Student Feedback
I’ve asked students to give feedback in a variety of ways — guided writing, surveys, class discussion. This time, I invited students to write me a letter during class time. I asked them to follow the positive / needs improvement / interesting format that I often use when offering students feedback.
Students liked:
- Variety of activities
- Humor
- Redoing their work for full credit
- Challenging assignments
- Freedom to speak
- Positivity
- The classroom library
- Emailing questions
- Drawing activities
- Visual notes
Students disliked:
- The way groups are assigned in the honors course
- How short DEAR time lasts
- How tough the tests are
- Messy handwriting on the white board
Interesting Comments:
- “Sometimes you talk so loud my ears hurt.”
- “You always dress so neat and tidy.”
- “Sometimes I think about bananas in your class because I get hungry.”
- “Sometimes you remind me of he who must not be named!”
