MoCAT (Missouri Cares About Teaching) System for Teaching Evaluations
The single-most effective method of improving end-of-semester student evaluations is through the use of some type of early student feedback on teaching coupled with a consultation on how to use the results gathered from that early feedback.
Early feedback forms look similar to the end of semester course evaluations. One important difference, however, is that early feedback is designed to provide feedback to the faculty member before the class is over. In this way, things that are working well can be continued, while meaningful changes can be implemented for things that aren't going well.
