Resumen
Open-ended qualitative questions aid in participatory evaluation and are alternatives to the typical student evaluation of teaching forms. One method of qualitative evaluation consists of three prompts that ask students to comment on the aspects of the course that they feel the instructor should Stop, Start, and Continue. In order to assess the viability of this method formally, a study was performed in which students were recruited to view one of two videos that intentionally featured instructors with different teaching styles on two different occasions. Textual analysis showed that students used different words to assess the two videos and used similar terms between the two sessions. These analyses show that the open-ended questions of the SSC can act as practical alternatives to the typical close-ended questions in the student evaluation of teaching.
