Microaggressions Activity

This matching and discussion activity helps participants recognize how different audiences can interpret language and microaggressions and understand the implications of speech. Participants are asked to identify and interpret microaggressions and have an opportunity to modify questions or comments in ways that are less likely to reflect stereotypic assumptions and beliefs. Additional discussion questions expand the activity by prompting reflection. Created as a student activity by Professor Mary Kite, and her students LaCount "JJ" Togans, LaDeidre Robinson, and Kelly Lynn Meredith at Ball State University.

Midsemester Class Interviews_Desc and Form

The Midterm/Midsemester Class Interview (or Small Group Instructional Diagnosis, SGID) is a process designed to help instructors learn what their students think about how the course is going. Students identify elements of the class that are helping them learn and offer suggestions to strengthen the course. We recommend using this procedure in the middle of the semester, after students have received at least one grade. The process involves three steps: 1) meeting with an instructional consultant to discuss the instructor's objectives for the process; 2) a class interview with small groups and a whole class discussion; and a post-interview summary and discussion of the results with the consultant.
