I was really pleased with my student evaluations. 100% of my students strongly agreed that they would recommend me and my class!
Many of my in-person students commented that I was enthusiastic, passionate about the learning material, and caring. This positive feedback was very meaningful to me because I definitely want my students to feel cared for and to recognize how passionate I am about the content I teach. When my in-person students were asked to share advice for future students, many of them said to show up to class and participate. We do quite a few labs and in-person activities in my classes, so I was pleased that my students recognized the value of what we do during class.
Many of my online students commented about the support I provided and my willingness to help. I was touched by their positive feedback because I really strive to connect with my online students and demonstrate that I am a "real person" who cares about their success.
My students provided some very useful insight to help me improve my classes. One student in HES100 suggested adding yoga as an option in the stress management unit. I loved the idea, so I prepared a brief yoga tutorial that my students can complete as one of their stress management activities. Another suggestion was to use a platform other than softchalk. I agree that softchalk is difficult to use and I found that it was not accessible from my phone. Softchalk is an online platform that was originally implemented to organize the modules and make them look shorter and less intimidating. As an alternative, I created content pages with tabs in Canvas, which allowed us to include multiple lessons on a single content page. This way, the information is organized, the modules look manageable, and all of the content can remain in Canvas where it is easily accessible.
