I find formative course evaluations provide the instructor with opportunities to adjust the course to meet students’ needs. Student needs have changed for me every semester and I like to discover this at the start of the semester by exploring learning styles. Once piece of advice that I found valuable, and I plan to incorporate, is online instructors should ask students approximately every 3-5 weeks what they would like the instructor to stop doing, start doing, and continue to do to help me run the course more efficiently.
