Conducting Your Own Mid-Semester Assessments of Teaching (MAT)

The CAE’s Mid-Semester Assessments of Teaching (MATs) have proven to be an incredibly valuable way for full-time and part-time instructors to gather feedback from students and make teaching modifications even within the semester that they're conducted. While the CAE continues to offer traditional facilitated MATs, we’d also like to encourage faculty to consider conducting their own MAT at a time that is convenient for their teaching. Therefore, we’re introducing a “do-it-yourself” MAT process that will allow instructors to gather anonymous information from students on their own. Once you review your results, you can also request a consultation with a CAE staff member if you wish to discuss the feedback.

 

Complete instructions for using the CAE's MAT template to create your own student survey can be found at https://fairfield.quip.com/2GO9AwESvabz/Conducting-Your-Own-Mid-Semester-Assessments-of-Teaching-MATs-Using-Microsoft-Forms. If you have any problems setting up your own form from our template, please contact us at cae@fairfield.edu. And let us know if we can assist you in thinking through your MAT results!
