Performance and Impact

As a part of my core values, I take feedback from students very seriously. Throughout my teaching, I've received feedback through end of semester evaluations given by the insitution and mid-term evaluations that I personally provide. Even when I can't accomodate something that was said or discovered, I can at minimum be mindful of my audience and their potential needs. That being said, I work very hard to make sure my students are getting a quality course. I am honored to have received so many kind wordds about my teaching approaches from students. On this page, you will find some of the submissions students have provided. I also provide information on how my teaching as improved across a semester in the graphs.
