13. What are the instructor's major strengths as a teacher?
She knows the subject well
She was very knowledgeable and presents herself in a very proper manner with kindness.
She used not only text book but also used video, children's books, magazines for us to understand the subjects.

Grade the papers a little less strict and be more understanding that this is an introductery class.
She needs to allow time when there is a debate over a class subject...which was almost every class. Also, I know that class participation/group activities are very effective, but perhaps it's time for a couple to change.
I would like her to teach at KCC.
