- "1-Strongly Disagree 5--No opinion 9-Strongly Agree" scale and
- Free response "What do you like? ...dislike?"
However, in my traditional fashion, while 94% of comments were positive, I'm still focusing excessively on those other 6%. Perfection must be attained! :-D
In their written responses, the students were surprisingly fair. They understand the class is more difficult and more work; thus they asked for a compromise to integrate some relaxing activities, like movie assignments, culture discussions, or even learning more about me.
The most peculiar of all was one student's response; (this student is the reason for the 3% "No Opinion for the question about a good teacher, the 3% for "Slightly Negative" regarding recommending me, and also the 3% "No Opinion" for want again). He fundamentally believes that I am teaching the wrong way. He requests that I teach like a Chinese Teacher as that is the only way to earn respect.
Chinese teachers are, well, less sensitive than an average Western teacher.That is one request I simply can and will not heed.
Later Days,

Good for you for asking. it can be nerve wracking to ask and actually take in the feedback. I have to work not to "argue with it". As in "you don't understand what I was trying to do in that situation and that feedback isn't fair!" Sure it is. Just take it for what it's worth :-)
Ah yes, teacher evaluations. I've had some fun ones over the years...
