Doing course evaluations around the midterm is not required, but many faculty find it very useful to assess student learning and make tweaks during the semester than can improve the course for both instructor and students. These take many forms, including “take out a piece of paper …”
You can also find a few simple digital templates by logging into Microsoft Forms (just click the “duplicate it” button, make any changes you’d like & share the link with your students):
Please note: there will be no midterm evaluations available on CoursEval in Spring 2020.
Or you may use a basic 3-question survey on CoursEval (the same system we use for end-of-semester course evaluations, though midterm surveys are only for personal use). To request this midterm eval, please email Cyn Bernardy (cbernardy@wooster.edu) with your course name and number (including Section #, such as Africana Women’s Theatre in 21st Century AFST 24800).
You will be notified as soon as your Midterm Survey is set-up. At which point, you will need to send this link to your student roster(s): https://courseval.wooster.edu/etw/ets/et.asp?nxappid=WCQ&nxmid=start&li=r
