Abstract

Students cannot determine the extent to which a pedagogical technique enabled them to successfully complete a course if they are not asked appropriate questions. The content of these questions and responses should enable students and instructors to come to similar conclusions. This means that the “length” of questions and responses will be longer than those in traditional surveys. The student comments tied to more detailed questions followed by more detailed response options, listed from worst to best, demonstrates that students will give constructive feedback. This paper/presentation will focus on the following. • A systematic method that can be used to develop an ascending survey to determine the effectiveness of pedagogical techniques including examples. • The quality of student feedback.
