STUDENTS' COMMENTS



From anonymous questionnaires and official evaluations sheets I picked a few student comments about my courses and teaching style:

This is the best course I've ever taken. I wish I could take it again. I greatly recommend his class(es) to other future students.

The instructor's style and interactive presentation is very effective. Very interesting and exciting new field of study.

The most effective aspects of this course were: Working at the chalkboard! I loved it!

I like the ways Dr. Stilman taught. He encourages students to participate in class.

The instructor for this course is one of the best I have seen. His materials are well-thought out and complete. His presentation of the material demonstrates his knowledge of the material and his dedication to the students trying to learn it.

The instructor presented course material significantly better than other professors that I've heard for similar courses at CU in Boulder. He has a way of challenging students to think for themselves.

Always have students write examples on the board.

I liked the active participation of students. That really helped me to learn a lot more than straight lecturing.

You put a lot of effort into making handouts to explain material and they are helpful for doing assignments and review.

Giving out copies of the lecture notes allows me to pay attention to every detail. In addition, having us solve problems on the board we are forced to interact with the material. As a result, I can learn the material immediately.

The most effective aspects of this course were: The intellectual stimulation it provides and the way of approaching the solution to problems of a wider scope.

The most effective aspects of this course were: Class Participation. (in numerous responses)

The best way to improve this course would be to: Tolerance in the form of our answers - which exists now, and should continue.

Further comments: We all having a good time, and learning too.

The most effective aspects of this course were: Giving a good presentations in class, which showed to me a lot of new things that I have not seen before. So it is a new experience for me. A lot of participation from students. The best ways to improve this course would be to: None The handouts cover the material so well the book is not needed.

The most effective aspects of this course were: Doing problems on the board. The least effective aspects of this course were: At times I don't understand what direction you want

us to go. The teaching style took a little while to get used to, it is however very effective on teaching a student very complex material.

The most effective aspects of this course were: Handouts of all notes, interactive class. The least effective aspects of this course were: Not everyone participate equally. Rotate people at the board...

The most effective aspect is the interaction we have doing the examples on the board... The ability to turn in homework late, or resubmit the homework.

Your presentation style forces the student to immediately address the problems in class.

Students are involved in every lecture ‹ writing on board, open discussion... The least effective aspects of this course were: None I can think of!
