As a standard practice, with regards to getting feedback about the undergraduate and graduate courses that I teach, I ask the students on a voluntary basis to address the following question and write their confidential remarks on the back of the end of the academic term scan sheets (summative evaluation).
Input Question: Characterize the learning environment and
instructor for the course. Many students do take the time to provide such
input about the courses they complete with me.
Sample responses are
provided below for illustrative purposes:
Summer Term: 2003: Course: C&I 215, Organization and Curriculum
Issues in Secondary Education
Sixteen students responded. They were male and female students, ages
ranged from 20 to 54 years old, diversified ethnic and racial backgrounds and
from various academic disciplines, e.g., history, mathematics, science, family
and consumer sciences, as some students already have bachelors' degree.

· I found the learning environment to be stimulating and interesting. The instructor increased both the value and worth of the class. I learned more in C&I 216 than any other teaching course I have had. It is this course that will be instrumental in making me a successful teacher. Dr. Jerich always welcomed questions. · This has been the most valuable education course I’ve taken at ISU. I learned teaching methods, and lesson planning in an authentic manner. The micro-teacher and U-High experience grounded the content in real life and Dr. Jerich cared a lot about the content and the class. · The course provided me with a confidence to take a concept and turn it into a valuable unit. The teacher also provided the content of the course in an understandable way. · I really liked the format of turning in papers for range and fixing them to get point totals. · I received great knowledge of a secondary high school teaching environment. I enjoyed learning through the use of observation, microteaching, and the U-High teaching experience. I think the teacher was very knowledgeable in the subject area. · I really did learn a lot from 216, but I felt as if Dr. Jerich talked to us as if we were not college students. He never answered questions directly and I found it annoying. · I really enjoyed taking this course. I learned a lot about teaching. The microteaching was very beneficial. · This class provided me a great structure for my future teaching. Dr. Jerich is the best teacher I have had here. · I thought this course was the most valuable and applicable course that I have had in the College of Education. The learning environment was just that – a learning environment. Dr. Jerich set up an environment in which all students were involved and supported. Relationships, good ones, were established both between instructor and students and student to student. · Dr. Jerich was very knowledgeable, responsible, and was superb in conveying his knowledge and the content effectively. |

· Optional Comments: · Dr. Jerich class was helpful in preparing me to become a teacher. I gained tons of knowledge about the structure of lesson planning. The classroom environment was comfortable, and there was a lot of flexibility with final drafts of assignments. · I felt Dr. Jerich was very knowledgeable about the subject matter. Disposition – usually great. Very flexible and fair, yet expected us to do a good job. Seemed to be able to identify with busy schedules. Learning Environment – Very disappointing to have Dr. Jerich gone so much.* I think class discussions were valuable and would have enjoyed more of it. · Knowledge: Very knowledgeable of subject matter and displayed an easy to follow format. Was often timing very repetitive, but drilled to memorization. Disposition: Very relaxed and easy going, which is perfect for this kind of course. Not so much teacher as trainer/mentor. Class learning environment: Also relaxed and great allowing for open lines of communication. Very comfortable, an easy place to express opinions and ideas. · Knowledge: Acceptable and straight forward. Class learning environment: quiet and laid back. · The teacher demonstrated a thorough knowledge of the course material and was very helpful to students with questions. The teacher’s disposition was also very approachable and encouraged students to see him for extra help. · The knowledge of the instructor was one of the highest I’ve seen here at ISU. I switched into this class a day before the semester began and as a result, feel relieved I did so. I wonder where I would be today without having him as an instructor and taking the course with someone else. As a whole I feel he is an excellent educator and is someone I would like to be compared to one day. · The instructor had a lot of practical knowledge in the subject. The real life examples of situations or parallel things could use some work. The instructor had a very comfortable disposition which helped me see how I need to loosen up and go with the flow more when teaching. Our class was very quiet and got us more involved. · Knowledge: The instructor has vast knowledge. His background knowledge is excellent. Disposition: He is very fair and flexible. Class learning environment: It is very good. The instructor delivers lectures in an excellent manner. There is time for discussions and to ask questions. He has a thorough knowledge and he comes to class fully prepared. · The teacher was very enthusiastic to share his mass amounts of knowledge with the class. I enjoyed the fact that he always wanted student feedback and took the time to listen to our opinions and responses. Dr. Jerich always covered the material more than once to make sure that there was no misconception of what was expected. Overall I felt this class provided me with the proper tools to understand lesson planning and curriculum. · Knowledge: Dr. Jerich was very knowledgeable about the subject matter; however, we paid extremely close ties with Blooms Taxonomy which can be boring at times. Disposition: We learned through example only. This was an easy way to learn the content. Class learning environment: Very open classroom, made learning easy. Enjoyed class, made it easier to get to know other peers. He is very flexible with all assignments to accommodate students’ needs. This was extremely helpful and was greatly appreciated. · Knowledge: The instructor was very knowledgeable about the content of the class. Disposition: I felt comfortable in the class but sometimes I felt uncomfortable sharing my answers. · Knowledge: The instructor brought a lot of knowledge and understanding to the table. Disposition: I like the way the instructor presented the material. *Due to other assigned teaching assignments, some sessions had to be cancelled to cover the field experience for C&I 491. |
