The Best Teacher Ever
When reviewing student surveys, I am always a bit cautious of this statement, especially from students who have just started and have had limited contact with other instructors. While I don't want to sound negative, I have to wonder what makes this person the best teacher ever. I hope that it would be the instructor has effective classroom management, engaged learning and high professional qualities that the students will mirror. However, on the flip side, this could be the instructor who lacks all of these qualities and therefore, the students consider them a peer rather than a leader. Once a student feels that they are on the same level of the instructor, it can be extremely difficult for the instructor to gain the respect of other students, which can lead to future issues within the classroom.
