  • CITL Small Group Instructional Diagnostic Opportunity

    CITL Small Group Instructional Diagnostic Opportunity

    Small Group Instructional Diagnostic (SGID) Consultations are now available for Fall 2021! You can book your session any time between October 13-22, 2021. A Small Group Instructional Diagnostic (SGID) is a simple and straightforward evaluation process that uses structured small group discussions among students to provide confidential feedback to the instructor around the midpoint of a term. The benefit of incorporating a SGID into your course is that it allows you to receive feedback before the end of the term, so you can begin making adjustments. Don’t miss this opportunity to get feedback on your course and improve your end of course IDEA student evaluations.
