They Like Me. They Really Like Me.
Like all teachers, I greatly appreciate feedback on my classes. One of the guilds at which I taught this spring provides this, through the use of surveys. I just got the stats and was delighted at the excellent responses I received!
Demonstrating in a Double Reverse Applique class
I taught two full day classes. When asked about my preparedness, 100% of the 15 responders said I was extremely prepared. About my level of knowledge, 100% said I was very knowledgeable (the best response possible.) These are exactly my standards for myself, and I’m so glad my students feel like I’m achieving them!
Students also provided several complimentary comments with their responses. One said “Ellen is great: knowledgeable, upbeat, and helpful.” Another said, “Great teacher: encouraging and always happy to help.” Watch out! I think my head is swelling!
I think a class survey is an excellent idea. The one used by this guild is online, so it’s very easy for students to participate. Their form asks about everything from the teaching to the lighting. Very useful information!

P.S. I’d love to visit your guild as well. Teaching information here.
Amen to the good marks you got on your survey sheets. Your online classes are full of inspiration and information and you are very attentive to feedback. I can only imagine that your in-person classes are even more so.

Ellen, I am glad you received such good feedback. It is well deserved. I have enjoyed all of the online classes that I have taken from you.
Thanks, ladies. I really appreciate this additional praise! (Head swelling even more.) 🙂
