I encourage students to contact me at any time via email, office visit, phone, snail-mail, or anonymous mail to make constructive suggestions about the presentation, conduct, and content of the courses I teach. I strongly believe that feedback from students is an essential resource for the continued improvement in the quality of my courses. I read and seriously consider the critiques and student comments I receive at the end of each semester. I encourage students to provide me with constructive critiques and suggestions about what and how things can be improved.
As I promise each semester, I have published direct quotes from student evaluations and responses from my courses. Every effort has been made to represent the statements as they were presented, including spelling, punctuation, and gramatical errors (none of which have been marked in the text here). Most, but not all of the comments are included for Fall 1998 and Spring 1999. Starting in Fall 1999, all student comments have been included on these pages.
I have included responses to some of the comments (follow the hyperlinks).
Courses are listed by course number, then in chronological order. Note that all courses taught between Fall 1998 and Fall 2000 were at Adams State College in Alamosa, Colorado. Those taught after Fall 2000 are at the University of Texas at El Paso.
