Arts-Based Feedback: Using Memes for Midterm Evaluations
Taylor, Amanda Grace; Stump, Patrick
Communication Teacher, v37 n3 p182-187 2023
In most higher education institutions, course evaluations are conducted at the end of the term. While many instructors implement a feedback system such as a questionnaire or poll at the midterm point, we propose that having students use an arts-based representation (i.e. memes) for a feedback channel can help students and the course instructor to create community. This activity can be completed in approximately 20 minutes over two class meetings. Not only does this allow students a creative outlet to express their feedback, it also allows instructors to consider common themes that are unique to the individual group and alter current and future classes accordingly. Courses: All/any. Objectives: This activity will allow students the opportunity to (1) evaluate pain points and pivotal moments in a course critically; (2) give the course instructor midterm feedback in a humorous way; and (3) strengthen classroom community by creating a portfolio of memes.
