"This book is about using the Small Group Instructional Diagnosis (SGID) method to make improvements to the educational experience in mid-course. The idea is to use this structured interview process to involve students in helping faculty improve a course while they are in it, potentially making a difference for themselves as well as for future students. Faculty gain the opportunity to work on a course before it ends, and can see what changes work without waiting for the next time the course is offered, or the end of semester student evaluations"-- Provided by publisher.
