| always willing to help, is very clear with material. challenges you when appropiate. |
| assisting students when asked or needed. |
| She is very easy to talk to in and outside of class. |
| Dr. Hiramine's major strength was to give a strong and clear feedback to her students. She not only helps students out on essays, but she also talks with students for an efficient approach, and to overcome difficulties in the class.
She also speaks clearly and helps you whenever you ask. She's devoted to helping students succeed. She answers any questions precisely so students wont wander off in the wrong direction.
Overall, listens carefully to concerns students have in the class, and finds a way to help the students succeed in the class. |

18. What changes, if any, do you suggest to the instructor?
|
| english is one of the hardest things to keep interesting in a classroom. |
| none |
| nothing she was really good :] |
| I would suggest hastening the pace of the class. |
| none |
| More freedom of topic. |
| There are no changes that I feel should be suggested because she teachs in a good pace and teaches the composition of writing as a college level course.
One slight change that could be made is to go hrough our MLA handbook more thoroughly as we bought it to understand content emphasized through the book. But everything else is great. We should have gone through some more excerpts so we would get the feel of writing our designated essay. |
| She can be a little quiet. |
|
|
19. How did the instructor show concern for students?
|
| was very accommodating to abscenses and replied to emails quickly. grades papers on time and gives her personal feedback if a student wants it. |
| She understands when students can't make it to class because of an emergency. She tries to help students if they don't understand. |
| she always listened and gave feedback. |
| She listened carefully to what each student had to say and took very well to any kind of constructive criticism. She even encouraged it. |
| She spoke to the students and helped them through the process of the assignments. |
| Checking in with them regularly after class and via email. |
| The instructor has shown concern for her students by having conferencing to make sure students are working efficiently on their subjected essay. She helps students out when they are stuck or hit a block while writing their essays.
Dr. Hiramine answers all e-mailed questions in a short amount of time so we, the students, can get feedback while working on our papers independently. |
| Very concerned. |
| if we had a question she would talk to us about it, if we still didn't get it clear she would talk to us one on one. |
| She worked individually with each one of us to help us achieve a good paper. |
|
|
