Suggestions to Help Improve Teaching Evaluations
• Select appropriate goals for the course.– Is this a significant part of the course?
– Do I do something specific to help the students accomplish this objective?
– Does the student’s progress on this objective affect his or her grade?
• Clearly explain goals at the beginning of course and frequently remind students of those goals. Include goals on syllabus.
• Monitor student’s progress on those goals and provide alternative opportunities for improvement on the goals.
• Don’t give tests that have to be dramatically curved.
• Don’t have evaluations completed immediately after giving a test. • Use active learning techniques.
