I think that having a final exam that counts a lot in your grade isn't the best way to do things. It is sad for a student to work all term and then, at the end, when there is nothing she/he can do about it, realize that she/he didn’t “get” the material! Likewise, though student evaluations of professors at the end of terms are nice, and possibly the professor will take to heart the scores and comments so that subsequent classes are improved, it doesn’t help the student who is completing the evaluation, except sometimes for a feeling of revenge.
As former NYC
Mayor
Koch would say “How’m I doing? How’m I doing”
So I am asking you now, two weeks into the course, four weeks, six,
eight, ten weeks, but in time to do something about it for you and other
students in this session of the course. It
is very import for all students to communicate where they are having trouble and
thoughts on how I can help. It also
helps if you find good things to point out and say “We should do more of
that.” So I invite you to communicate your idea on the course frequently.
I am looking for feedback on both course content and course delivery techniques. When are we doing things where the time expended is not worth it in terms of the material learned.
You can communicate by:
| Sending me email | |
| Posting something on the message board under “Questions about the course" conference Course- How we can improve this course. That way fellow students can use your idea as a starting point to further discuss the course | |
| Signing this "How'm I doing" form |
Or if you don’t want to be identified, complete as much of this form as you want and submit it. If you don't sign it, there is no way for me to know who sent it!
| How would your rate the course content so far? | The
