Thank you to each of my students who took the time to complete a student evaluation of teaching this year. Since the 2009\/2010, my overall response rates across courses have been 54%, 55%, 49%, 62%. This 2013\/2014 year, the response rate dropped to 47%, and I’m not sure why. I value hearing from each of you, and every year your feedback helps me to become a better teacher.<\/p>\n
When I receive my evaluations, I take my time exploring and interpreting both the qualitative and quantitative feedback. I have created graphs depicting results from the University Module Items, which are 6 questions that are asked about every instructor across campus. I have posted those graphs (and the precise wording of each question)\u00a0here<\/a>\u00a0for your consideration. With respect to the open-ended responses, I appreciate and consider every thoughtful comment. The ones I write about are typically those that reflect common themes echoed by numerous students.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n I have\u00a0posted a series of written\u00a0reflections on the feedback I received from each of my courses.\u00a0Links to these individual blog posts are collected here:<\/p>\n Reflections from 2013\/2014: Psyc 101 and 102\u00a0intro<\/a>,\u00a0Psyc 208<\/a>\u00a0special topics, Psyc 217\u00a0research methods<\/a>, and\u00a0Psyc 218\u00a0stats<\/a><\/p>\n <\/p>\n If you wish to refer backwards in time, here are links to previous years’ posts:<\/p>\n Reflections from\u00a02012\/2013: Psyc 100\u00a0intro<\/a>, Psyc 208<\/a>\u00a0special topics, and Psyc 217\u00a0research methods<\/a><\/p>\n Reflections from 2011\/2012: Psyc 100\u00a0intro<\/a>, Psyc 208<\/a>\u00a0special topics, Psyc 217\u00a0research methods<\/a>, and Psyc 218\u00a0stats<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Thank you to each of my students who took the time to complete a student evaluation of teaching this year.
