The idea of ongoing feedback is relatively non-controversial, but hard to implement in courses. Unless, of course one wishes to seek feedback. Many ways to do it if one is determined. Glad to see it reported and trending.

Like a growing number of academics, Mr. O'Connell asks students to evaluate his teaching midcourse rather than waiting for feedback at the end of the term. That means he can make adjustments, which can bolster student learning and also satisfaction.
More and more professors are using midterm student evaluations, experts
say, and more and more colleges are strongly urging their faculty to
collect student feedback midway through their courses. Stony Brook this
year put in place a universitywide online system for collecting
midcourse feedback. Professors and students are not required to use it,
but university officials are hoping that both groups will see its
benefits and use it to improve classrooms.
