Evaluation for class of world history

  Well, I have to admit that it does is the most wonderful world history class I have experienced, I was totally impressed by this class, teacher and students.

  Just as you wrote on the syllabus, she is a very strong teacher with 7 higher ratings, and no lower ratings.

  At very beginning of the class, she told students the class objective clearly and concisely that they need to make observations and inference about Russian Peter Empire in specific aspects by using primary sources and other documents, and they also need to make a conclusion of group observations on sheet paper and present it in the end of class. Then, she asked students a question about soap stone for review although I don’t know what it is. Without any break, she told students it was the time to begin and they have 18-20 minutes to observe and share in group. Well, a really wonderful beginning and class structure she had done. I have to give her 5 points on rating of 1.

  And I also give her 5 points on rating of 3 because she had established the purpose of lesson and previewed the organization of lesson and concluded the lesson in the end, she also had a concise communication with students and logical sequencing and segmenting. Additionally, she demonstrated the students’ performance expectations and provided all essential information for observation without any irrelevant, confusing or nonessential information.

  Actually, she did so good on rating of 4 as well. The lesson started promptly and the lesson’s structure is coherent with a beginning, middle, end, and time for reflection. As you can see, her teaching pace was brisk and she provided many opportunities for individual students who progressed at different learning rates when they were in group learning.

  When she communicated with group students who were in observing progress, she asked them some purposeful and coherent questions from social impact to clothes of Peter Empire and came back and checked how was it going after brief group discussing. Students in group were enough positive to answer her questions and she also encouraged them to go ahead for observing and exploring. She also collected feedback from students and gave it back to them frequently in group working. So I think she also did well on academic feedback and questioning.

  Absolutely, she had a wise knowledge of lesson content and students so she performed excellent when she answered students’ questions and communicated with them authentically. And what’s more, she also did well on problem solving and thinking because in the end you can see, each group presented their conclusion of observations and inference successfully, distributed and shared their thinking on special aspects of Peter Empire excellently.

  I know students in video were all enjoying the class she taught and that class was the perfect student-center class I have experienced till now.
