Summary and Reflections:
I started doing daily quizzes for the algebra class this term, and I think it worked out well, so I think I'll be doing it again. It seemed to improve the scores on the first exam tremendously. The PreCalc class I had really hoped to get evaluations from, since it was the first time I was teaching it at Columbus State, but I didn't get my forms until the class was entirely over, since it was a shortened 7-week course. The 3-hour lectures two nights a week was draining, but it helped students attending schools on semesters complete the course in time to return to their home programs.

Student Comments:

She was a great teacher and took time to help.

I really appreciate the way she answered everyone's questions and made interesting.

Teaches an easy way to understand. She doesn't make you feel stupid.

I would recommend this instructor because she taught in a way that I could understand the rationale.

She is patient and calm and ready to help.
