Do-It-Yourself-Mid-Semester Evaluation

DO-IT-YOURSELF-MID-SEMESTER EVALUATION

Below are sample mid-semester evaluations. With both general and science specific questions,

TAs can construct an explicit evaluation to gauge how students perceive the class at the mid-

point of the semester.

Evaluation Practices

Expect students to spend 5 - 10 minutes completing the evaluation. Let students know their

comments will be used to improve the remaining weeks of the semester.

If you teach a small class, distributing a comprehensive evaluation once during mid semester

may be effective. For larger classes, consider using an on-going evaluation process: for several

weeks in the middle of the semester, ask students one open ended question per class meeting.

This limits the time students spend on questions to 1 or 2 minutes per class and allows you more

time to synthesize feedback & suggestions.
