All the student evaluation comments:

 

·        A good teacher (the best I’ve had this quarter, actually) & willing to learn from students.

·        The class is pretty good. I like it. At the beginning I think it is little bit short of interaction between teacher and student. But Latter I found it is really getting better. I learn a lot from it.

·        Not bad, considering this is 1st time teaching. Too much Power Point & not enough free discussion.

·        Instructor well-organized, shows desire and willingness to teach. Only weaknesses are lack of good English-sepeaking skills and misspelling. However, these are minor, probably unavoidable (considering instructor is not native English speaker), and I think the instructor did an overall good job.

·        The lecture stuff can be hard to study. A cool subject hosted on a CVS repository.

·        Something needs to be done to kind of liven up the class or stimulate more interest. One idea we talked about was integrating a large project with the chapters. For example, teach the chapter about design, then show how lessons learned from the chapter can be applied to the project.

·        You’re going to fit in here very well. You still need to work on your teaching skills.

·        The material was covered very rapidly making it hard to learn the complete context of the material.

·        Need to remind people of next class’ assignments due.

·        Presentations were well done, but the darkness of the room makes it hard to stay focused.

All the student evaluation comments:

 

·        A wonderful instructor. And you can be even better after you get more experience. It would be better if we get the slide hard copy before the class. I don't like the dark room.

·        The 8 AM time slot combined with the "lights out" + PowerPoint format made nodding off unavoidable at times.

·        Very good preparation for the class and well organized.
