Instructor Name: Professor Sample
Course Acronym/Section: G___________
Room: _____
Date/Time of Observation: _____
Class description from the syllabus: COPIED AND PASTED HERE
Professor Sample an Assistant Professor of Discipline. This is the _th time he has taught this class, but he dramatically changed the class this time. He introduced theory as a larger part of the class, extending it beyond 2 or 3 lectures at the beginning. He added a new book that is more accessible to students than the theorist he previously used.
On this day, 13 students were present. Seven students were male; six were female. Class began at__ and ended at __.
Students began with a lecture reviewing X and moved into a lecture/discussion about Y. Then they Z and transitioned into learning of their next assignment, AB. They got a lesson on Q and had time to start working on techniques and ideas.
Meeting of Standards of Excellence in Teaching
In my professional opinion, Professor Sample demonstrated to me that he met all of the following standards for excellence in teaching, with those goals demonstrated in italics, along with comments as needed:
6.1.2.1. A thorough and current command of the subject matter, teaching techniques and methodologies of the disciplines one teaches.
6.1.2.2 Sound course design and delivery in all teaching assignments � whether program or General Studies, introductory or advanced offerings � as evident in clear learning goals and expectations, content reflecting the best available scholarship or artistic practices, and teaching techniques aimed at student learning.
6.1.2.3. The ability to organize course material and to communicate this information effectively. The development of a comprehensive syllabus for each course taught, including expectations, grading and attendance policies, and the timely provision of copies to students. Note: I cannot comment on the timely provision of a syllabus to students.
6.1.2.4 Excellence in teaching also entails respect for students as members of the 91直播 academic community, the effective response to student questions, and the timely evaluation of and feedback to students.
6.1.3 Where appropriate, additional measures of teaching excellence are:
6.1.3.1 Ability to use technology in teaching.
6.1.3.2 The capacity to relate the subject matter to other fields of knowledge.
6.1.3.3 Seeking opportunities outside the classroom to enhance student learning of the subject matter.
My rich descriptive notes led me to conclude that Professor Sample
Challenged students with difficult and meaningful academic theory while helping them synthesize theories and analyze them in terms of students� real life experiences and in terms of X.
Provided clear instructions and demonstrations of techniques to get students started on their hands-on project.
Guided students while giving them space to do their own thinking and creating.
Academic engagement
Professor Sample engaged students academically. In keeping with one of his goals this term, he consciously asked students to build on previous knowledge obtained in the class, starting in the first few minutes of class when he asked students to review chapter $ while he got the classroom ready. He structured class for students by explaining that that day they抎 move into their next project but would start with a lecture that would review past concepts and then get into chapter $ (6.1.2.3). Professor Sample began the lecture by reviewing X, which had obviously been part of a longer previous discussion leading to a previous assignment. He used MS Power Point slides (6.1.3.1), a dry erase marker on a white board, and many direct questions to students to communicate during the lecture portion of class. In the early lecture, students reviewed past concepts, like A. He connected these concepts to examples they抎 discussed in earlier classes, like D. During these discussions, Professor Sample was very specific桬XAMPLE.
Then, Professor Sample moved the conversation from a discussion of terms and concepts from the author M who they抎 previously covered to their N book and N抯 different concept that Y. Here a student brought up the previous used-in-class example of F and Professor Sample used that to help students synthesize the old and new concepts by explaining how X and Y. Professor Sample displayed another quotation from their book on a PP slide and explained that this is part of a more radical argument than students might understand it to be, that U. He put this into our cultural context as V. Referencing previous class discussions, Professor Sample explained that this is something students already know梩hat W. Finally, he reviewed a quotation about Z.
This led into a discussion of Z in which Professor Sample showed examples SPECIFIC EXAMPLES. These examples led smoothly into students� next assignment, AB (6.1.2.3, 6.1.3.2).
Students had completed pretty high level, academic reading. In this reading, they抎 been presented with a theory that was different from a theory they抎 previously covered. Professor Sample drew upon students� comfort with the concepts they抎 already covered (referencing them often and calling upon individual students to participate in discussion, as well as using volunteering students) to help gently lead them into the new concepts and help students see similarities and differences between the theories (6.1.2.1, 6.1.2.2, 6.1.2.4). In addition, by drawing connections to students� real life experiences he modeled interdisciplinary thinking and made class work relevant to students� lives (6.1.3.2).
Direct instruction/demonstration of artistic techniques
Professor Sample divided the lecture and hands-on portions of the class with a break, which helped with the transition. In the second part of class, he demonstrated R. He was specific桽.
Professor Sample抯 demonstrations were clear and easy to follow and helped novices understand how to R (6.1.2.1, 6.1.2.2, 6.1.2.4).
Balanced guidance and space
Professor Sample did an excellent job of balancing providing students with guidance and support with giving them space to think hard themselves and to be creative (6.1.2.1, 6.1.2.2, 6.1.2.3, 6.1.2.4). He provided students with quotations to unpack that were hard桰 had to think on a few of them quite a bit myself and I am an excellent reader. But he helped students by leading them step by step through the concepts. At the same time, he did not provide them with all the answers, but he made them work themselves. Also, almost all students actively participated梩hey volunteered or Professor Sample called on them or both. Only two students said little or nothing during the class, and many talked frequently and with substantive contributions to the discussion. Professor Sample would encourage students by genuinely listening, making sure he understood them, and letting them know when he liked what they said梑ut he also would ask them to give examples or elaborate. He gave them time to review or to read difficult quotations, giving them a moment of silence to do so. He provided them with a flow chart on the white board that visually and verbally summarized major concepts and encouraged students to write it down.
The best way to help readers understand what it is like to be in this class is to show you:
Professor Sample provided a particularly challenging quotation and asked students to help explain it. One student volunteered and Professor Sample asked him to elaborate by saying, 揑抦 starting to hear that, but give me an example.� The student used an example Professor Sample had just supplied on a PP slide to explain what he was saying. Professor Sample, actively listening, told the student he thought he was hearing the student say O, and Professor Sample drew a visual on the white board to illustrate. The student agreed. Professor Sample acknowledged that this was one possible interpretation but that he wanted another one, and he called on a student, telling her, when she panicked, 搉o one knows, so give it a shot� and then, when another student raised his hand to rescue her, let her know the other student was 搑iding to her rescue on a white horse.� He continued to prompt students to think more deeply until multiple interpretations had been provided and students could see which was strongest.
During the hands-on portion of the class, Professor Sample similarly asked students to do their own work. He intentionally left most of them alone without hovering or interfering. At the same time, he promptly helped students who asked for help or who he saw needed assistance. He also occasionally offered general advice, such as P.
Conclusion
Professor Sample had to deal with environmental challenges: a cold room, students in other classes needing him to get materials for them from his office, and broken blinds that prevented dimming the room. He dealt with these calmly and with a sense of humor that was also apparent at other times: EXAMPLES HERE.
There are a few things Professor Sample might have done differently: perhaps calling on the two students who rarely spoke (although not doing so may have been prearranged with these students) or perhaps collecting written assignments from students at the beginning of class to make it less likely he or the students would forget about them later.
These are very minor suggestions; this was an excellent class session. Watching Professor Sample抯 class reminded me of the best general studies classes I took myself as an undergraduate, in which complex theories were made simple and clearly tied to my daily life so that I still use them regularly. The class is a strong addition to our General Studies curriculum: a non-expert myself, I learned a great deal, but I also didn抰 feel intimidated or lost.
