Evidence of Teaching Effectiveness<\/strong><\/p>\n

Most of my evidence gathered are based on my FNH 200 Course Evaluation. Please see result summary below.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

FNH 200:\u00a0 Exploring Our Foods, 2009-2011 Winter Sessions<\/strong><\/p>\n

At the end of each term, students were asked to provide their evaluation of the instructor and the course. A total of 21 questions were asked. Questions 1 to 15 were in the Land and Food Systems Module where Questions 1 to 10 were closed-ended questions on a 5-point scale and Questions 11 to 15 were open-ended questions. Questions 16 to 21 were UBC-wide Module. <\/p>\n

Q 11. What I appreciated most about this course and\/or how I benefited from it was\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cJudy was very enthusiastic about the course material and conveyed the material very well. Made going to class enjoyable.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cI took this class to fulfill my science requirement. I thought it was really interesting. \u00a0I now look at all the labels of my foods when I go to the grocery store (I drive my roommate nuts!).\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe best part of this course was having Judy Chan as my instructor. I really enjoyed her style of teaching and how she continuously brought samples to class. Her course notes were easy to follow and I was able to learn a lot from her lectures. Her fun and outgoing personality created a very happy and comfortable environment for the students. Judy is quick at responding to questions and e-mails. Her friendly personality made it easy for me to approach her with questions. In addition, she cares for her students and is always willing to help.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My reflection<\/a> on students’ appreciation.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q12.\u00a0 I suggest that the course could be improved by\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cMore interesting lectures.\u00a0 I had no incentive to go to the lecture as all testable material was in the lesson booklets.\u00a0 Material covered in the lectures was simply a summary of the lesson.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cMaking sure there\u2019s no difference between Powerpoints and course content.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My reflection<\/a> on their concerns over lecture content vs on-line content.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q12.\u00a0 I suggest that the course could be improved by\u2026<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThis course should be directed with a science basis, not with an arts approach.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

\u201cThe course was extremely difficult for me and my friends that were coming from the Faculty of Arts not Science; try to keep it a little bit out of Science that everyone could understand.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My\u00a0reflection<\/a> on students’ diverse prior knowledge.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q13.\u00a0 Please comment on the TA\u2019s strengths and areas for improvement.<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u201cThere were several TAs, but our only interaction was just through them marking our assignments.\u00a0 Fair and prompt marking, however, and great feedback and pre-discussion of assignments though.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My reflection<\/a> on Teaching with TAs<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q14.\u00a0 Please comment on the strengths and areas for improvement regarding physical and technical facilities for this course.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A few students suggested the use of a microphone.<\/p>\n

A few suggestions were made regarding the classroom set up, AV equipment and technical problems regarding Vista.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

My reflection<\/a> on Physical and Technical Set Up<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Q15.\u00a0 Would you recommend this course to others?\u00a0 Please state why or why not.<\/strong><\/p>\n

While most students would recommend it because the class fun and interesting<\/strong> and the content practical and relevant, a few did not agree. <\/p>\n
