19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

none.

we should do more group activities

nothing

I don't think I would do anything to improve it, I just want to say that this class taught me a lot about critical thinking. (WOW!)

I would make sure the syllabus is as accurate as possible, there shouldnt be alot of changes and all assignments, test and quizzes should be thoroughly explained & done accordling to the syllabus

I would want to change they way we had to learn the books by our selves. Study at home.

make things more interesting. group activities

grading policies & less quizzes

more class interaction and less test

Well we had a test every class and we had to do AIMS that was very harsh. I would try to make it a little more fun so that we can be rewarded and not always TESTED.

i would have a little more time working on ome steps to make it clearer

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

none.

its good but she could make learning more funner

good

Awesome, Mrs. Cholas has a very awesome way of teaching.

Absolutely confusing and frustrating. For example: if we have a quiz on a certain vocabulary and chapter wait til after the test to discuss the next chapter. I would like an oppurtunity to re-take tests that I've scored low because i had studied the wrong

i think she should work on it a little more

Was okay. Could of been better.

it was junk. didn't learn much more from high school.

fair, normal, and average especially for a college student.

Good

good but she could've made the class more interesting by making us work in groups more.

Her style of teaching was great.

i think that it is great

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

none.

yea

yes

Yes, most definately.

I've accumulated a few strategies in reading, participated well in class projects with group. I truly think i can do a whole lot better had the circumstances been different.

yes

kind of. Was kind of confused.

not really

absolutely , i am going out this fall semester with more knowledge then with what i came in with

Yes

yes

Very much so.

yes, because of our assignments

22. Other comments:

none.

shes commited to her job.

It would help to make learning and studying more motivational if there's some adjustment to her syllabus, correction on our test in class so we know what the answer is and where we had made the mistake, show us how to do the homework or go over it until w

need help

Ms Linda Cholas is a very nice lady and i am very honered to have been taught by her. I have had Ms. Linda for two semesters now and If i should pass her english 21 R and move on to english 102, then i will surely miss her a lot.

None
