Sign up for a Mid-Semester Assessment of Teaching (MAT)

The Center for Academic Excellence is pleased to offer the Spring 2023 Mid-Semester Assessment of Teaching (MAT) to all full- and part-time faculty.

MAT Window: February 27 - March 10, 2023

What is an MAT?

An MAT is an informal and confidential way for faculty to get constructive student feedback on student learning and their teaching. MATs are offered midway through a term to provide time to make mid-stream adjustments or improvements based on student input. MATs are conducted during the first or last 20 minutes of a class session. You can request an MAT for a face-to-face or online course.

To schedule an MAT for your course, please complete the MAT request form (below) by Monday, February 20, 2023 (by 12 PM). Note that MATs are limited to one class section per instructor each semester and will occur from February 27 - March 10, 2023. Once signed up, a CAE liaison will follow up with you to schedule:

• The 20-minute class session where your assigned CAE liaison will collect data from your students and;
• A debrief conversation with your assigned CAE liaison outside of class.
