Mid-Semester Feedback Schedule and Additional Question Offer
Dear Faculty,
Mid-semester feedback survey time is fast approaching. With the unusual calendar this spring we are launching the survey a bit later than usual to allow students to form a solid impression of courses.
We can add a course-specific question(s) to the survey for your course if you want feedback from students on something specific to your course – this may be especially relevant this semester with the unusual schedule or if you are trying something new. If you would like to add a question(s), please send me the question by March 1st.
Please encourage your students to fill out the survey so that you receive data that is representative of your class. As usual, we can give you a list of participants in the survey if you want to give students credit.

TA evaluations are run separately by Engineering Learning Initiatives (ELI) and will run from Feb. 23- March 11. If you have a TA for your course, please make sure the students understand that TA feedback is provided on a separate survey from the course mid-semester feedback survey. This is done to enable feedback to be provided to TAs and Faculty in as efficient and timely manner as possible due to the workload of all the steps and the processing needed to send the information to the proper TAs and faculty.
