Faculty Satisfaction
I was pleasantly surprised by how complete the Syllabusreview was. The SCOT made some very helpful suggestionswhich I plan to use to improve the course
This is my second time I’ve used the program. I plan to use itagain. It provides great insights into how class time is used.
SCOT allows me to capture the students’ perspective on mycourses in a non-threatening way.
SCOT is a critical platform of university lesson analysis andclassroom improvement. SCOTs view our lessons throughstudent eyes, attitudes, and needs. SCOT helps me customizemy lesson outcomes.
SCOT helps with the paradigm shift from the traditional, teacher-centered to student-centered teaching and learning
