Students may give a more open opinion when collected by the Class Administrator, rather than the Instructor. Instructors should always receive a copy of these evaluations. Here are some areas an Instructor should keep in mind when being evaluated. There are many others, but these are some of the keys to assuring Student satisfaction that involve the Instructor. We know that one of the keys to effective instruction is to know the audience and its needs, and being prepared for the class based on an understanding of these needs.
Preparation is partly technical knowledge.
This means having a thorough understanding of the knowledge and skills that will be taught to the Students. All equipment and supplies should be on hand and properly arranged before the Students arrive. Props should be neatly displayed and clean. Demonstrations will only be effective if they go smoothly and illustrate competence and thorough preparation by the Instructor. All demonstration equipment should be tried out to make sure everything is working.
