SayPro Task 3: Administer surveys to students and instructors to gather feedback on how well the curriculum addresses shifting student needs and how easily it adapts to new teaching methods.

SayPro Step 1: Define the Survey Objectives

• Objective: To collect feedback from students and instructors on the curriculum’s ability to meet changing student needs and its flexibility to incorporate new teaching methods (e.g., technology, active learning, hybrid learning).
• Outcome: Identify strengths and weaknesses in the curriculum’s ability to adapt, with specific focus on new teaching methods and student needs.

SayPro Step 2: Design the Surveys

Create two separate surveys: one for students and one for instructors. Each survey should be tailored to the specific group’s perspective, addressing how the curriculum supports their needs and adapts to emerging teaching trends.
