SMALL GROUP INSTRUCTIONAL DIAGNOSIS
A consultant from CTE will visit a class for 50-75 minutes and, without the instructor being present, ask the students
three questions about the class: 1) what has helped them learn, 2) what has made learning difficult, and 3) what
suggestions do they have for change. Small groups of students discuss and answer these questions. The consultant meets with
the instructor and passes on this information.

PAPER & PENCIL ASSESSMENT
CTE will provide a master copy of comment forms (with the above three Small Group questions) which can be duplicated and distributed to your class. Students anonymously answer questions on what is going well with the course of what may need clarification or improvement. The instructor should review the forms and look for key comments or student consensus. A session could then be scheduled to review and discuss the results. Forms may be delivered to the Center for Teaching Excellence for compilation to assure anonymity.
