A few selected comments from student evaluations:
“I would rank her teaching ability very high. She was enthusiastic, easily approachable, and was well prepared for each class meeting. I really enjoyed her as a teacher and feel that my writing has improved.”
“Professor Rose had us do a lot of self evaluation of our writing and that definitely helps me with how i should structure my writing process.”
“She is an excellent instructor. I have been challenged to improve my wring through deeper thought and better supporting details.”
“I enjoyed the scheduled office meetings to discuss difficult parts of assignments while we were working on them. In class she explained projects clearly, and online rubrics were given so that we knew how we were going to be graded.”
“My teacher was a very articulate instructor. She always led discussions about projects and readings in conversational way, which provided an environment that accepted many ideas and was open to everyone’s perspective. She was readily available for conferences about specific projects and this allowed great one-on-one time to connect on an individual level to discuss our projects and how we can make them better.”
“I have grown in my understanding of the scientific community. This course has been one of my most valuable of my ISU career. I have learned so much about writing and being effective to the scientific community and the general public.”
“The instructor did an excellent job of exposing each student to different forms of biological communications that could be in their future line of work.
“The professor encouraged students and spoke at our level. She included relevant topics that kept us engaged. A discourse community has their own vocabulary and by the time we were done, the class was so enthusiastic on the subject we started making our discourse vocabulary.”
“I was pushed to explore genres outside of my comfort zone and topics I was unfamiliar with which helped me grow as a reader.”
“My instructor challenged me to think of writing in a way I never had before.”
