13. What are the instructor's major strengths as a teacher? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
His strengths as a teacher is that he's not
mechanical and very authentic and real. In
other words, he cares if the students
retain the information or not.
Professor Friedrich's strengths were his
way of showing us examples, being on
task with communication, and just his
patience and effort he showed for his
students.
Very entertaining, makes science relatable
He taught the course in a collegiate way,
making the course work clear and available.
He provided space for questions.
His self-confidence gains students trust in that he knows what he is talking about.
He connects with students
Being able to break down and explain difficult
parts of the course material into a very
simple, intellectual way of understanding it.
He makes sure that you understand the
material and always lets you know if you
are doing well or are in need of extra help.
He always has his lecture presentations
ready on laulima before class starts.

14. What changes, if any, do you suggest to the instructor? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
No changes at all
A change I would suggest is the way he
teaches certain material in class. There
were times I didn't understand something
he taught us in class and so, I asked
about it during his office hours. When we
spoke about it just one-on-one, only then
was I able to understand it. Maybe its just
me, but I feel like he explained it
differently from when he did it class to
when we spoke with just the two of us.
Have some extra credit so students can
catch up
Nothing at all.

15. How did the instructor show concern for students? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
He showed concern by staying after class
and answering certain student's detailed
questions - because we were very worried
about the exam.
Professor Friedrich showed concern by
giving us reminders. Whenever he mass-
emailed us regarding assignments and
exams, he'd notify us that there are
students who are missing homework
assignments. Of course he didn't single
out these students, but just the fact that
he inputted it helps us (or at least me) to
get boogie on to turning those
assignments in. He also would sometimes
stop individual students at the end of class
to talk to them, to check up on how they're
doing. These are usually the students who
have a number of missing assignments
and who haven't shown up to class in a
while. I know this because I was one of
those students he stopped.
He replies fast
He would reach out to each, making sure their
questions were answered and educational
needs were being met.
He offered to meet with students who had missed class if they had any questions on material they had missed.
He wants his students to really get what
he is teaching so they know what is going
on in the world.
Would email students who haven't turn in their
homework assignments as it counts towards
our exam grade. And would email them again,
if we don't reply.
He would ask them to stay after class for
a few minutes to discuss their options or
just to let them know if they have any
missing assignments or if he feels that
they are falling behind.

16. Would you recommend this instructor to students? Why or why not? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Yes, definitely because he is very lively
and stale. Very energetic and has a
vibrant personality.
I would recommend Professor Friedrich to
students. Although the in-class lectures
are hard to comprehend (but I feel like its
always going to be that way if science isn't
your strong subject), he's very open to
questions and will definitely put time and
effort to make sure students understand
the material.
Yes, very much so. He is very
knowledgable and fun
I would highly recommend him to everyone
because of how well he teaches the course
and cares for the individual student.
Yes.
Yes 100% because he helps you and he
cares about the students that show that
they want to be there and do good.
Yes, he knows the course material well, can
explain it in terms that makes understanding it
easier and he's really nice.
Yes, I would highly recommend him
because this class was broken down into
very clear and easy to understand
sections. I can understand his material
and it is a very fun environment.

17. What else would you like to say about this instructor? |
||||||||||||||||||
|
Very good communicator and takes step
slowly (one step at a time) which is very
good to retain the information; even
though there are a lot of information to be
covered.
Out of all the professors I have for this
semester, Professor Friedrich is the
teacher who I have met with the most
outside of class. Not because its my most
hardest class, but because I felt like he
always made time for me somehow. Even
if it meant he had to come to school early,
before his scheduled class time, he would.
He'd even stay after class to address my
questions. Although there was a class
after our class, it didn't stop him from
ending our conversation. He'd take us to a
table outside to finish up. He's a professor
who gives reassurance to those who ask
for it.
He's a good teacher, hope he had more
classes
One of my favorite teachers.
He is energetic and enthusiastic. Professional, yet personable.
Thank you for everything.
He is one of the best teachers that I have
ever had.
