Le Moyne College Evaluations

Overall, I received overwhelmingly positive feedback, which included students sharing how important feedback was for their writing growth, the flexibility of the course to meet their needs, and the materials that supported their writing journeys.

Students shared: 

" Professor Kingston is an extremely knowledgable person, and has a lot of empathy for students in class. She always allowed students the opportunity to re-do assignments if they weren't up to par with the guidelines, and offered an immense amount of feedback and help along the way during larger writing assignments. Professor Kingston is very encouraging, and definitely helped to improve my own writing abilities throughout the semester. I'm sure that other students have similar experiences." (Section 10) 

" I really enjoyed this course because of Professor Kingston. She was very kind, understanding, and always willing to help. I think one of her best strengths is the way she explains the material and how organized the assignments are." (Section 10)

The American School (EDU 310)

Syracuse University Evaluations

Below, I have provided feedback from informal surveys and university taken during mid-term and end-of-semester courses. All responses are anonymous from students and include questions about course engagement, how they're doing overall, and feedback to me as an instructor/facilitator. 

To the left, I am providing specific comments from students about discussion facilitation. To the right, I have noted which semester the evaluations are from (beginning with my first semester), my takeaways from student feedback, and how I have/want to apply feedback in future teaching opportunities and semesters.
