The Office of Faculty Development and Academic Support and Center for Teaching Excellence is offering the mid-semester diagnostic instructional feedback service throughout the fall semester. The service is particularly helpful for junior faculty or graduate teaching assistants who are new to college teaching, senior faculty interested in reexamining and revitalizing teaching strategies, instructors who are teaching a course for the first time or who have just created or revised a course and faculty members who are building a record of teaching development, that can be used in personnel actions such as promotion and tenure decisions or contract renewal. The service includes small group instructional diagnosis, paper and pencil assessment, videotape assessment and classroom observation. The service is conducted at the request of the instructor and treated confidentially by CTE consultants.
