Comments from Instructors

13. What Was The Most Useful Part of the FYE Instructor Training for You?
To know that the FYE course(s) are structured in a standardized manner for consistency in teaching and learning outcomes and that the course(s) and materials have been already developed and ready to use.
The straightforwardness of the presenters about their expectations of FYE instructors. The syllabus format and its no nonsense wording.

14. What Was The Most Useful Part of the FYE Instructor Training for You?
The information for additional ideas in helping to keep the assignments interesting and the way in which the trainers taught their classes helps immensely.
I felt that the training opened my eyes to the need of the class for the students that attend our school.

15. Do You Have Additional Comments Concerning Today’s Training?
The training session was excellent - the trainers allowed for questions throughout the presentation, then enabled us to have our thoughts clarified immediately - we did not have to wait until the end of the session to ask questions.
Thanks! Even though I have taught this course for several years I value the opportunity to be updated and love the idea of certification.

16. Do You Have Additional Comments Concerning Today’s Training?
No-you both did an outstanding job. If all the courses that we offered at the college with that level of training / manuals for our adjuncts were provided, our quality would be outstanding!
I really like how you team teach this presentation. Great job!

17. Do You Have Additional Comments Concerning Today’s Training?

Great training. Looking forward to using the new ideas/activities in class.
