Bill,
I think we're gonna have to agree on that we disagree….
>>Check the student's learning outcomes and course exit competencies…
>>This is gonna be tooooo subjective to measure with any credibility
Isn't the learning outcome the objective of teaching?
It can be subjective to measure? (why? a simple test will do)
I know that you will occasionally have students who won't do their best because
they didn't like one thing or another (but a different approach to that person
would maybe succeed!!)
Some teachers may have a slam bang, hand it to them on a silver platter
attitude and hope they will swallow it attitude, and a teacher certification
should weed these out. An eval form filled by a student looks great when you
take hundreds of them and average them out, but the question is, did the
student really think they learned a lot or did they *actually* learn a lot?
That's my reason for number 7 and I think it is an important part…
