IN CASE YOU’RE WONDERING
Do I ever receive any criticism? Yes - though it’s lessened over the years! Complaints from students are primarily related to being an exacting grader, assigning work at a rapid pace, and being direct. I take these comments into consideration and the course has improved due to my awareness of these concerns and their impact on students. While I value my students and always learn from them, my mission is to be effective and empower them to enhance their skills. This doesn’t go down smoothly for everyone!
