Example of a CIQ Critical Incident Questionnaire Please take about five minutes to respond to the questions below about this week’s class. Do not put your name on the form - your responses are anonymous. If nothing comes to mind for any of the questions just leave the space blank. At the next class, we will share the group's responses with all of you. Thanks for taking the time to do this. What you write will help us make the class more responsive to your concerns. 1. At what moment in class or in doing your homework this week did you feel most engaged as a learner with what was happening? 2. At what moment in class this week did you feel distanced from what was happening as a learner? 3. What action did anyone in class take this week that you found most affirming or helpful? 4. What action did anyone in the class take this week that you found most puzzling or confusing? 5. What surprised you most about class this week? (This could be about your own reactions to what went on, something that someone did or anything else that occurs).
