Teacher Evaluations
I’ve only taught DSGN 211 once; however, the course is very closely related to the course it replaced DSGN 248: Visual Presentation Graphics. For the purpose of compiling similar data over a few semesters, I’ve combined teacher evaluations for both DSGN 211 and 248 into one chart.

- Explain the grading on project better. (Spring 2010)
- Show real life examples (a few similar comments). (Spring 2010)
- I just feel like he needs more teaching experience. He clearly knows what he’s talking about, but class lectures leave me confused and working with a dim understanding until he comes to my desk and explains how it applies to my project. (Spring 2010)
- Better explain the grading system and requirements for projects. Returning grade and comments sheets in a more timely manner would also be a good improvement. (Spring 2011)
- Be more strict on deadlines (for example: set up dates in between projects to have something finished). Take them for a grade or even participation points or something to get students motivated to not leave projects until the night before. (Spring 2011)
