Students: FAQ and Resources
Frequently Asked Questions
I enjoy feedback…whether it is good, bad or ugly. I look at it as a gift, a tangible item that can be used to help me deliver a better course to my students. Communication is such an integral part of what we do-any barriers that we can eliminate will only enhance the overall effectiveness of teaching. These barriers could range from presentation of materials, to the environment in which it is delivered. Without honest feedback, we have no way of knowing that these barriers exist. Through experience, I have found that the more we measure and track something, the better we will be at improving it. The more feedback that I receive, the closer I can get to providing my students with a life-changing College experience-a great goal to which to aspire.
I use the student feedback to help improve certain aspects of the course, not only to make it more enjoyable, but to create a more effective learning experience. This is only possible if I get an appropriate number of responses from my students; then I know that the evaluations are not skewed by misrepresentation and student bias.
