Faculty can receive feedback on teaching
It’s not too late to make plans to use the SGID (Small Group Instructional Diagnosis) method for receiving midterm feedback from students in your classes. The SGID process, facilitated by a trained faculty colleague, is a method of soliciting student perceptions about the progress of their learning. Since it is conducted by an outsider to your class, students are free to be direct, but since it is normally done around mid-semester, you receive the feedback at a time when there is still ample opportunity for you to consider any changes that might improve student learning. The SGID process is flexible enough to be used with both large and small classes, and yields information likely to be useful to both beginning and experienced faculty.
For more information about the SGID process, see UND.edu/academics/instructional-development/student-feeback.cfm or if you would like to request an SGID, contact Jana Diemert at 777.4998 or jana.diemert@UND.edu.
