Description of Your ReportYour Course Evaluation Report contains up to four sets of items, represented in up to four sections in your report,
described below.

Sets of Items

Institutional Items
These eight items are consistent across the University of Toronto. They are comprised of:Five rating-scale items which represent institution-wide teaching and learning priorities.
The institutional composite mean, a mathematical average of these first five items.
One rating-scale item on the overall quality of a student’s learning experience.
Two qualitative comment items.

Divisional Items
These items are consistent across your division. They represent division-wide priorities for teaching andlearning.

Departmental/Program/Course-Type Items
These items (when applicable) represent further levels of granularity and specificity for teaching andlearning priorities within your division (e.g., department, program, course type).

Instructor-Selected Items
These items are optional items which may be selected from the item bank by instructors during the question
personalization period.
Note that the results from these items are only reported to instructors, as they are primarily
intended to function as personal formative feedback.

Report Sections
The following provide different statistical summaries and representations for your institutional, divisional,
and departmental/programmatic items (where appropriate).
Section 1: Course Evaluation Overview
Provides all course evaluation data except instructor-selected items.
Section 2: Response Distributions and Additional Statistics
Provides detailed response distributions.
The number and relative percentage of respondents providing a given answer is provided, along with agraphical representation.
This section also reports further statistics for each set of items relative to Section 1.
Section 3: Comparative Data
Provides comparative means for your course as compared to the relevant means across all other evaluatedcourses at a particular level of comparison (e.g. division, program) for each set of items.
Section 4: Instructor-Selected Items
Provides data for optional items that instructors can select from the item bank during the question
personalization period. This section is formatted identically to Section 2.

Comments
Instructors taught in passion. I also like how professor Hong connect real world example with the class topic (e.g. recommendationof American Factory and papers of relevant topics studied in class).
The instructor, Guangbin Hong, is very friendly and tries his best to make sure that the students understand the topic. His lectureslides are very detailed, making it easy to understand the concepts. The instructor has a great passion for his subject and is verymuch willing to share his knowledge with his students.
Professor Hong is stimulating, supportive and very friendly. His teaching transformed the course into an enjoyable experience.
Detailed slides and instructions. If there are parts that students don't understand, would also create other materials (extra notes) toassist our learning. Outlines expected topics clearly.
The lecture was attractive.
Very patient with his students. Thorough with explanations of powerpoints throughout the course. Fair tests and quizzes.
Perfect! Super clear and straightforward!
The overall quality of the instruction is pretty good.
There are often some extended topics

8. Please comment on any assistance that was available to support your learning in this course.
Comments
Instructors were kind and patient when answering our questions.
This course was fantastic in terms of instruction. There was a discussion board that was used by the professor to answer all thequestions the students had. Moreover, he was very much accessible by email at all times.
Discussion boards and emails were readily available with speedy response times.
Tutorials and lectures were recorded for students to refer back. Office hours and problem set solutions are helpful.
None.
Prompt response to email questions.
It's convenient to reach to the professor for help, which helps make the my learning being more efficient.

Please comment on the value of time spent in class toward your overall learning experience in thecourse.
Comments
The class time was very beneficial for students to as questions and digest new material.
The class time is quite early for me so I usually watch the recordings and they are clear.
Very useful. Most useful.
The more time I practice and review, the more I learn.
It helps a lot.
Lectures were clear and insightful.

Please comment on the value of the required readings toward your overall learning experience in thecourse.
Comments
This did not have any required readings. However, the professor posted relevant newspaper columns which helped to illustrate how
theoretical concepts in international trade play a significant role in global economic affairs.
I focused more on slides so did not really read the readings, understanding problem sets and slides already take up most of mytime.
Not very applicable.
The slides are quite useful
It connects the theories we learned with the real world.
Not much.
Required readings provide backgrounds to the materials, but are not necessary to understand the materials.

Please comment on the extent to which course assignments and tests required you to think and apply
course concepts rather than memorize them.
Comments
There was not significant memorization in the course since the focus is to understand different trade models. The questions in thetest and assignment focused more on testing the understanding of the models rather than simple memorization of formulas.
If the problems sets were more different from class slides that would help me evaluate my learning progress more.
all assignments and tests need to apply concepts
Memorization of the model solution algorithm is necessary. The rest is more like applying concepts and intuition behind themodels. I would say it is fairly balanced.
The problem sets are great.
Assignments were appropriate in terms of difficulty and relate to lecture materials. Application of materials is required with somethinking necessary in order to complete assignments with accuracy.

Section 3. Comparative Data

This section provides overall means for given comparators (e.g., division, department) alongside the meanvalues for a given course. Note that the comparators are calculated by pooling together all individual
student survey responses (e.g., student responses for all of the courses in a department are pooled
together and the departmental mean responses calculated from that). The provided comparators are thus ameasure of the 'average' student experience for a unit or division; they are not a measure of the 'average'
course in a unit or division. This calculation has the effect of giving large courses more 'weight' in thecalculation of the comparator means. The effect of this on the calculated comparator varies depending on
the relative proportion of large or small courses within a unit or division. As such, the departmental anddivisional comparative mean values provided on course evaluations should not be regarded as an absoluteand definitive benchmark.
For example, if a department offered only two courses, one with 1000 students who all answered 3.5 andthe other with 10 students who all answered 4.5 (so that the means would be 3.5 and 4.5 respectively), thenthe departmental mean provided on the course evaluations would be 3.51 since the calculation would be[(3.5x1000)+(4.5x10)]/1010]=3.51 and not (3.5+4.5)/2=4.
