Abstract

We present a proactive anonymous feedback based adaptive teaching for enhancing student learning for engineering courses. Most of the time, students are reluctant to ask questions or ask instructor to revisit the topic which was already covered. In traditional teaching, there is no immediate anonymous feedback mechanism for each topic or class to notify the instructor about topics which are not clear to students. In this presentation, we discuss a proactive anonymous feedback approach that we implemented in many courses in different semesters to illustrate the effectiveness of the proposed approach. We present numerical results obtained from surveys and feedback conducted by the instructor, departments and students independently.
