Getting feedback from your students throughout the semester provides you with multiple checks on the student experience and helps you to determine how to adjust your course to better meet their needs. A two-way communication channel about what is and is not working can help you to connect with your students and create a positive classroom climate. The mid-point of the semester is a critical time for continued student success. While studies have shown that student ratings might not correlate with learning and success in future courses, mid-term student feedback overcomes many challenges and offers several benefits.
