Elicit comments from your students through a “status of the class” evaluation. Comprehensive student feedback is a wonderful gauge of effective instruction. Instructors should peruse status of the class forms carefully. If these are administered anonymously, students are more likely to be honest. Instructors should note any patterns that seem to emerge, such as general misunderstanding of a concept or negative interpretation of teacher behaviors, and monitor accordingly. This form can be revised and completed by parents as well.
