Report on my Midway College Ethics class
Fall, 2004, Student Evaluations (#14)
Completed December 18, 2004
What we liked best, summary:
"I really loved this class. It was surprising! I loved the debates. It makes people think about current events. Helps us delve into ourselves and find out how I really feel / believe.
"You did an awesome job helping us look at ourselves and our "frames"
I really enjoyed and learned a lot from the Muslim conferences. I think every person should attend something along those lines.
"I love your teaching methods. Very effective and motivating.
The extra credit inventory asking us to define our own values and how they were influenced is an excellent teaching tool for "Self-enlightenment."
"Best was the amount of participation. You wanted to be involved. I have learned much from listening to others and their opinions, facts and theories. I always leave with so much in my thoughts. It has made me take a deeper look at myself.
"I enjoyed the openness of all the students. The teacher developed a safe and creative atmosphere where everyone felt comfortable expressing their feelings / beliefs. The size of the class helped.
"I loved the discussion style format. The issues were real, and got me to thinking differently about perspectives.
"I liked the interaction between you and the other students It was a very challenging and thought-provoking course. It widened my frames and outlook in many different areas. It taught me to evaluate all sides of an issue in a logical and thoughtful manner. This is one of the best courses I have taken. I really enjoyed it. Thank you very much.
"The knowledge and expertise of the instructor aided us in the educational aspects of this class.
Handouts were helpful. The class made you think about yourself and your values. It forced you to think outside the box. Getting to know others in this way has a large impact on how we think.
"Our class blended well. I really liked the workplace issues that we brought in and discussed. I loved the debates each week, and the business cards exchange. Do the business card exchange earlier in the course.
How to improve the class:
Do not change anything (about one half of the class)
Get rid or change the text (about one third of the class)
Not require so many newspaper articles to be brought in (about one third)
More clarity on homework and syllabus (several)
Give a grade to papers handed in (several)
Did not like the requirement to attend the Muslim conference (one)
To my students reading this summary:
Thank you for your positive feedback and your suggestions!
You all made it fun!
Be well.
Paschal.
