A recent report from the Association of College and University Educators and the Lumina Foundation found students evaluated their courses based on four primary factors. Researchers identified four major themes in students’ feedback about their professor: instructional clarity, student support, perceived attributes of the instructor and active learning. Students may not have named active learning as a pedagogical technique, said Paloma Benavides, associate researcher at ACUE, in a Nov. 14 webinar. But students would cite engaging class experiences, real-world application of content and interactive learning processes.
