Midsemester Feedback for Actionable Course Transformation (MidFACT) : An Evidence-Driven Approach to Enhancing Teaching and Learning

The Midsemester Feedback for Actionable Course Transformation (MidFACT) Report is designed to bridge the gap between student experiences and instructional decisions. Traditional end-of-semester evaluations often come too late for instructors to make meaningful changes that benefit current students. MidFACT addresses this challenge by providing structured midsemester feedback, allowing faculty to understand how students are engaging with the course and where adjustments might enhance their learning experience. This poster introduces MidFACT as a tool that helps instructors make sense of student feedback in a practical and meaningful way. Therefore, by gathering student perspectives on course clarity, engagement, instructor support, and available learning resources, the report provides faculty with a clearer picture of what is working well and what could be improved. This feedback gives instructors the opportunity to refine their teaching approaches, strengthen student-instructor connections, and foster a more supportive learning environment.

Abstract

The Midsemester Feedback for Actionable Course Transformation (MidFACT) Report is designed to bridge the gap between student experiences and instructional decisions. Traditional end-of-semester evaluations often come too late for instructors to make meaningful changes that benefit current students. MidFACT addresses this challenge by providing structured midsemester feedback, allowing faculty to understand how students are engaging with the course and where adjustments might enhance their learning experience. This poster introduces MidFACT as a tool that helps instructors make sense of student feedback in a practical and meaningful way. Therefore, by gathering student perspectives on course clarity, engagement, instructor support, and available learning resources, the report provides faculty with a clearer picture of what is working well and what could be improved. This feedback gives instructors the opportunity to refine their teaching approaches, strengthen student-instructor connections, and foster a more supportive learning environment.
