Mid-Semester Feedback

The feedback will provide teaching staff with opportunities for early intervention if necessary. It also reinforces with your tauira that you take their learning seriously.

Gathering mid-semester feedback allows you to identify both the elements that enhance learning as well as those that may be creating obstacles for your tauira, helping you to improve your teaching. This may also assist you in your Promotion application by providing evidence of your ability to proactively respond and manage any issue raised by tauira within your course to achieve a positive outcome for all.

Suggestion: Plan to gather mid-semester feedback in the week before the mid-semester study break. This will provide you with some time before teaching begins again after the break to give due consideration to the ideas presented and how you can use these as a means towards positive change in your course.

Our Mid-Semester Feedback Checklist and Tip Sheet will help you gain maximum benefit from the feedback process. Make sure your mid-semester feedback questionnaire is set to "anonymous" and "respond once". You may also want to allow tauira to "save/resume answers". 

If you need assistance setting up your mid-semester feedback questionnaire, or would like to discuss how to respond to the mid-semester feedback that you gather, please contact Teaching Quality (Teaching.Quality@lincoln.ac.nz).
