SENCER - SALG Pre-test Post-test http://salgsite.org SENCER-SALG provides instructors with useful, formative feedback to faculty interested in improving their teaching. Students rate how much class activities such as lectures, discussions, or labs help their learning. SALG also provides a snapshot of student skills and attitudes at the beginning and end of courses, allowing instructors to gauge the effectiveness of their instruction in specific areas.
