*Bold/underlined standard deviations often represent one student in a specific class scoring the included element low as compared to other students.

**Light-grey shaded cells represent teaching evaluation scores of 4.70 < 4.80.

***Darker grey shaded cells represent teaching evaluation scores of 4.80 +.

Comment: *Classes where I scored measurably higher on my course evaluations were characteristically different than those where I scored lower. As an example,

for my PH 129 class (Fall 2016, Winter 2017), I had eliminated the seven-to-ten-page paper in lieu of a midterm and final. I have since transitioned this back to a

seven-to-ten-page paper, five smaller quizzes, in addition to group discussions and team-based projects, beginning with the Spring 2017 semester (14 students);

however, evaluation scores were never able to be located for this specific semester.

Comment: *Classes where I scored measurably higher on my course evaluations were characteristically different than those where I scored lower. For my PH 380

and HPP 621 classes which both cover healthcare management concepts, PH 380 included a midterm and a final whereas HPP 621 included an approximately ten-to-

fifteen-page paper. Both included group discussions and team-based projects. I will now eliminate the midterm and final in lieu of quizzes and a paper.
