English 1A Feedback
I am always learning how to be a better teacher and would appreciate your honest and constructive feedback.  This is an anonymous feedback form.  I will not open the envelope with all the feedback forms until after I have turned in the final grades. Basically, it would help me to know what aspects of the class you would advise me to keep the same when I teach it again.  How could the class be improved?  What worked well for you?   Feel free to write on the back or attach an additional page.  

The readings (Too challenging?  Not challenging enough?  Interesting? Which ones would you keep and which would you lose?)

•	Hot, Flat, and Crowded

•	From Inquiry to Academic Writing

•	Ecotopia 

•	New Yorker profile of Friedman

•	Rough Guide reading at the beginning

The essay assignments (Were the assignments clear?  Too difficult? Interesting?)

•	First summary essay
•	Synthesis essay
•	Research paper
•	Final exam

The blogs (Did you prefer blogs to journals or handwritten discussion questions?  Did you find it helpful to read other students’ blogs?)

Instruction on the research process and MLA format (How helpful were the Library workshops B and W and the in-class workshop with James Lim?)

The homework assignments (Were there too many?  Were they useful?)

The grammar corrections (Did you feel you improved your grammar or word choice this semester?  Did the optional individualized approach to grammar instruction work for you?  What could have helped you improve your grammar more?)

The grading (Fair? Transparent?)

In-class discussion

In-class group work

The teacher’s explanations one-on-one

How would you rate your interest in the global warming theme at the start of the semester?
Very interested              Somewhat interested           Not too interested

How would you rate your interest in the global warming theme now?
Very interested              Somewhat interested           Not too interested             Tired of it

Would you suggest that I use a global warming theme in 1A again?  Why or why not?
