Focus Groups
The CFDE offers services that will assist departments and units in their assessment of curriculum and departmental cultures, learning goals, and teaching methods.
We can help you in the assessment of your department in two ways:
1. Conduct an in-person focus group of undergraduates or graduate students (or both) and provide you with a summary report of the findings. The questions for these focus groups will be developed in collaboration with you (and other representatives of your department if need be).
2. Develop an online survey using Survey Monkey and administer the survey to students in your department. The responses will be provided to you (maintaining the confidentiality of your students) along with a summary report prepared by the CFDE.
You may also choose to capture the largest number of students possible and use the online survey to capture those students that are unable to attend an in-person focus group.
For more information on setting up a focus group and/or online survey for your department, please contact Dr. Donna Troka at dtroka@emory.edu or call 404-727-5791.
