The Student Assessment of their Learning Gains (SALG) website allows instructors to gather learning-focused feedback from students. The SALG survey asks students to rate how each component of a course (e.g., textbook, collaborative work, labs) helped them to learn, and to rate their gains toward achieving the course goals. The SALG survey can be customized to fit any college-level course, and can be administered multiple times per course. A baseline instrument allows faculty to compare gains relative to incoming student characteristics.
Once registered on the SALG site, you can:
* customize the SALG survey to fit your course goals and methods;
* search for an existing SALG survey in your discipline;
* have students complete the survey on-line; and,
* download and review analyses of the students' responses.
