At the same time, in order for us to gain as much as possible from the course, we need to be willing to share openly in an environment of trust and caring. Thus, it is my hope that we can work together in an informal, open atmosphere where respect for different viewpoints is valued. Thus, I'm pleased to have this opportunity to meet with you to examine ethical practice in our field. I look forward to working with you during this course. Evaluation and Feedback Evaluation and feedback are integral parts of any learning activity.
Evaluation is a tool for measuring personal progress toward individual or course goals.
In addition, a formal institution like Elmira College requires that grades be established as marks for transcripts and degree completion. Thus, in terms of feedback, it is my expectation that the communication process will indeed be a two-way street. Just as I will be evaluating your work and providing feedback, I hope that you will feel free to provide electronic feedback to me at any time during or after the course. I will use informal formative evaluation techniques throughout the course to assess our progress and, if appropriate, to modify the course direction. Finally, I will ask you to complete an evaluation instruments at the end of the course designed to provide me with feedback about the course and my teaching for future improvement.
