Lacking in constructive feedback, proper analysis of the work

May consistof “that’s good, but I want to see great.” “Not your best work.” “It’s missing something.” “I feel like you could have pushed it further.” which are not examples of helpful or constructive feedback.

Positive feedback may include, “Yeah, that’s good.” which also does not constitute analysis or feedback

May be irrelevant to the work presented, tangents and anecdotes are frequent

Classes canceled

Tuesday, March 31st; students required to come on Thursday afternoon

Jobs booked elsewhere caused classes to be canceled, students forced to change work schedules to try and attend make-up class times

Conduct with regard to students who are shooting in a studio

Re: incident during fashion photoshoot

Proposal: Ask permission from a student to give help

Slate, Red, email usage

Slate is not optional for faculty: marks, assignment outlines, course outline, presentations etc missing from Slate.

Red is not organized and used effectively, slowing down critiques

Uses personal email address even though there is a requirement to use the email address provided by Sheridan College for all communications.

Emails are not responded to within a reasonable amount of time

One-on-one meetings

Often involve the entire class, devaluing the meeting for the student, sometimes embarrassing the student

Often an opportunity for anecdotes, tangents, self-reflection on Miguel’s part, irrelevant to the student, their work, and performance in the class

Giving clarification and answering questions

Questions are not heard or responded to in a thoughtful way

Clarification on assignments, critiques etc is difficult to attain.

Mutual respect of students

Occasional condescending attitude and tone; back-handed compliments such as: “I didn’t think you had it in you."

“Playful” remarks have been offensive to some students ie. jokes about a person’s weight or general appearance

Misunderstandings about topics covered, ambiguity with regard to assignments, etc are often blamed on the student rather than offering clarification

Rubric/requirements for last assignment was not handed out until after the photoshoot was completed.

Responsibility of equipment

Miguel refused to have any equipment used for an in-classdemo signed out under his name - he sent other students to get the equipment and sign it out under their name, putting the student in danger of having to replace equipment that might go missing.
