During this semester I can honestly say that I learnt a lot of things.

\medskip

This course was the first course I took about teaching in the class. Thus,
now I know that I can prepare better presentations just using the strategies
I learnt from the class.

\medskip

My further improvement should be to let students ask questions and to ask
students a question so that I can make them contribute the class. I always
prefered to finish my presentation in time. But I realized that finishing
the presentation does not mean anything if the audience did not understand
anything.

\medskip

I will try to reduce the details from the presentation and let audiences
digest the subject(issue). I should work on my blackboard usage also.
Preparing a little more transparency seems to be good idea to express the
subject with more drawings. I think audiences can comprehend the subject
faster with conceptual drawings than without them.

\medskip

The course can be evaluated as {\bf successful}. I wish we had more opportunity
to prepare presentations and try to use several other teaching aids such as
computers, video, Worl Wide Web,..etc. I think doing three presentation is not
bad because we need to evaluate themselves also, and we need some information
about teaching and American Culture. Trying to put them together into one course
and finishing them in 10-12 weeks is not an easy job to do. I think you did this
well. In my opinion, we need some further information about teaching and
handling the different situations in the class( we did this stuff but I think
we should work on it a little more to understand the real situations in the
class and their differences from our culture).

\medskip

I appreciate your effort in this course. Trying to force everybody to speak
every class and letting them speak without interrupting even if you can fall 
behind on the subject you want to cover, is not an easy job. Thank you for
everything you did for us.
