Page 2, Q3. The instructor teaches in a way that helps me to learn or reinforces the material from the class.

I really love how she gives a lot of examples and explains their meaning. It really
helps me get an idea of what I should be writing about.

Mar 3, 2014 6:36 PM

Miss Cara does a very good job reinforcing the material into our heads, and
makes us apply what we learn.

Feb 21, 2014 3:18 PM

She is always there to review my work or help me with some questions via
canvas or in class.

Feb 20, 2014 10:19 PM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

She is more organized that any of my other teachers, and is always prepared for
class.

Feb 21, 2014 3:18 PM

Page 2, Q5. Assignments and grading procedures are explained in a way that makes sense to me.

I get a lot of constructive feedback, I see my work in a completely new light with
all the comments and observations; which are a lot and I think it's great Cara
takes the time to do this.

Mar 3, 2014 6:36 PM

The assignments are always explained clearly so if some one gets a bad grade
in her class then it is solely their fault. Also if you don't understand the
assignment, grading process, etc, Miss Stoddard is often available to talk to and
clarify.

Feb 21, 2014 3:18 PM

There are always in class instructions, Canvas instructions, and if needed she'll
go over it again to make sure you understand what it is the requirements are.

Feb 20, 2014 10:19 PM

One thing that would be very helpful is if she would explain the essay
assignments more clearly. Sometimes they're confusing, I don't know exactly
what she's looking for. Maybe if she would start explaining the essays at the
beginning of the units it would give us more time to think about what we need to
do? just a suggestion.

Feb 20, 2014 4:01 PM

Page 3, Q6. The instructor clearly explains the topics we cover in class.

We go over in class the topics we are studying every day, and she teaches and
explains them very well.

Feb 21, 2014 3:21 PM

Always.

Feb 20, 2014 10:20 PM

10 of 14

Page 3, Q7. The tests and/or assignments are related to content covered in the course.

Everything we study is on the test, there is never any random material thrown in.

Feb 21, 2014 3:21 PM

Even extra credit assignments are.

Feb 20, 2014 10:20 PM

Page 3, Q8. The instructor maintains a respectful environment where I am encouraged to ask questions and make
comments.

She really involves everyone in the class. She gives an opportunity for everyone
so they can say what they think and/or their opinion.

Mar 7, 2014 10:03 AM

I've made a couple dumb comments and I wasn't laughed at. I feel free to raise
my hand and give my opinion all the time.

Mar 3, 2014 6:39 PM

She is very encouraging and accepting of any answer that someone presents.
She encourages us often to speak up and expects us to.

Feb 21, 2014 3:21 PM

She is very open and enthusiastic about questions.

Feb 20, 2014 10:20 PM

Page 4, Q9. The instructor has high standards for achievement in this class and challenges me to think.

Ms. Stoddard makes us think outside the box and helps us examine our thoughts
in more depth.

Mar 7, 2014 10:05 AM

All the material forces me to think about the structure and content of my work.

Mar 3, 2014 6:41 PM

The quizzes and tests always make you think so it doesn't do anyone any good
to memorize the material, because you'll actually have to learn it.

Feb 21, 2014 3:26 PM

She's giving us more difficult assignments because she feels we are intelligent
enough to accomplish what is being asked of us.

Feb 20, 2014 10:24 PM

Page 4, Q10. The instructor promotes an environment where students of different race, ethnicity, background or
identity can work together in a productive manner.

Very accepting of different races and she promotes acceptance of many different
identities.

Feb 21, 2014 3:26 PM

She doesn't promote it, but we live in an era where your different race, ethnicity,
background or identity do not matter.

Feb 20, 2014 10:24 PM

Definitely! Cara teaches the best English classes ever. She's the best English
intructor I've had so far, makes me even enjoy the subject. And I used to despise
it.

Mar 3, 2014 6:42 PM

Absolutely! She is by far the best teacher I have had at the college.

Her strengths are she is willing to help any student that needs help, she makes

opinion. One of her weaknesses is that it takes away for her to grade some
assignments.

Mar 7, 2014 10:09 AM

Page 7, Q18. The instructors class site is clear and easy to navigate.

I know where to go all the time, it's easy to check my grades and the homework.
And to turn in all assignments online.

Mar 3, 2014 6:48 PM

Her class site is easier to navigate than any other teacher's!

Feb 21, 2014 3:28 PM

Extremely simple.

I really enjoy the way Cara teaches I would like it if she taught 102!

Feb 24, 2014 7:47 PM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

Professor Stoddard is always prepared with everything that is going to be


completed during the day. She also lays everything out at the beginning of class
and writes on the whiteboard everything that we will be doing in class that day
and in what order. This really helps to keep the class on track and to stay
organized.

Feb 27, 2014 2:38 PM

cara always writes down on the board what we are going to do and explains it
then we get started no time is wasted.

Feb 28, 2014 2:24 PM

Her class is a little boring at times, but shes a really nice teacher. We just spend
a lot of time in the beginning of the class on Ads and its a little boring sometimes.
But shes really pleasant and easy to talk to. I like her as a teacher.

Feb 24, 2014 10:21 PM

I think caras strengths are bringing things to our attention that we may not know I
really like how she explains things and is very very organized! I like how she
always offers to meet in her office if we don't understand or need help especially
on our essays.

Feb 24, 2014 7:53 PM

Page 2, Q3. The instructor teaches in a way that helps me to learn or reinforces the material from the class.

She tends to assume everyone in class has the same vocabulary as her, and by including that and her fast pace
explanations, I'm often left confused in class.

May 28, 2014 10:21 AM

Everything is highly academic and I feel legitimately challenged and educated.

May 28, 2014 10:17 AM

Nothing really seems to stick just because of the amount of information received in a short amount of time.

May 28, 2014 10:12 AM

I can tell she is very excited to teach the material to her students.

May 6, 2014 2:48 PM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

She comes to class prepared.

May 28, 2014 10:21 AM

Always has a plan and something to be discussed in class.

May 28, 2014 10:17 AM

She has things ready.

May 28, 2014 10:12 AM

It's a new class and has all the same kinks to work out that any new class would. The organization and preparedness of
the instructor is fine for such a new class.

May 6, 2014 7:51 PM

Page 2, Q5. Assignments and grading procedures are explained in a way that makes sense to me.

Could improve on both. Assignments really need to be explained further.

May 28, 2014 10:21 AM

Easy to follow class and canvas instructions.

May 28, 2014 10:17 AM

At first she didn't with our first major assignment but she seems to have realized that and attempted to correct with the
2nd essay

May 28, 2014 10:12 AM

16 of 21

Page 3, Q6. The instructor clearly explains the topics we cover in class.

Topic are covered well enough.

May 28, 2014 10:23 AM

Cara is great at explaining the topics but I feel she often reaches a bit too far. Think grasping at straws, I can understand
this though because it's the first time this class has been taught and she still doesn't have all the kinks worked out.

May 28, 2014 10:18 AM

As was said before, too much information in two short a time for it to really be concise.

May 28, 2014 10:13 AM

Page 3, Q7. The tests and/or assignments are related to content covered in the course.

Yes, and no. Study sheets that she claims will also provide answers to the test didn't.

May 28, 2014 10:23 AM

Page 3, Q8. The instructor maintains a respectful environment where I am encouraged to ask questions and make comments.

It is encouraged to discuss the material read and formulate ideas and concepts around them.

She has built a classroom environment that allows students to interact with each other, and encourages students to share
their thoughts/opinions.

Page 5, Q14. I would recommend this instructor to another student

This is a very fun and challenging class that with a bit more work in knocking out the kinks would make a great addition
as a permanent course. Cara is great in everything she does and is a fun professor to be around.

She is pretty punctual. She also allows for questions to be asked but she knows when we need to move the topic along.
Professor Stoddard also helps us understand what we did wrong in our essays and quizzes. She is very nice and flexible.

May 28, 2014 12:59 PM

Strengths: Fun, good-natured, challenging Weaknesses: Over thinks things

May 28, 2014 10:23 AM

Being open after 1 is a great time to talk with her about class related things.

May 28, 2014 10:22 AM

Sometimes assignments are not very clear

May 28, 2014 10:21 AM

Very informative during class and helps as much as possible if a student has confusion or questions. Allows for open
discussion and opinions through out class periods.

May 28, 2014 10:20 AM

She makes students think critically, but doesn't seem to really care about what the students think. When someone makes
a comment or says something, sometimes she just keeps going like no one said anything.

May 28, 2014 10:20 AM

Shes very understanding and forgiving.

May 28, 2014 10:18 AM

late to class by a few minutes most days but other than that no complaints

A bit to fast in speech. High energy.

May 28, 2014 10:15 AM

13

online, which is awesome when you've got important questions.

May 7, 2014 5:27 PM

14

She is kind and helpful. She is a great teacher and is considerate about how we feel.

May 6, 2014 8:38 PM

15

Cara is very good at making everyone in the class feel welcome and wanting to ask questions and otherwise participate
in class. She does seem a bit unsure of herself sometimes but that can probably be explained by how new the class is for
everyone.

May 28, 2014 10:45 PM

each day I come into class I know what we are going to be doing. Cara tells the class at the end of class what to expect
the next day. she that reminds us at the beginning of class.

She is very good at making time out of the class room to help with all questions!

grading needs to be done faster.

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

The only thing I have a comment about is that I wish that we had gotten a entire paper about the PIE method by itself so
we could refer back to it while writing our papers.

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

overall great teacher. helped me throughout the course.

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

1. Great listener 2. Always there to help 3. Great teacher

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

Great teacher. Always was learning, tough on my GPA

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

During computer lab time, I felt Cara went a little fast and I was confused for most of the instructions given. Only because
we had to think of what we wanted to write about in the exercise at the time and learn new things on posting to our blogs
or looking things up. For me personally it was too much at once sometimes.

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

Strengths- always organized never lost with what is going on in class Weaknesses- I find it hard to answer questions in
class because I have felt like you tell students their answer is wrong when the class discussion is mainly based on
opinions, so maybe that's why nobody wants to talk in class.

May 28, 2014 11:26 AM

Helpful, patient, understanding

May 28, 2014 11:25 AM

10

Weaknesses include being organized in a physical manner, her papers are all over the place some days and that needs
work. She should com prepared to hand out anything she needs to not digging in her bag to find something.

May 28, 2014 11:24 AM

11

She's very committed to help students.

May 28, 2014 11:23 AM

12

She is really good with taking your ideas on essays and helping you expand them. She makes the coursework easy to
understand through group discussions. However she could improve on getting more people involved.

May 28, 2014 11:17 AM

a strength is always having a plan. she also make me think beyond just the information.

Page 2, Q3. The instructor teaches in a way that helps me to learn or reinforces the material from the class.

The atmosphere of this class is open and the content of literature we have covered has been vast, extremely interesting,
and relative to our lives as both students and human beings. It is an environment where I see the majority of my
classmates actually wanting to contribute their best efforts. Our instructor allows us room for creative analyzation, while
guiding us to catch deeper meanings that we may not have come up with on our own. I feel like I have learned how to
approach content with a more discerning eye, which will assist me when I must manipulate material in the future that
doesn't necessarily please or interest me on a personal level. There is a healthy balance of freedom of speech and
requirement to adhere to guidelines through assignment deadlines and specific requirements.

May 28, 2014 12:56 PM

I feel that Cara Stoddard did an amazing job of having high expectations, while helping the students achieve those
expectations.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

this teacher really gets to each persons responses and makes sure everyone understands unlike other teachers i've had.
she makes me feel comfortable even if i answer wrong.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

I thought she was going to be a lot harder to understand and to get along with than she really is. The way she teaches is
super easy to understand and she is easy to talk to if you need help or have questions.

May 28, 2014 12:47 PM

She's a teacher: she presents the material she expects us to learn, and we talk about it in class. What more is there to
say, lol.

May 28, 2014 12:47 PM

My favorite teacher here.

May 28, 2014 12:46 PM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

I really appreciate our instructors efforts to supplement reading material along with our required book purchases. The
units were chunked in manageable amounts of material, but on the edge of being challenging. I really wanted to read
more of some of these authors, and will do so in my free time this summer.

May 28, 2014 12:56 PM

She is extremely prepared and has the whole class schedule up so the students always know what we do in class and
the homework we need to have done for each day.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

She is generally organized in that she has a good plan, but she sometimes struggles in not being able to cover everything
in her plan.

May 28, 2014 12:47 PM

16 of 22

Page 2, Q5. Assignments and grading procedures are explained in a way that makes sense to me.

Her canvas system is set up differently then normal teachers would do, i find that it's a lot better system and i'm happy to
use it. It makes dealing with class easier and tells me how each day goes so i can stay prepared and on top of things.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

syllabus is always very handy and clear.

May 28, 2014 12:46 PM

Page 3, Q6. The instructor clearly explains the topics we cover in class.

My instructor has been abundantly patient with me, and I can also see, with others, when either the topic was challenging
to own, or the technical aspects, for example, in blogging were hard to understand.

May 28, 2014 12:58 PM

Not only does she explain them, but we always end up doing examples in class too so i can learn by doing them with her.

May 28, 2014 12:51 PM

She makes sure to check that we fully understands what she expects of us.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

does a great job in explaining and answering questions.

Page 3, Q8. The instructor maintains a respectful environment where I am encouraged to ask questions and make comments.

I love the discussions we have in this class. I don't want to miss it. Healthy, and we move on before things get too
intense. Urge me to research and contemplate when i am beyond homework or classroom environment. Inspiring.

May 28, 2014 12:58 PM

We are encouraged to speak our minds and even if a student is a little off, we always brain storm and the teacher gets us
right back on topic and includes different perspectives.

May 28, 2014 12:51 PM

I loved the discussions that we would have during class. They helped me relate to the stuff we were working on.

May 28, 2014 12:50 PM

Stoddard always encourages class discussion about the contents we are covering in order for all the students to get
creative ideas or answer questions. She treats every students input respectfully.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

She always asks for our opinions first before giving us hers and makes sure that we understand the topic fully.

May 28, 2014 12:48 PM

I feel very safe sharing my personal opinions in this class.

May 28, 2014 12:48 PM

everyone is able to have their time to speak.

May 28, 2014 12:47 PM

Page 4, Q9. The instructor has high standards for achievement in this class and challenges me to think.

This class was definitely challenging, but very useful.

May 28, 2014 12:56 PM

Occasionally she cancels a problem because she decides it was "too hard" for the class to handle. Challenge us. Give
us a chance to exceed expectations.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

her classes are always a challenge in a good way

May 28, 2014 12:48 PM

Page 4, Q10. The instructor promotes an environment where students of different race, ethnicity, background or identity can work together in a

Strengths 1. Make the best use of class time 2. Goes over previous homework assignments or discusses upcoming
homework assignments 3. Keeps a good learning environment during class Weaknesses 1. Might not always grade
assignments in a timely manner

May 28, 2014 12:58 PM

This instructor was thorough in teaching each section, despite having to go through so much in a small time frame and
her class encouraged us students to be open-minded.

May 28, 2014 12:57 PM

really good at listening and explaining assignments, shes always nice to everyone, and makes me feel comfortable in the
classroom.

May 28, 2014 12:54 PM

Challenges us into a new territory. Makes us think and analyze the purpose of an assignment. A little bit confusing at
times not always.

May 28, 2014 12:50 PM

includes all students makes class enjoyable likes to talk to us like people and not just students

May 28, 2014 12:50 PM

She is very organized and always has an answer if i have a question. If i dont understand something she does a good job
explaining it, and i can reach her at almost any time of the day.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

Patient, clear in what she expects, always available when needed, encouraging.

May 28, 2014 12:49 PM

I feel as though there isn't none of weaknesses.

Page 2, Q3. The instructor teaches in a way that helps me to learn or reinforces the material from the class.

The quizzes make me actually have to read the articles and being able to retake
them helps me remember it better

Nov 20, 2014 10:14 AM

Not everyone can learn the material in the way she teaches. utterly confusing
and frustrating. makes you not even want to go to class

Nov 16, 2014 7:14 PM

She does a very good job at giving instruction and is a pleasant instructor.

Nov 4, 2014 4:59 PM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

She always has everything planned out and ready for the class so we can go
strait to the lesson for the day.

Nov 4, 2014 4:59 PM

Page 2, Q5. Assignments and grading procedures are explained in a way that makes sense to me.

I like how she sits down and actually explains in a way I understand.

She makes sure we know where and how we went wrong and asks questions to
make sure we are getting what we need.

Nov 20, 2014 10:14 AM


Nov 4, 2014 4:59 PM

Makes sure we all understand content.

Nov 20, 2014 10:14 AM

Nov 16, 2014 7:15 PM

There is never confusion as to what to do in the class.

Nov 4, 2014 5:01 PM

Page 3, Q8. The instructor maintains a respectful environment where I am encouraged to ask questions and make
comments.

Some teachers are not so good at making the students feel welcome; however,
she does her best at making everyone feel comfortable and encourages
everyone to ask questions.

Nov 4, 2014 5:01 PM

me where and when appropriate to meet and it was an overall great experience.

Cara was very pleasant and I enjoyed her class. I also felt I learned a lot from
her.

Nov 24, 2014 3:48 PM

She is very good in making sure everyone knows what's going on and has a
better understanding of the topic we are learning about.

Nov 20, 2014 10:16 AM

She is very intelligent and organized.

Nov 20, 2014 10:16 AM

Always is clear about assignment. no weaknesses.

Nov 20, 2014 10:15 AM

She's very good at not seeming like she's better than you. She seems like she's
human, unlike some who act like they can do no wrong and always have
everything together well.

Nov 20, 2014 10:15 AM

I like how she encourages us to have our own opinion and how she helps us find
material to use. She is encouraging, and she explains things well.

Nov 20, 2014 10:15 AM

Great instructor very patient Listens well

Nov 19, 2014 10:40 AM

helps alot

Nov 18, 2014 2:59 PM

teaches in her own way and not in a way that students can grasp.

Nov 16, 2014 7:16 PM

Make more of an effort to connect to your students. Teach things that students
can relate and feel more engaged.

Nov 14, 2014 8:10 PM

she promotes a friendly environment in the classroom. she is extremely helpful

Nov 10, 2014 7:38 AM

She is very focused and attentive and makes the student feel comfortable and
welcome as well as very encouraged to ask questions if confused.

Nov 4, 2014 5:10 PM

Have more activities that get everyone attentions or makes students have more
discussion which would help the class feel easier to talk to fell students.

i suck at english and she made it easy for me.

Nov 20, 2014 11:31 AM

Too much Politcal involvement in Class.Too bias toward politics.

Nov 16, 2014 4:22 PM

Stoddard allows to ask questions even if there the most smallest, irrelevant
questions. When I don't u derstand something, she always tries to review it as
much as she can so I'll make sure what I'm doing.

Nov 13, 2014 2:38 PM

I really enjoy the way she has us practice our writing skills, for me it has
improved the way I academically write.

Nov 4, 2014 8:16 PM

I have never learned so much in an English class before.

Nov 4, 2014 4:37 PM

no information or work information is ever misunderstood.

Nov 20, 2014 11:31 AM

always has an outline of the material we're going to do in class upon the board.

Nov 19, 2014 3:47 PM

She always has a great topic to discuss in class & always comes prepared with
an assignment.

Nov 13, 2014 2:38 PM

She always has a plan for us and we, as a class, fallow the syllabus very closely.

Nov 4, 2014 8:16 PM

Always has something for us to do, I paid for a great class.

Nov 20, 2014 11:31 AM

ready to help and answer questions.

Nov 20, 2014 11:29 AM

Too much of High Standards for individuals who have began class for the first
time.

Nov 16, 2014 4:22 PM

She gives feedback on our assignments so we know if we need to improve or if


everything is good.

Nov 4, 2014 8:16 PM

Everything I turn in has been graded fairly and she always explains to us what
was wrong.

Nov 4, 2014 4:37 PM

Page 3, Q6. The instructor clearly explains the topics we cover in class.

Whenever someone has certain doubts over an article we're reviewing, we

covers everything.

Nov 4, 2014 8:17 PM

not enough time to complete assignments needs to take in consideration

Nov 16, 2014 4:24 PM

When I met up with her after class to discuss my essay, not only does she
explain what she expects in the essay assignment, she actually pushes you to
think and review your own essay without just giving you the "right" answers.

Nov 13, 2014 2:42 PM

Assignments are very challenging and very hard. Sometimes I don't know what
to do.

Nov 5, 2014 1:28 PM

There aren't any dates on the syllabus that are for assignment returns, but we do

bad grades. Too much homework everyday.

Nov 20, 2014 11:29 AM

Always very helpful whenever I need help with anything. No weaknesses.

Nov 20, 2014 10:15 AM

strengths- Well organized,Graded on time , on time for class Weakness-too


strict when comes to grading assignment, Lack of respect when it comes to
showing how to and what she expects out of the class

Nov 16, 2014 4:29 PM

I think Stoddard's class overall was very challenging, but in a good way! You can
tell that she wants to challenge her students to be a better writer, while at the
same time, learning something new throughout the semester. I have learned
new techniques and can't wait what she has for English 102!

Nov 13, 2014 2:47 PM

10

Sucks at making assignments, too much homework everyday and over the
weekend. Not everybody is as smart and not everybody can write a 1000 words
essays in a short period of time.

Nov 5, 2014 1:28 PM

11

Strengths: -friendly -easy to fallow -good communicator -cares for her students teaches, in a way that I can't describe, so that I and others will learn and
remember the material Weaknesses: -Says the word "um" often

Nov 4, 2014 8:24 PM

12

She makes it comfortable for me to talk with her about any of my assignments.
She is funny. She always explains things when she knows we don't have a clue
what she's saying.

Page 2, Q3. The instructor teaches in a way that helps me to learn or reinforces the material from the class.

She had to re-teach a class period because she admitted she hadn't explained
things in a way that she felt the class understood. She was correct.

Nov 5, 2014 9:17 AM

Page 2, Q4. The instructor is organized and prepared.

Overly so

Nov 10, 2014 6:14 PM

It is often unclear as to which room the class will be held in. Several times this
has changed last minute.

Nov 5, 2014 9:17 AM

Page 2, Q5. Assignments and grading procedures are explained in a way that makes sense to me.

She is really confusing to understand what she is teaching.

Page 5, Q14. I would recommend this instructor to another student

teacher, been my English teacher for every one of my English classes because

Page 6, Q15. List strengths or weaknesses for this instructor. Any additional information, please list

Thorough, answers questions, is very personal. Explains what would confuse us


when we would read alone and did not understand. Though some projects make
us think outside of the mainstream, some bogged me down to the point of
discouragement and frustration, Where Rivers Change Directions, for example. It
was too dense with explanation of things that could have been summed up with
half of the words and the author was vulgar in intimate ways that made me feel
so uncomfortable i didn't want to keep reading it. Other than that the method in
her madness was refreshing. She is an excellent teacher.

Nov 23, 2014 9:42 PM

Her style of teaching is completely confusing!

Nov 12, 2014 9:23 AM

cara is one of the best teachers at bbcc. she teachers in a way that you can
always understand, explains things very well.

Nov 10, 2014 11:58 PM

Over schedules herself and isn't able to get to some assignments. (Which is fine
by me :) She is an excellent teacher. Very personable. Thinks outside of the box.
And is without doubt extremely competent. I have been frustrated by her
assignments because they lie outside of the mainstream, but she analyses them
with precision and conveys it clear as a bell which expands our learning
experience and makes us think deeper. I like thinking analytically, even when
pushed outside of my comfort zone.

Nov 10, 2014 6:23 PM

She does a great job at answering any questions and explaining the material.
No weaknesses

None

I don't keep up with it, but she explains it in class using the sight itself, so i never
have to.

Nov 23, 2014 9:43 PM

the site is very essay!

Nov 10, 2014 11:58 PM

Cara Stoddard is one of my favorite teachers and i would love to take another
one of her classes except for the fact that I hate English. Cara makes it bearable.
