MAP Process A consultant first meets with the instructor, looks over the course materials, and discusses the instructor's impression of the course. Results are transcribed and analyzed, and materials and recommendations prepared for a follow-up consultation with the professor, usually within the next week. It also presents a more substantive opportunity for student to learn what they think about the course, and to negotiate that knowledge with peers. The group recorders then report out as the CFT consultant records the group's top answers. A rough count is taken of the number of students that agree with each statement.
All paperwork is collected.
Individual handwritten comments are encouraged to provide additional feedback. The results emerge as mathematical scores which are then interpreted in connection with what is known about the course itself, in terms of its context, objectives, materials, etc. Personalized questions about the class may be added. Handwritten comments are typed and analyzed. Home Copyright University of Massachusetts, Amherst .
