Student Feedback: Information That Makes a Difference*

When you are a new instructor with us, you will receive a student feedback packet during the first two terms you teach for Community Learning. What follows is information on how to handle those packets.

1. Conduct the student feedback during your last class session.

2. Present Student Feedback forms to the class and ask for open, honest responses that are to be anonymous. Tell them to supply their contact information if they would like a response from our office.

3. Ask for a volunteer to distribute the forms and collect them when completed.

4. Leave the room while students are completing the feedback forms.

5. Have the volunteer collect the forms and place them in the envelope provided. You may read the surveys for helpful information prior to sealing the envelope.

6. Put them in the mail immediately following the class, using the enclosed envelope (postage prepaid). Please do not ask a student to mail the envelope.

Every attempt is to be made to secure open and honest feedback without pressuring the student.

Your programmer will contact you with a summary of each feedback survey.

After the first two feedback forms are completed, contact your programmer if you would like to pursue addtional feedback.
