Firm but Fair

Yes I believe my personal values come into play when I evaluate my students, but I based it on effort and hard work. I give my students class assignments and homework assignments giving them various opportunities to learn the subject in different ways. I do not use only chapter test to evaluate students on the whole but it gives me a pulse of my class on where we need to go next. They have individual assignments as well as group assignments using their kinetics skills to also be evaluated because students learn in various ways. Dr. Burns also stated feedback from the students is a tool that can be used to evaluate also. But effort plays a vital role with me when a student is truly working hard and putting they best foot forward I tend to grade with a curve with these students (mostly my students who accept the challenge to learn).
