What do we learn from formative feedback? A comparison of weekly reflection surveys to a midterm survey in a graphical communication course

Presented at Engineering Design Graphics Division (EDGD) Technical Session 2

The authors report on a pedagogical feedback strategy employed in a first-year engineering graphics course, which implemented a flipped classroom model for self-regulated learning. Class time was reserved for activities and content clarifications. To encourage self-regulated learning and just-in-time teaching modifications, students completed a weekly mixed methods survey in the fall semester of 2022. Over each semester, 12 weeks of student data were collected. To further understand students’ concerns and capture potentially different voices, an anonymous midterm survey was administered by the Center of Teaching and Learning Excellence (CTLE) in the middle of the fall semester of 2022. A comparison of weekly reflection surveys to the midterm survey offered the instructor an opportunity to further understand the effectiveness of weekly reflection surveys and identify how to use weekly reflection surveys more efficiently.
