Classroom Observation
Observation of classroom teaching with confidential feedback (general comments on classroom activities or feedback on specific areas requested).
Classroom Videotaping
Faculty report that they learn a lot by watching themselves from the perspective of their students. Confidential consultation and feedback is also available.
Teaching Learning Website
A robust website designed for faculty with information, resources, links, an online newsletter, the National Teaching & Learning Forum and much more designed to enhance and inform teaching and learning.
Informal Classroom Assessment Techniques
Informal Classroom Assessment Techniques (CAT) provide feedback during the semester about student learning, their attitudes regarding the material being covered, and/or their reactions to the teaching methods and activities used in class. CATs provide short, non-graded anonymous feedback with the goal of improving instruction rather than assigning grades. Even experienced faculty will gain new insight from these simple techniques.

Formative (in process) Feedback
Mid-quarter is a great time to find out how things are going in class. Feedback forms are available from TLC or a staff member will be happy to assist.
Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID)
A very effective strategy for gathering information in a timely manner is to set aside 20-30 minutes of class time for a SGID. A facilitator will meet to discuss questions designed to gather student feedback. The facilitator meets with the class without the faculty member present and gathers feedback through an interview process. SGID has been proven to defuse many problems early in the quarter.
