. ©American Society for Engineering Education, 2025 Adaptive Course Enhancement through Iterative Reflection-Based Intervention DesignIntroductionStudent feedback can shape teaching practices and improve course design [1, 2]. Although manyinstitutions collect student feedback, the pedagogical value of this practice depends on instructors’engagement with the responses [3, 4]. By listening to student feedback, instructors can tailortheir courses to students’ needs, fostering a dynamic and adaptable learning environment. Thetiming and structure of the feedback collection also influence its impact. Mid-semester feedback,for example, allows instructors to adjust courses in real-time, which benefits current and futurestudents [5
