I
think
this
class
was
quite
interes8ng
but
it
had
a
lot
of
untapped
poten8al
as
to
what
it
could
be.
The
weekly
topics
were
all
of
great
interest
to
me
and
the
readings
were
quite
engaging.
Yet
presenta8on
of
the
material
was
uninspiring.
I am interested in the subject matter. The professor is very knowledgeable and willing
to share her knowledge (sometimes too much detail!). I liked that we were given
"different" assignments rather than the regular essay that is so common amongst
university courses. However, the biggest issue that I had with the class was that it
wasn't very animated.
The
professor
really
knows
her
material.
She
is
also
great
at
answer
any
ques8ons
we
may
have
outside
of
class
and
accommoda8ng
towards
her
students.
However,
she's
not
so
great
at
explaining
something
in
layman's
terms
especially
if
it's
a
concept
that
is
more
dicult
to
grasp.
The major area for improvement for this course is organization. In some cases
objectives were unclear days before an assignment/evaluation was due. Course
expectations were unclear with respect to individual and group participation. The
instructor was obviously highly knowledgeable and approachable.
The class needs more strictly defined assignments, better structured discussions, and
less random group work. Ad-hoc group projects did not add any value to the class,
only confusion. It was not clear what the motivation should be for doing that work,
since it is not reflected on the syllabus.
The
class
was
just
incredibly
boring.
I
am
sure
the
professor
is
highly
knowledgeable
but
she
was
terrible
in
keeping
my
aJen8on.
Dear
Professor,
you
need
to
change.
Youre
geNng
paid
to
teach
us,
and
all
you
do
is
stand
around
and
talk
at
us.
It
was
very
instruc8ve
to
get
the
perspec8ve
of
someone
who
is
familiar
with
the
research
in
nursing
through
rst-hand
experience,
and
has
engaging
viewpoints
on
the
issues.
The
instructor
knows
what
she
is
talking
about,
but
she
needs
to
impose
more
authority
over
the
class
through
clarity
in
dening
the
structure
of
the
work
to
be
done.
Never
ask
students
how
they
would
prefer
to
do
a
certain
assignment...
Guidelines
are
there
for
the
students
to
follow
them,
but
it
is
the
instructors
job
to
make
sure
they
are
clear.
The
professor
was
very
engaged
in
her
power
point
presenta8ons
and
she
rarely
engaged
with
us.
So
boring.
I
avoided
coming
to
class
because
I
would
just
fall
asleep
once
she
started
talking
and
showing
the
slides
in
that
dark
room.
Death
by
powerpoint.
The
instructor
is
extremely
knowledgeable
but
fails
to
impart
her
knowledge
due
to
how
she
leads
the
class
and
manages
student
interest.
The instructor did not consider the complexity of the material. The background knowledge one
would need to pick up on that information is simply immense (which the instructor has!). Basic
aspects of institutions in nursing are crucial for understanding practicalities that the course
focused on, thus the institutional background must be given to the students by the instructor
should it be necessary for a given topic. Instead students were bombarded with detailed
information out of a broader context.

The instructor was giving too much information in too short of time.
Professor Smith, thank you for the fantastic class! Annie
I really enjoyed the course, very interesting and engaging.
If the only technology available is PPT, then this university really sucks.
The professor is very kind and helpful. She really is a good researcher and very serious about her subject. I
felt I could learn from her. She was also very candid and a nice a pleasant change of pace from most
instructors. She could be more interactive during the class. She has been very interactive outside of class.
Coming to this class was like entering another world! Thank you for that experience!
Professor Smith is a very competent researcher. She has a lot of knowledge to offer. Yet, the way she
organised the class made the knowledge-sharing very painful for students. She focused on her powerpoint
and not students. She did not use technologies common in other classes (think: clickers) which usually
keep students awake. I know it might be difficult to have a lot of interaction with 50+ students, but it is not
impossible.
I enjoyed the class professor Smith is a good teacher and I liked the power-point because it was easy for
me to take notes because sometimes she spoke too quick for me. I could read the power-point at home
and that was very useful. I improved my English in that class.
