Collecting student feedback can provide you with valuable input and insight to assess your teaching and your students’ learning. To assist you in this endeavour, Educational Development (ED) offers a number of services and resources. They are listed below.

Services:

1. Design a Feedback Form

Upon request, the Educational Development Manager is available to meet with you to design a feedback tool that meets your specific needs and teaching and learning goals. Contact Jeanette McDonald, Manager of Educational Development, at 519-884-0710 ext. 3211 or by email at jmcdonald@wlu.ca.

2. Administer Feedback Tool and Summarize Data

Upon request, an Educational Development staff member is available to administer your questionnaire and summarize the data. Contact the ED Assistant at ext. 3507 or by email at mneil@wlu.ca.

3. Evaluation Review Consultation

Upon request, we are available to meet with you to review and interpret feedback results (mid-semester tools or the university end-of-term evaluation) and develop a plan of action (e.g., refine presentations skills, revise assessment options, evolve teaching approach).

4. Teaching Behaviours Inventory (TBI)

The TBI is a 60-item tool that collects feedback from students on your teaching. The 60 items are grouped under one of nine categories - clarity, expression, interaction, organization, pacing, disclosure, speech, rapport, and teaching aids. The tool was developed by Dr. Harry Murray, professor emeritus, at the University of Western Ontario.
