Student suggestions for criteria of faculty competency

CriteriaExamples 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”
