Leadership Final extra - "Course Evaluation"

1) Indentify elements of the course which helped you learned or impacted you positively, e.g., team work, presentations, gradebook, interactions with other students and or teacher, course format, instructor’s teaching techniques/approach, blogs, assignments, readings, other, etc.

I felt that the overall class interaction worked very well in bringing a lot of the lessons to a more personal level, and it kept me from feeling I was just reading through one of a million self-help books. I also appreciated my instructor's efforts a great deal, and it was his efforts and his dedication to our class that kept me putting in extra effort as well.


2) Identify elements of the course that can be improved and/or eliminated, e.g., team work, presentations, gradebook, interactions with other students and or teacher, course format, instructor’s teaching techniques/approach, blogs, assignments, readings, other, etc.

I felt that the team aspect of the class did not have enough time to develop, especially as many of us were attempting to get a hold on the class dynamic as well in the start of the semester. In my opinion, I think the formation of teams would work better in the second half of the class, after students have gotten a hang of the work and who others in the class are.


3) Discuss your level of participation and effort in the class, e.g., fully engaged, somewhat engaged, not at all, did your best, etc.

I did what I could to stay fully engaged in the class and lessons, and feel that through the entire course that our instructor did what he could to keep us engaged and involved.


4) If you were the instructor, how would you have taught the class?

To be honest, I'm not sure. This is a topic I do not feel I have enough experience on to plan an entire course.
