Student suggestions for criteria of faculty competency
| Criteria | Examples of student quotes within the study |
|---|---|
| Clarity in communication | “A faculty who can deliver the information to the students in its simplest form” |
| Balancing care and expectations | “They see them as a friend but respect is still there” |
| Respectful feedback (e.g. helps student save face) | “Whenever you say something, the professor should not turn around your answer just to make you look bad” |
| Value class time by being prepared | “It is not acceptable to say you forgot to print the papers, you will go to get the papers, or that the projector is not working. Okay, you must have a backup … you still have to explain [yourself]” |
| Relevance of examples | “It is not good when some faculty teach as if the students have an entire background of a topic; as if they are graduate students when they are not” |
