However, not all strategies need focus exclusively on theindividual student; a powerful means to enhance a student’s academic interest and performanceis through the culture and environment of the classroom [7-8]. In fact, one could speculate thatindividual focus on particular students by an educator need be optimized, as social implicationscould have detriment to equitable goals. Therefore, this sum of interpersonal interactionsbetween students and the educator, in its optimal form, would allow for shared experience andachievement between students, spurring peer support and

Faculty noted 1) theimportance of soliciting additional student feedback beyond traditional student evaluations at theend of the semester; 2) the need for more data regarding student retention and transfer ofconcepts learning in class; and 3) the potential for soliciting additional peer feedback fromcolleagues and educational researchers. At the same time, some faculty were satisfied withcurrent approaches to teaching evaluation and did not perceive anything to be missing. Findingspoint to the opportunity to collect more in-depth, qualitative feedback regarding faculty teachingeffectiveness. In particular, expert consultation and creating more spaces to solicit writtencomments from students might help faculty obtain evaluation

Bernold surveyed engineeringstudents and classified them into “why” learners (14%), “what” learners (21%), “how” learners(49%), and “what-if” learners (19%) [3]. The research further determined that many lecture andhomework intensive courses tend to “weed out” students who prefer to think “outside” the box,and favor students who excel at solving small rote problems. Small learning communities enablepeer-to-peer communication of concepts to benefit a broader spectrum of learners
