Mid-Course Survey

—

October 4, 2018

Below are the questions associated with the “Mid-Course survey” deployed in the middle of the semester/term. The survey is used to gather information on how the class is progressing from the students’ perspectives. The five (5) questions are seeking feedback on what the students are enjoying about the course, what is helping them learn the material, gathering their interest in the course topic outside of the class, and asks what the fellow students and professor/facilitator can do to improve the class.

  1. List three things that you have particularly enjoyed or found helpful in this class.
  2. Identify two aspects of this course that have helped you learn the course material.
  3. Has this course stimulated your interest in the subject outside of class? (Explain) 
  4. What can your fellow students do to improve this class? 
  5. What can the professor/facilitator do to improve this class?  

By utilizing this survey, you can see if the students are enjoying the course or having trouble, aspects of the course they find useful in learning the material, their interest level in the topic and how they feel their classmates and the facilitator/professor can improve the course. The survey provides a formative assessment that provides the facilitator/professor with information that can be used to adjust the course to better meet the learning needs of the students.
