Scientific teaching forms the core of my teaching philosophy. Question 1 Please respond on a scale of 1-5: 1=strongly agree; 2=agree; 3=neutral; 4= disagree; 5=strongly disagree
Question 2 Students learn science best by doing science. Please respond on a scale of 1-5: 1=strongly agree; 2=agree; 3=neutral; 4= disagree; 5=strongly disagree
Question 3 Science should be taught as it is practiced. Please respond on a scale of 1-5: 1=strongly agree; 2=agree; 3=neutral; 4= disagree; 5=strongly disagree
Question 4 How important is it to use multiple kinds of data to assess student learning? Please respond on a scale if 0-100 in increments of 10:
Question 5 What percent of the assessment data from your students do you use to make instructional decisions? Please respond on a scale of 0 - 100 in increments of 10:
Question 6 Please respond on a scale of 1-5: 1=strongly agree; 2=agree; 3=neutral; 4= disagree; 5=strongly disagree Scientific teaching usually occurs in lecture classes (large or small) in my department.
In my department, excellence/scholarship in teaching is rewarded at a level comparable to excellence/scholarship in research. Question 7 Please respond on a scale of 1-5: 1=strongly agree; 2=agree; 3=neutral; 4= disagree; 5=strongly disagree
