  1. Soliciting the Voice of our Student CustomersCEITOctober 10, 2012 Sophie Godley, MPH Clinical Assistant Professor Director, Undergraduate Education

  2. Who inspires your teaching?

  3. My teaching: My students

  4. Graduate and undergraduate students

  5. Godley My (initial) reluctance • Too much to do anyway • Fear of negative comments • Thinking in terms of “good” and “bad” – not iterative, mutual • What if it’s really about “their learning” and not “my teaching?”

  6. Godley Three examples from the classroom: midcourse evaluations Women Children & Adolescents (grad level, 81 students) Fall 2011: Used Blackboard, very quick survey Safer Sex & Public Health (mixed class, 60 students) Spring 2012 Pen and paper survey Women Children & Adolescents (grad level, 84 students) Fall 2012: using blog, Facebook

  7. An opportunity to receive, and also to give, feedback • Discuss contradictory feedback • “some of you are enjoying…” • “some of you aren’t…” • Reminder about expectations • -I will not recite the readings • -Facebook, gchat and email in class • I can’t grade 84 papers…

  8. Midcourse evaluations (MC705) • 49/57 = 86% response rate • Discussions and class atmosphere • Scholarly debate, trusting one another • Time allocated for discussion • Staying on schedule w/readings • Class size

  9. Need to be addressed • “Normal”“Abnormal” • I don't like the word "normal." If that's what happens to you, then that's what is important. Doesn't matter if you're only one in the world. • Bisexuality: invisible • Anatomy & physiology

  10. What’s next? • Work to continue productive discussions • Your role: Do the reading! Come to class! • Keep talking to me about what is working and what isn’t…

  11. Anatomy & Physiology Lab
