Hi Zafar, Thank you for input on how to develop and refine your instructional style. Your suggestion about taking continuing education courses to improve is a good one. Sometimes it is hard to find courses that meet this need. What suggestions would you make to your faculty to assist them in finding courses that will benefit their professional development? Your second point about analyzing student results will be of benefit to students. Each time we teach a course we need to evaluate how effective we have been and then seek improvement. A suggestion for all instructors is to have a system of soliciting feedback from students. This system needs to be different from the “formal” assessment process that most colleges use. The reason that the “formal” format is most often used as a means of retention for the faculty. This formal assessment forces in many cases instructors to stay within very narrow boundaries of instruction to make sure that they get evaluations that will allow them to keep their jobs. The use of a system to get student feedback on an ongoing basis allows instructors to shift, redirect, and concentrate on instructional improvement throughout the training time. This helps make the instructors better and the students to be more effective learners. Gary
