Faculty Fellow Muhammad Zaman Featured in NY Times Article on Student Feedback

Frederick S. Pardee Faculty Fellow Muhammad Zaman was featured in a New York Times article, “Feedback From Students Becomes a Campus Staple, but Some Go Further” for his innovative teaching methods. Prof. Zaman collects comments and criticism from his students in his biomedical engineering classes regularly. He says he uses the results to adjust his teaching technique through out the semester.

“A lot of college teaching is not very good, and everybody knows it,” he said. “Having student evaluations at the end of the course doesn’t do anything to help it get better, and the person who does the evaluation can never benefit. To me it just seems intuitive to ask for ratings all along.”
