Assessment: Classroom Assessment Techniques (CATs) and Informal Student FeedbackIntroduction
CATs and other informal student feedback techniques are formative assessment methods that help an instructor monitor learning throughout the semester. They answer questions such as "Was my teaching effective?" or "What is still confusing students?" or “How can I improve the teaching and learning in this course?” Informal feedback techniques are especially useful for providing information for improvement when appropriate learning is not occurring.
