Teaching Self-evaluation, 10 points maximum. Superior teaching is a combination of careful planning (including a well thought-out and detailed syllabus) and excellent skills and performance in the classroom. Courses within the major are part of the knowledge and skill base that contribute to the learning outcomes within the major. Using at least two of the courses you taught as your examples (when possible courses at different levels), describe your attention to course design and assignments intended to engage students and help them achieve the stated learning goals for the course.
· How was the course designed? Describe how assignments built upon each other and created increasingly complex skills and understandings among your students.
· Which skills, in particular, were you addressing through the content and assignments in this course?
· Finally, how did these courses each contribute to the learning outcomes for the majors in your discipline? Describe your classroom strengths, particularly instructional techniques
and innovations, as well as the teaching issues that you found challenging in your attempt to be a superior classroom teacher. (2,000 word limit)
