Teaching Lessons from Course Evaluations

Dave Stachowiak and I talk about teaching lessons from my course evaluations on episode 165 of the Teaching in Higher Ed podcast.

Quotes from the episode

I hope students realize that I’m learning too, and I’m willing to grow and change and adapt.
— Dave Stachowiak

Is there anything worthwhile you can glean from this [evaluation] that can make you a better teacher?
— Bonni Stachowiak
