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… Mark K.
