A Message from Teaching Assessment Processes (TAP)

Students are more likely to see value in providing feedback when they can see how input from previous students has shaped the learning experience they are having today.

Student Course Perceptions (SCP) surveys are now open, giving students an opportunity to reflect on and share feedback about their learning experiences. Student feedback contributes to an ongoing feedback loop in which students share their experiences, instructors reflect on what they learn, and future students benefit from resulting changes and improvements.
