Midterm Progress Survey Available
The Fall 2025 Midterm Progress Survey is available for faculty in Starfish through Thursday, Oct. 30. This is a great opportunity to support and motivate students. Faculty are encouraged to use the survey to send kudos to acknowledge strong performance, reinforce positive habits and encourage students to finish the semester strong. The survey also allows faculty to raise flags of concern for students who may be in danger of failing, who might benefit from withdrawing or who are facing specific academic challenges. Each kudos and flag message includes the option to add additional content, with two templates fully open to personalize messages. All message templates can be viewed in Starfish D2L. If you have any questions, please email starfish@kutztown.edu, call 610-683-4106 or join an Starfish Express Workshop.
