TFS Issue Evaluation "Receives Excellent Rating"

Teaching For Success, Vol. 19. No. 6

(Note: This evaluation was produced by Barbara Weiner without compensation and without being asked to create this report).

ORIGINALITY: Excellent: All articles and ideas are of original authors and all came up clear after Internet cross-check methodology.

SIGNIFICANCE/RELEVANCE: Excellent: This issue is wonderful in its' usefulness and motivational tone. It holds the readers attention page after page.

The 'Mindset' psychology is the core of all teaching, and is what really takes all students through their future pursuits. I wonder, though, how this positive instructional mindset meshes with Dr. McIntosh's article where she assumes that cheating is inherent, and maybe it is.

She gives a good argument. There are many ways to scan for plagiarism online, though, and then that can become a classroom issue, not on day one. Very negative place to begin. The self-evaluation Section III is invaluable and self-adjusting, and inspires; causes the reader to stop and "quirk" themselves.

The 'Emergency Instructional Kit" is fabulous, both immediately useful and portable.

TECHNICAL SOUNDNESS: Excellent: The links are all current and working. The e-zine downloads quickly and without requiring user tasks.

    PRESENTATION: Excellent: The graphic design (including stunning excellence in color and print formatting), technical support, content and literacy are all well above average and consistent throughout the issue.

Customer Recommendations

"Outstanding TFS issue. I appreciated the "Will They Drop" survey and web site referral."

"There are some very good pieces in this issue. The student evaluation / test construction stuff is particularly valuable to our adjunct faculty. Many of them teach at the college level and evaluate the students at a high school level…not intentionally, but there is more to good student evaluation than those new to teaching expect."

"So nice to hear from you again!  Yes, Baker College would like to subscribe to receive Teaching for Success once again.  We will need the multi campus subscription.  The look of the publication is great!"

"Teaching for Success is especially helpful to our adjunct faculty. Most are employed at full-time day jobs and have difficulty attending our scheduled training. They can pick up TFS when they check their mail. I've heard from many of them saying how helpful TFS has been."

"I surveyed our faculty about whether we should continue subscribing. The response was so positive that we have continued our subscription. Our faculty indicate that they really appreciate the information from TFS as they can immediately put it to work in their classrooms. "

"TFS Spectrum is full of practical ideas and strategies that instructors can implement immediately."
