If you are interested in making more sense (or helping others make sense) of your teaching evaluations...

Then call us and make an appointment to talk about your course evaluations.  We can help you review student feedback to identify areas that are your strengths and we can discuss strategies on how you might build a better environment for learning in your classes.  Effective teaching means more time for your other responsibilities.  We can also help you package your course evaluations for academic review and if you are a graduate student, for future academic positions.  Call Barbara V. Fernandez (949) 824 6060 to schedule an appointment.
