What are your students really thinking? In this episode, we discuss CTLT Director Claire Lamonica’s new research into Midterm Chats, also known as Small Group Instructional Diagnoses. She provides a preliminary look at how faculty members at Illinois State believe this form of evaluation improves their teaching. Also, Claire and Jim talk about the importance of making little changes, instead of wholesale revision, to one’s teaching.
