Please identify strengths of the instructor's teaching ability.
1. use real life situations to explain curriculum
2. encouraged participation
3. genuinely cares for student
4. Very helpful, would take time after class to help if one needed more help.
5. The instructor did an excellent job of encouraging class participation. He also did an outsanding job of expounding upon the ideas that were expressed in the reading materials.
6. Professor Bolender is an excellent instructor. I felt that he encouraged everyone in the class to recognize our potential and developed skills that will help us in our daily lives. His instructions are very clear. He seems to be very understanding towards each individual's circumstances and situation. Having him as my instructor for my very class in this program makes me hope the all the other instructors for the remainder of this program will be just like him.
7. The Instructor was great. He taught the class without any issues.
8. Professor Bolender communicates well and possesses the ability to motivate those in his charge.
