1. Student feedback collected during the semester can help you understand if students are learning and grasping what you are trying to teach.

2. It can give you first hand information on the success of a particular educational goal, e.g. a new teaching strategy.

3. It can confirm and validate the effectiveness of the work you have invested into your classroom teaching.

4. Collecting student feedback during the course can prevent the frustration of feedback at the end of the course that says it was “disappointing” by allowing you to address issues as they occur.

5. Student feedback can make students feel more invested in the course as it shows that the teacher values their opinions.

6. Another major benefit of collecting student feedback during the course is that you can collect the kind of specific feedback you may want from your students.
