Great Idea For End Of Semester: Have Students Do Self-Evaluation

Professor Ted Panitz (Cape Cod Community College) has his students do a self-evaluation at the end of each semester. This is done separately from the teaching evaluation typically done at most universities and gives the students a chance to reflect on their own contribution to the learning process. Questions he asks include:

 

Have your attitudes or feelings about [subject matter] changed?

 

How do you feel you performed in this course?

 

What would you do differently if you had a chance to do this all over again?

What a great idea! I'm trying to get concerned teachers and parents to pay attention to what schools are using to disinfect for H1N1. Many don’t realize that cleaning supplies are often more hazardous than the H1N1virus itself. Even bleach, because it has to be diluted properly (and usually isn't) can be dangerous when incorrectly used. Here are some resources to help parents determine what their schools are using, and what they should be using: H1N1 in Schools and Environmental Working Group Report on Schools
