Student Evaluations from English
101 classes:
(Actual names and dates are available upon request.) “Professor Sharkey changed my mind on how to approach writing. He made everything seem so simple. I remember in the beginning of the class, he stressed keeping our sentences short and to the point. I had never had a teacher tell me something so simple, yet so effective. . . . Professor Sharkey has shown me that anyone can be a good writer.” “Mr. Sharkey’s English 101 class . . . seems different from others. . . . Writing seems no longer mission impossible.” “Professor Sharkey broke things down to the basics, making the subject matter [of writing] a lot less intimidating. . . . I trusted the teacher [because of] his calm and empathetic demeanor. I was afraid of this subject initially so thanks [to Professor Sharkey] for making it fun and interesting.” “My previous experience in writing wasn’t very successful. But with professor [Sharkey] we took little steps in improving writing and understanding what makes writing good. I feel more confident to take a part in debates verbally or on paper. . . . I can consider myself a scholar after taking this course.” “I went from someone who hated writing to someone who has so much appreciation for writing and never wants to put a book down.” “Without Prof. Sharkey’s attention to detail and passion, . . . I would still be of the mindset that composition . . . [is] not worth my time. . . . I’ve learned to not doubt my writing abilities, and have become a more confident writer.” Professor Sharkey’s English 101 class “changed the way I write, read, research . . . [and] converse daily.” “The teacher of this class was an excellent teacher because he explained each topic very well.” “Everything that the professor taught us was extremely helpful. . . . [H]is course materials definitely helped me become a stronger writer.” “I will truly miss the warmth of this class. The professor was always supportive and full of resources.” “I really enjoyed my professor’s way of teaching.” Teacher Observations: (Actual names and dates are available upon request.) “Tim [Sharkey]’s strength is teaching in the classroom. . . . [H]e excels at [it].” He has “excellent management skills, [and] . . . a great command of the subject matter.” “Prof. Sharkey certainly knows his stuff.” Professor Sharkey has a “very clear spoken voice, [his] main points [are] repeated, [his] topics [are] contextualized for critical thinking, . . . [and he has an] excellent use of handouts, written agenda and board work.” “Professor [Sharkey is] . . . clear, professional, and creates a calm and engaging atmosphere.” “Tim [Sharkey] consistently demonstrates a demeanor and focus most suited to quality instruction in college writing courses.” More Student Evaluations: (Actual names and dates are available upon request.) “Professor [Sharkey] . . . knows how to communicate extremely well. The best teacher/professor I ever took.” “The teacher's method of teaching is beyond stellar.” Professor Sharkey “explains things that are complicated and makes them very simple to understand.” “He always explained everything very clearly.” “He’s absolutely great as an instructor [and] no doubt one of the best. . . . He’s very efficient and on the mark with how an instructor should be. . . . Just a wonderful human being to learn from.” “I really like Timothy Sharkey’s teaching style. . . . [T]he way he teaches should be a standard in which all instructors . . . should be judged.” “I’m glad there are people who can lecture as well as Tim [Sharkey] does.” “Mr. Sharkey is totally awesome! He explains things so well. I understand everything he is talking about.” “Being in this class with Tim Sharkey was an amazing experience. He has taught me so many things about English.” “Mr. Tim Sharkey is one of the . . . greatest . . . teachers . . . that I have ever been around. I love being in his classroom.” |
