Early Course Evaluations to Improve Learning & Teaching, 12:15pm - 1:15pm, Thursday, January 26, 2017
Getting student feedback early in the term has many benefits: it can allow you to identify problems that might otherwise be invisible to you and gives you an opportunity to engage your students in a discussion about how things are going. You will learn about different types of midterm evaluations and craft specific questions for your course. This workshop intended only for faculty teaching this term. This session will be facilitated by Erin DeSilva and Adam Nemeroff (Educational Technologies).
Lunch will be provided at Noon, please register for this workshop here: http://libcal.dartmouth.edu/event/3051430
