Want feedback on your teaching from your own students?
The Mid-Semester Interview about Teaching, or MIT, is a mid-semester evaluation technique that provides instructors useful feedback from their students about their learning in a course. This Pew FTLC service involves a member of our staff visiting a class, interviewing students, and reporting back to the instructor. Conducted during the 4th to 9th week of the semester, the MIT takes 30 minutes of class time wherein a consultant guides a three-step feedback process. First, students are asked to respond individually to two questions:
- What are the major strengths of this course? What is helping you learn?
- What changes would you make in this course to assist you in learning?
MITs are limited to one per semester for each faculty member. Requests accommodated based on consultant availability and on a first-come, first served basis. For more information, check out our webpage on MITS.
