How helpful have you found that? Do you think it's a bit too late?

Thanks Susan! I think those questions would be valuable when presenting non-concrete material. Now what if I'm presenting a course using factual material (e.g. anatomy & physiology, pharmacology)?
Completion tests were mentioned as being objective; wouldn't they be subjective instead? If not, how are completion tests objective?

I am convinced about the importance in asking good questions. But my problem is this: I can't think of any good impromptu questions to ask (when I have time to create questions, that's different). So my questions are two-fold: 1. How can I grow in being able to ask better impromptu questions? 2. What has been the best method in creating questions? How do you come up with a "good" question?

Thank you for your response Gary. I like what you said about distributing the anonymous surveys; I plan to do that next term and seek input from other instructors here. Your second paragraph about comparing trends over classes sounds like hospitals creating reports this year compared to the previous year (be it culture & sensitivity, new regimen implementation, etc.). How would you seek to compare the feedback with students in the same class? How frequently would you seek input from them about their overall experience? Do you think students will become tired of filling out the same survey week after… >>>

As someone who has completed pharmacy school, I'm aware of the importance of monitoring patients and modifying their therapy based on objective data (e.g. their blood pressure, heart rate, glucose levels, electrolytes, lipid panels). Based on those values, I can modify their therapy where appropriate (e.g. increase/decrease dose). I could be wrong, but in the teaching profession, I've found that seeking input from students, as valuable as that is, is based more on a subjective viewpoint. Based on this module, I do plan on having them fill out sheets that encourages their feedback. What I want to know is this:… >>>

I started instructing at my career institute here a couple of days ago, and I really enjoy it! The problem is, I already have female students who are attracted to my appearance, and they are not even in the program I instruct! So... what do I do? How do I handle being in this situation? How can I avoid this situation in a professional way?
