Student voice has been captured below as my university courses transitioned from face-2-face instruction to virtual instruction. All comments were written on university course evaluation instruments.
"Dr. Cano make herself available and encouraged open communication. She holds her students to the same standards she holds herself and is always open to helping students." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Dr. Cano is amazing. The course for me was hard and fast-paced; but that is completely separate from the instructor and the instructor mode. Math in general is a very difficult skill for me. In fact, I chose this course over the other professor because this was asynchronous." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Asynchronous is the best option for me based off my schedule and my health. I enjoyed that the field experience observations could've been completed online. Dr. Cano is 100% 5/5 star professor for this course mode." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Nicest professor ever. She teaches her course in a very engaging way I wouldn't change a thing about it. She is a great professor." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Excellent course. Very organized and relatable to my major. You are awesome Dr. Cano". - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Professor Cano was always accessible and followed course guidelines set at the beginning of the semester very well. I appreciated how understanding and encouraging she was throughout the semester. The activities promoted critical thinking and serve as ideas to use in our own math classrooms in the future." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"BEST asynchronous course I have taken. The Blackboard shell was extremely well organized and easy to navigate. Thursday zoom sessions with Dr. Cano provided helpful touchpoints and lent some humanity/interaction with the teacher that added a lot to the experience." - UHCL Student Fall 2021
"Dr. Cano was amazing at communication! She is hands down one of the only professors that actually responded to emails and questions in a timely manner. She always included great resources in her modules so that the course content was easy to comprehend. I also really appreciate the fact that she posted video recordings of any meetings that other students may have missed. She's very empathetic to everything going on these days and does her best to work with you. She also posts detailed feedback on pretty much everything she graded which helped A LOT. Really enjoyed this class!" - UTA Student Spring 2021
"This course was unlike any other course I have experienced. I enjoyed the layout and found that it was very easy and straight forward to complete. I found the small activities we turned in to be useful and have kept them as resources for once I am a classroom teacher. Dr. Cano is very caring and flexible professor, I would love to have the opportunity to have her again." - UTA Student Spring 2021
"Professor was really about her students. She made sure to post answers for us to study after we posted our work. She also make sure that we re-turned in work to make a better grade and grasp the material better. In addition, she held meetings to clear any confusing questions if needed." - UTA Student Spring 2021
"Dr. Cano made online learning actually very fun! She provided videos, examples, and resources for all of our lessons. Her lessons were not just in person lessons we had to submit online; but actual lessons that were meant to help the student learn in a virtual setting through practice and using resources." - UTA Student Spring 2021
"It helped that the videos Dr. Cano put in the modules, she was in them and actually teaching us, rather than posting and not giving further instruction. She is also fair, flexible, understanding, and easy to get in contact with." - UTA Student Spring 2021
"She was amazing in giving us multiple learning opportunities. Always great and being attentive and responding and I actually felt I learned and was care for in this course. I really appreciated the professor." - UTA Student Spring 2021

"[Dr. Cano] always responded to my emails and messages very promptly and was available often to ask questions. This class was very clearly laid out and followed the schedule given. Out of all of the classes that I have taken this semester, this was my favorite". - UHCL Student Fall 2020
"This was a highly organized class with lots of resources for students. The course load and amount of information was heavy, although this is to be expected from a methods class. While I did occasionally feel a bit overwhelmed by the amount of content, it was all too valuable for my future. Thank you Dr. Sondra!" - UHCL Student Fall 2020
"Overall, the materials were well broken up into weekly sections. This made the class easier to understand and follow, as the topic stayed in one subject per week. I learned about math in an easy to understand manner, and it felt like many of the quizzes were on point with the materials". - UTA Student Fall 2020
"I really appreciate that Professor Cano provided us with the appropriate resources to learn our units. Although we didn't have class sessions, she provided mini lesson videos that we could view in our own timing which helped me a lot since I have a hectic schedule". - UTA Student Fall 2020
"It was very interesting being able to see just how interesting, enlightening, and fun math can be and this course along with the guidance of my professor, Sondra Cano, I was able to feel confident in teaching mathematics and really influenced my willingness to excitedly jump to the idea of helping my cooperating teacher with her math lessons". - UTA Student Fall 2020
