Are you a Michigan Engineering student instructor who would like to learn more about how the students in your course experience your instruction?

The Engineering Teaching Consultants (ETCs), supported by our team, can help you both learn about students’ experiences and think through strategies to respond to student needs.

By signing up for a midterm student feedback session (MSF), ETCs will gather student perspectives and consult with you about specific improvements for your class.

Our team is here to reflect with you about which teaching methods are working well and to brainstorm ways you could enhance the learning experience for your students.

Results from Michigan Engineering research showed that this process can enhance student ratings and improve faculty teaching practices for new and experienced instructors. Learn more here: https://doi-org.proxy.lib.umich.edu/10.1002/j.2168-9830.2008.tb00989.x
