Instructors and programs, just like students, should continually assess themselves in order to grow and improve. Instructors use a midterm assessment to gather feedback from students while there is still an opportunity to make changes in a course. All instructors use a standard course evaluation form at the end of the term. Both the qualitative and quantitative feedback from students are used in instructor performance reviews and in assessing the overall effectiveness of departmental courses. In addition, you may be asked to administer pre- and posttests to your class as a part of ISUComm’s ongoing assessment of its curriculum.
