Student Evaluations

My overall instructor rating ranges from 4.5 to 4.9. Following my first semester of teaching, my overall rating has been slightly higher than that of the School of Aging Studies department and the College of Behavioral and Community Sciences.
With the exception of Spring 2016, my students' average GPA tends to be slightly higher than the department and college average GPA. I believe this is a result of my continued efforts to improve myself as an instructor and present course content in increasingly engaging and meaningful ways that my students can effectively retain.

I feel that she helped students succeed and that she genuinely care about her students. She makes it easy to do well and is understanding that students have other courses. I appreciate that we were told that if we needed help or could not complete an assignment to come talk to her. This made it feel as though as long as you tried, she would work with you not against you.
