Instructors may want to gauge how students are doing to make adjustments. A great way to obtain direct input is by collecting informal mid-term feedback. For more information, visit this website.
Forestry Teaching & Learning Support Team created an automated check-in survey for our students. To use the survey, instructors can post this link to Canvas or email it to the class. The survey results for your particular course will be emailed to you during the week of March 13.

A reminder to note the importance of being flexible with our students when they face hardships and illness. See this file for guidelines and more information, particularly with regard to supporting singular (one incident) vs. more recurring medical issues.
