 Electronic Teaching Portfolio

University of Pittsburgh, Summer 2003

This page contains evaluations that I received for the Algebra recitation I did during the Second Summer Session in 2003.  As I was only the recitation instructor, I have no additional materials for the course.

Summer 2003, 1 Recitation for Algebra (MATH 0031)

well-prepared for class 5
knowledgeable about course material 5
clarified material in lectures 4.8
interest in the students understanding 4.9
returned assignments in a reasonable time 5
concerned about students' progress 5
helpful answers to students' questions 4.9
treated students with respect 4.9
constructive feedback on assignments 4.9
environment in which students were comfortable asking questions 5
available outside class 5
recommend instructor to other students 5

These scores are out of five points.  The students were clearly happy with my performance, and these are generally students who really struggle with math, and on a condensed summer session.  The handwritten interviews cited my patience and laid-back approach.  (Copies of written comments are available upon request.)  With algebra, I also tried to give more than one way to do a problem, and some students appreciated that.
