“Considerable research shows that gathering feedback throughout the term allows an instructor to improve even very challenging classes, strengthen student learning, enhance student motivation, and positively alter student attitudes toward the instructor and course, as reflected in end-of-term student ratings” (Cohen, 1980; Fabry et al., 1997; Hamilton et al., 2002; Hampton & Reiser, 2004; Kreutzer, 1993; L’Hommedieu et al., 1990; Marincovich, 1999; Overall & Marsh, 1979; Rando & Lenze, 1994; Svinicki, 2001; as cited in Davis, 2009, p. 461).
