MIDTERM RESCUE!
Using Midterm Results to Help Students Finish Strong


It's October. The semester is well underway, but something isn't quite right.

Maybe students aren't participating. Maybe exam scores are disappointing. Maybe assignments aren't producing the learning you expected. Or perhaps you're simply exhausted from trying to keep everything moving.

The good news? It's not too late to turn things around.

Join us for the October Adjunct Learning Lab, where we'll explore practical ways to diagnose classroom challenges, re-engage students, and make meaningful course corrections without starting from scratch.

You'll leave with actionable strategies and your own Mid-Semester Rescue Plan to help you finish the semester strong.


During this Lab, you’ll learn:

    • How to make sense of midterm results by identifying what exam scores and student evaluations reveal about the learning experience.
    • Choose small, meaningful adjustments to strengthen student understanding, engagement, and assignment performance.
    • Respond to student feedback with confidence while maintaining clear expectations and academic standards.
    • Create a manageable course correction plan that supports student success without adding hours to your workload.
    • Leave with practical strategies and a clear next step for a stronger finish to the semester.

This Lab is especially for you if…

  • Midterm exam scores were lower than you expected, and you’re wondering how to help students move forward.
  • Student evaluations raised concerns you’d like to address thoughtfully.
  • You’ve noticed a dip in participation, understanding, or assignment quality.
  • You want to make useful adjustments without redesigning your course or adding more to an already full schedule.
  • You’d appreciate a supportive space to work through teaching challenges and leave with a clear plan.
Whether you’re new to teaching or have years of experience, this Lab will help you turn midterm insights into opportunities for a stronger finish.
