Tips on using formative feedback

Formative feedback can be useful and still necessary for academic advancement and course improvement. Formative feedback can increase student motivation and can help inform your teaching practices. Formative feedback can come from multiple types of classroom interactions and surveys. The feedback will not automatically be shared with your department head but this does not mean that you can't use the feedback you received for tenure and promotion.

If you aren't concerned about tenure and promotion, you can use the feedback received for course improvement or as part of a broader holistic evaluation plan for your course or instruction.

Personalizing your SLEQ to teaching online

Question Personalization (QP) is the process whereby you have the opportunity to add specific questions to the evaluation form. The purpose of these questions would be to gain more information from students to facilitate course or program development, as well as improving your teaching techniques. You can听access this听approximately听two weeks before the SRI evaluation听forms are released to the students.

Now that your class is fully online, you might want to consider asking questions about the new online format. You will receive a link to adding personalized questions and will be able to select up to 6 questions and add them to the SRI forms. We are including the online specific questions here so that you can review and think about what questions you would like to add ahead of time.听

These are just suggested questions that you will be able to select from a list during Question Personalization. You are not required to use these questions, you can always type in your own questions.

NOTE: Instructor added questions are always formative, the results of these questions are never reported to your department head/chair.
