Andrews is a highly rated instructor at Harvard University's Division of Continuing Education, creating and teaching courses and professional programs in leadership, team effectiveness, strategy, and creativity.
Thirteen items were created based on descriptors found to differ between instructor types in a study by Kendall and Schussler (2012), during which students rated hypothetical instructors.
Students rated the instructors 4.2 out of 5 on their year-end evaluations.
In course feedback on the program, more than 93percentt of survey respondents rated the instructors and materials as "good," "very good," or "excellent".
The present study was carried out on the writing section of an in-house proficiency test with a timed essay task in a Japanese university which is rated by instructors from a wide range of cultural and linguistic backgrounds.
First-rate instructors, like Nick Longhi and Divina Galica, keep the classroom time to a minimum, making it both fun and riveting.
Saville, Zinn, Brown, and Marchuk (2010) showed that students rated the instructor of a detailed syllabus as a master teacher possessing more competency and efficiency; furthermore, students claimed they would recommend participation in the courses with detailed information in their syllabus to others.
In a pilot of online course evaluations in the Department of Statistics in fall 2012, among the 1486 students who rated the instructor's overall effectiveness and their enjoyment of the course on a 7-point scale, the correlation between instructor effectiveness and course enjoyment was 0.75, and the correlation between course effectiveness and course enjoyment was 0.8.
They rated the instructor's feedback as more constructive and helpful (Table 4).
Students in the webcast condition rated the instructor significantly higher than those in the videoconferencing condition on encouraging further learning (F = 8.25, p <.005) and motivating students to follow up on their own (F = 16.16, p <.001).
Users, of course, will also be able to rate their instructors.
