Variations of Evaluations

Cynthia, The stop, start, continue method really does provide you with good feedback. And, if you do this 2-3 times per semester then at the end when you want students to give you feedback in the form of a summative course evalutation, they are more likely to respond with additional information. Thanks for your input.

Developing Meaningful Feedback

Cynthia, You chose three excellent things to discuss. The feedback should encourage students to improve and not just tell them what they did wrong. Right on! Thanks for you input.

Rubric Role

Cynthia, The main thing to remember about rubrics is that they help the students and the instructor. It also helps students understand the course expectations and what they are working toward. Thanks for your input.

Generational Roles

Linda, Not every generation can be totally "lumped" together with certain characteristics, but it's good to know the generalities of their characteristics. I believe our students are a community of learners and learn from each other. They do this across generations. Thanks for your input.

Pattern of Communication

Cynthia, Thanks for your input. Communication, communication, communication. . .I can't say it often enough. Extrememely important. When students understand the course expectations/standards and see how they are linked to the learning outcomes, it makes more sense to them and they will work to achieve them. Nice job.

Pattern of Communication

Linda, Right on! Being a role model within and outside the classroom (whether F2F or online) is important. I also give examples of what is expected in their writing and many do, as you do, deduct points. I emphasize professionalism in the course and writing is one form of professionalism. Thanks for your input.

Technology Communication Tools

Cynthia, Yes, understanding your audience (your students) is important. If students don't have the technology or knowledge to use the technology, it's going to be a barrier to communication and learning. Keep assessing the technology you use. Thanks for your input.
