Students are active contributors, valuable partners, and critical members of the learning community in our classrooms.
They can provide:
- A variety of perspectives and experiences
- Feedback on teaching decisions and course structure
- Indicators of progress towards course learning objectives
Checking in with your students during the term can provide valuable information for making in-term adjustments and for future changes.
