Summary of Student Evaluations

I have been teaching for quite a few years at this stage of my career, and realize the importance of student feedback and how I can leverage it to make the classroom experience positive. I carefully review the evaluations that I receive from students in my course and use it to improve my course structure and my teaching style for the future.

When I reviewed my student evaluations, it seems that I am a clear communicator who is easily approachable. Students appreciate my enthusiasm in the classroom regarding the course material. This energy carries over and makes them excited to learn new concepts. I am respectful of my students and accommodating in situations as needed. Here are my key strengths and weaknesses:

Strengths

• Communication and  clarity of presentation

• Effective use of teaching aids in the classroom 

• Subject knowledge and enthusiasm

• Feedback and responsiveness

Weaknesses

• Course-material clarity

• Pacing of instruction

• Assessments and their alignment with lectures

Plan for Improvement

I am outlining what I have done to improve on the weaknesses and to make sure that my courses are improving every time I iterate on them.

• Revised my course materials to make them more accessible. This involved re-making lecture videos, and re-designing slides and in-class assignments.

• Re-organizing course materials within Canvas and WAMAP shells, so things are intuitive to discover and easier to interact with.

• I am in the process of  going over all of my course videos to make sure that they align with the problems that they are linked with.

• Revisiting my quizzes and tests and comparing them to my practice assessments and lecture materials to improve their alignment.
