The evaluation questions were both quantitative and qualitative. The quantitative questions had a scale of strongly agree to strongly disagree. Since there’s no time to go over all the questions our discussion will focus more on the qualitative questions. The two main questions asked the teachers if they were prepared to teach a university course and this is what they said (examples from the slides will come in here).
