The field of AI and opinions about how to react to AI in academia are evolving rapidly. In this newly published page, we offer some initial guidance on the impact of AI on teaching and learning at Duke. 

Small Group Instructional Feedback (SGIF) is a formative, mid-course check-in used for gathering information from students on their learning experience. This process is designed to foster dialogue between students and instructors, and to offer students a transparent and thoughtful but anonymous way to surface their concerns about a course. We recommend scheduling your SGIF session in the two weeks before Spring Break, if possible. 

*Eligibility expanded and deadline extended!*
