What is a Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID)?
 
Also commonly known as Mid-Term Feedback, SGID is a confidential method that uses small group discussion among students to provide learning feedback to the instructor.
 
The process takes about 30 minutes with the faculty member out of the classroom on a scheduled day.
 
Once an SGID is requested a CTE colleague will visit the class and ask students to respond to three questions:
 
1. What aspects of this course ENHANCE your learning?
2. What aspects of this course can be IMPROVED?
3. What could YOU (as a student) do to make the course better for your classmates and the teacher?
 
The CTE staff will then correlate the information and produce a confidential report for the teacher. The CTE Director then meets with the participating faculty to discuss the results and brainstorm ideas for the class.
 
Research has shown that faculty who conduct mid-course feedback and have a consultation raise their teaching evaluations and improve learning.
