Personal Meaning in Assignments

I enjoy seeing students return with response papers after a lengthy assignment and really give feedback to what they have learned and what it means to them personally. There are many methods to allow students to share personal reactions without opening any wounds or calling them out when they are not ready to share personal information. I think response papers are key to this. They are forced to respond personally, but can discuss a sliver of their opinion without judgement.

Great approach! This is better than the evaluation the schools use to have students evaluate professors. They are able to take this project home and work on it in a timely manner and not be rushed.

Zane,
Good way to get accurate and candid feedback from students. Your approach is low key and doesn't put pressure on anyone to share their opinions.
