She blended in perfectly. I was amazed by how expertly she analyzed what I had tried to do. She made a number of excellent suggestions about clarifying assignments, one immediate consequence of which is that I am now regularly e-mailing students about things to look for in an upcoming class and things to reflect on in a class just finished. My ability to have input about the process. I felt like I was a partner in the process and maybe even in control.
Teaching is a skill, an art, a craft it can always be improved.
So many, many thanks. She took detailed notes and explained them carefully, emphasizing the points about which I expressed the greatest interest. Her observation was very valuable, and I have already put into practice her suggestions. I would very much like to repeat this experience next semester. I think it should be required.
