Evidence of Teaching Experience

Dr. Robert Garot

 

Below is a summary of my teaching evaluation scores for every course I have designed and taught independently.  Although the variables are ordinal, I present averages rather than frequencies to provide an easily scanable document.  Also, such averages are often accepted for administrative purposes.  Note that for almost every course, instructor scores surpass course scores.  Further details are available upon request.

 

For my philosophy of teaching, undergraduate writing guidelines, and course syllabi, please see my webpage:  http://www.geocities.com/~vpagliai/garot/home.htm.
