Course Evaluations

In addition to the in-class evaluations, I also use my USF Teaching Evaluations to listen to my students. I carefully reviewed these evaluations to determine new ways to enhance my instructional delivery. My USF Teaching Evaluations for the courses I taught during the year 2005 are presented in Table 1. The numbers suggest that students appreciated my instructional efforts and valued the high academic standards by which I conduct my teaching responsibilities. Their evaluations are an incentive to continue advancing my teaching skills.

Table 1. COE Student Assessment of Instructor form: Overall Rating of Instructor (Response scale: 3 = Good; 4 = Very Good; 5 = Excellent).

Average evaluation across all terms and courses in 2005 = 4.9.
