16. How can the instructor improve the teaching of this course?
|
| The only thing that really bothered me about the course was the fact that
the instructor wasn't very clear about grading policies and course
expectations. While seemingly nonchalant about certain issues early on, he
suddenly switched to a more rigid view on later on. Similarly, he also
become more permissive of certain behaviors over time. |
| Explain due dates regarding modules and included journal entries more clearly. |
| Less lecture time and more sharing or group activities. |
| He did try his very best to do this, but perhaps something more to
facilitate class discussion. |
| Make sessions more interactive. |
| less talking, go over the practical strategies instead of the philosophical
discussions |
| Limit the number of readings so that we have the time to discuss all of them in class. |
| I thought that the course was excellent. |
