Help! - Emily Cashman

I think you taught this class really well logdog, and you taught to the test, but not in a boring or awful way. I felt really prepared for the test and didn't stress out about it before hand because I knew what it would be like and wasn't nervous. I liked how we didn't always do timed writings, practice multiple choice tests, and socratic seminars back to back to back throughout the whole year because that would've become extremely boring and your class wouldn't have been as fun. Another thing I liked about how your class was set us was that even though the practice multiple choice tests weren't taken up for actual grades, everyone still tried on them which can be attributed to how taught us to view the test and take it seriously even if it didn't immediately and directly affect our grade. One of the only things I didn't like in your class this year were the socratic seminars. Now, I didn't have a problem with the seminars themselves or talking in class, I just didn't fully understand how they related to everything else we were doing in class. Also, I think it would've been much more beneficial if we had gotten feedback from the first one prior to starting the second one so we could've known what to change. I think it would have been helpful too if the feedback was based on our written work and also what we said in the actual discussions. Overall, I loved your class and learned to not hate writing all thanks to you! I don't think there's much you need to change as a teacher so keep up the great work logdog!!!
