Thank you to each of my students who took the time to complete a student evaluation of teaching this year. Overall, your response rate was the highest I\u2019ve ever received! Thank you! (Since 2009\/2010, response rates across all courses have been 54%, 55%, 49%, and, this 2012\/2013 year, boasted the high of 62%.) 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 already 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) here<\/a> for 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 I am in the process of writing reflections on the feedback I received from each of my courses, and will be posting them over the coming weeks. Check out last year\u2019s reflections on intro<\/a>, research methods<\/a>, stats<\/a>, and Psyc 208<\/a> special topics), for comparisons.<\/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.
