Examples of student evaluation: “Her ability to simplify things and to communicate in layman terms was great.”; “Explained things very well and clear and made it interesting.” “The qualities of the instructor that I felt most effective is that she slowed down and helped us if we were confused. She always made sure we understood what we were learning.” It is critical to follow this up by setting appropriate, routine teaching assessments.
