13. What are the instructor's major strengths as a teacher?
|
| everything, he is a great professor, his passion for other cultures is contagious |
| very knowledgeable on topics discussed in campfire sessions. having campfire sessions really helped with learning the topics & preparing for assignments/exams. |
| Your sense of humor in campfire is what kept me comming back. You have a lot of story to tell to your students becuase you've been in other countries, places. Yes, I did enjoy campfires. |
| His major strengths would be being available to the students. Its not very
difficult to get a hold of him. |
| Strong knowledge base, desire for students to learn, accessibility |
| His personal experience in the field and readiness to talk to students. |
| Drawing the students attention to a particular subject, helping students understand concepts better with examples and relativity to events today.
Explaining terms and concepts to be easily digested. |
| knowledgeable |
| Fun and informative |
| Chief was very clear and knew his stuff on the subject on anthropology. He was also clear
when explaining key concepts. |
|
|
14. What changes, if any, do you suggest to the instructor?
|
| none |
| possibly more samples for the final paper to look at & get ideas about. |
| Please try to update your assignments, papers due. The one I printed when we started class in Jan. 2011 was last years fall 2010 semester and I did get a little thrown off. |
| provide some kind of make-up for missing online class time. |
| more clarification on class projects |
| none |
| He should be more prompt on inputting the assignment grades and being available to
students through email instead of going to his office because students like myself aren't able
to meet at school. |
|
|
15. How did the instructor show concern for students?
|
| he is always available for the students |
| he was available by email & office hours to help students with any questions they might have |
| Keep the memos, notes, email consistently comming. I think that will help a great deal for students. |
| He showed concern through the campfires. If he wanted a student to contribute
more he would ask them. This shows that he really wants to know your
thoughts. |
| always available / accessible, gave good examples for projects, posted reminders. |
| Sympathy when troubled in the chat room |
| Attending his campfires on time showed his concern and how important it is to teach us. |
|
|
16. Would you recommend this instructor to students? Why or why not?
|
| Yes because he is always there for the students if the students makes question or comments through e-mail. There's nothing better than quick help when the students need help. |
| yes he is a great professor, makes sure that the students understand the material |
| yes, he is a great & knowledgeable teacher |
| Yes, I would recommend students who has the outrageous schedules in their lifes, ie. family, full time work, etc. Online classes are for those students that can't come to lecture class. Very convinient. |
| I would recommend Professor Hefner to students because they will definitely
learn a lot about a variety of different subjects. |
| Yes, interesting course material, helpful teacher. |
| Yes, I feel like he is able to broaden students views of where anthropology touches our every day lives. |
| Highly recommended. Very interesting and fun professor, full of experience and knowledge. |
| Yes! I would. |
| interesting course |
| yes, do-able online class |
| Yes I would if you are independent and are able to meet with him during his office hours
because he doesn't reply to emails promptly. |
|
|
