300-level and the title of this class, were the content and the degree of
difficulty appropriate? How would you evaluate: the organization of the
course; the quality of readings and assignments; the role of this course
as part of your larger academic program; quality of course logistics
[syllabus, access to readings, handouts]? Have you gained an improved
understanding of the local economy and economic processes as they affect
your own daily life?
II. SELF-REFLECTIONS: Why had you signed up for this course? Were
you well
enough prepared for this course? If not why not? Were you able to attend
classes regularly and spend the normal and expected amount of time
(class time + 10 hours per week) for this class? If not why not? Did your
motivation change during the quarter? If yes, how and why?
III. TEACHING OF COURSE: (The instructor's content knowledge,
specific
abilities and suggested areas for improvement; style of presentation and
interaction; organization of individual class meetings; ability to hold
your attention and "make you think" at this time of day; use of examples;
willingness to help with problems and assignments; extent and usefulness
of instructor's personal, written or E-mail comments on your work and
assignments; fairness of grading and other evaluations)

toward your special problems and interests; help with improving your
study/learning/research skills; willingness and ability to respond to
questions about your academic program and career plans; have you become a
more motivated and independent learner? Did instructor help you in
overcoming barriers to learning?
V. INDEPENDENT & COLLABORATIVE WORK: How successful and useful was
the instructor's attempt to
achieve a high degree of integration of your interests and class content?
Did your understanding of the class content improve as a result of
independent and collaborative work
related to your interests? Did your 'independent' explorations of
your interests become more meaningful as a result of the association with
class content, the "class model" and the interests and backgrounds of
others in the class?
VI. TECHNOLOGIES: How do you evaluate the instructor's attempt to
provide
an electronic environment for this class? Was there sufficient access to
hardware, software, personal assistance? Was the emphasis on electronic
resources appropriate? Was the emphasis on presenting assignments on the
Web appropriate? Suggestions for change.
VII. ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
You may want to discuss the overall quality
of your learning experience and the effectiveness of the class as a whole. Do
you expect the materials covered to be useful for other classes or
professionally? Do you have specific suggestions as to what you would
like to see included in the course. To make space for additions or to
reduce the overall amount of material covered what materials would you
suggest to drop or reduce? Have the many challenges & frustrations related
to access, communications and content taught you anything about real life?
