Please do not write on your students' evaluations. Read evaluations using "Post-It" labels to identify comments of particular interest, particularly those you may want to quote or photocopy in the future.

As you read the evaluations, gather the following information:

Once you have completed the form, give one copy to Cheryl Krueger, and keep the original in your files for future reference.

Patterns of positive evaluation:

In what areas do you see a pattern of positive feedback from your students (i.e., grammar presentation, classroom dynamics, fairness)? Do you see a difference in the type of positive comments you've received this semester vis-à-vis those from semesters past?

Patterns of negative evaluation:

According to these evaluations, what areas of teaching might you improve? What could you do to improve these aspects of your teaching in the future? Be specific.

Misunderstandings:

Are there any isolated comments which bother you, and/or to which you would like to respond?

Feedback:

Did you discuss with or get feedback on your class from a supervisor or colleagues? Did you use a mid-semester course evalutation with your class? If so, what did you learn about your teaching and how did you change your teaching for the rest of the semester? Were these changes reflected in your final course evaluations at the end of the semester?

Summary:

Summarize in just one or two sentences the overall portrait of your teaching depicted in these evaluations. What will you continue to do in the future? What will you do differently?
