningful feedback.
• Interpret results and develop a plan.
• Close the loop with students.
