A Capable Teacher
Like most of Professor Li’s students, I think of him as a capable teacher. He has many of the qualities that students appreciate in an instructor.
First, he is patient. When introducing new material, he tries to explain it fully. Even more important, he gives serious attention to all the students’ questions. In his class, students are never made to feel embarrassed if they ask a weak or irrelevant question.
Second, Professor Li expresses himself clearly. He does not speak too rapidly, and his voice is loud enough so that it can be heard by everyone in the classroom.
Third, he organizes his classes well. Students particularly welcome the schedules of assignments that he gives them at the beginning of a term. Having an idea of an entire semester’s work in advance allows them to budget their time more efficiently. Moreover, Professor Li promptly corrects and returns papers and tests. This permits students to learn from their mistakes and to produce better work in their next assignments.
Finally, this instructor keeps the attention to his classes through his sense of humor. To emphasize important points in a lecture, he often tells witty stories.
A thoughtful and dedicated man, Professor Li is generally recognized as a successful college instructor.
