Selected feedback from faculty observations of teaching
“Prof. Almeida acknowledged contributions from a range of students and encouraged everyone to offer comments and observations, and ask questions.” Prof. Anne Leonard, Spring 2022
“The presentation of the materials for the activity was excellent. Using Google Docs for collaborative work in the initial phase of the activity made sense and the form that guided students through the activity was also well designed.” Prof. Monica Berger, Fall 2021
“Prof. Almeida is an unusually clear speaker and has a very dynamic and warm way with her students. I enjoyed how she used humor to connect with the class as well as discussing how the prior class field trip might have made many of the students feel ‘weird,’ which was a deliberate strategy on the part of the site visit facilitator.” Prof. Monica Berger, Fall 2018
“Prof. Almeida designed an engaging in-class assignment—students evaluated each other’s research questions, drawing upon past lessons about developing good questions.” Prof. Anne Leonard, Fall 2017
“Prof. Almeida balanced teaching the more factual content with being able to get into deeper questions related to the theme of the course. These questions are critical to student success on their assignments.” Prof. Monica Berger, Fall 2016
“I believe that Prof. Almeida is a dedicated instructor with a good mastery of the topics discussed in class and the ability to convey that knowledge.” Prof. Keith Muchowski, Spring 2016
