Hello friends,
I copied the following format in the Tim Murphey's book that I mentioned in my previous comment. (Sorry,you'll find the numbers that are squashed in this format.There are more spaces between them in the original.The figures were just under the words "Interesting", "Useful", and "Difficult". You know, this is an evaluation of the class by a student.)I hope you can modify it so that it becomes suitable for your classes. (I already changed some parts.)
Cheers,
Bobby
Get a B5 notebook. At the beginning of every class write at the top of the
page the date, your English target to speak (e.g. 80%) and who your partner is.
At the end of he class, write how much English you used (e.g.90%). After every
class, as soon as possible (so you remember well what happened), write a short
evaluation of the class: (1) List briefly the activities and evaluate them, and
(2)write a short comment about what impressed you in that class. Comment on
things you liked and could learn from or things you didn't like. Your feedback is
needed so that I can teach you better. I read your Action Logs and appreciate
your suggestions and will try to use them if possible. You can also take notes in
your logs!
Evaluate the activities in three categories, Interesting, Useful, and Difficult,
marking the extent of each using the following simple scale:
0=not al all; 1=not much; 2=OK; 3=good; 4=very good; 5=great!
An Example of an entry:
_____________________________________________________________________________
Spetember 14 (written Sept 14, 21:00)
English Target 75% English Used 80% Wow!
Today's partner: Yuki
(1) DID Interesting Useful Difficult
1. listened to a story 4 43
2. read a passage 0 1 5
3. discussion 3 3 4
4. teacher lecture34 2
5. had a quiz 2 2 2
(2) Comment:
I didn't understand some of the points in the reading: What is chunking?
Sometimes Mr. Murphy spoke too fast. Please speak slower. My partner today
was Yuki and it was fun to get to know her. We got a lot of homework, but it
looks like fun. I'm looking forward to the next classes. I'll prepare more for the
quizzes.
_____________________________________________________________________________
If you have anything else that you think the teacher should know (which
influenced your learning) please write about it. Please remember two things: (a)
Always put the date above the entry and the time when you wrote it in
parentheses. (b) Always use people's names when you refer to partners. Please
submit the Action Logs online at the end of every other week.

Thanks for your comment,Toru-san. Actually, the blog couldn't display the table. So the numbers (333 or 015) are squashed. The truth is that each of the "3" "3" "3" respectively comes under "Interesting" ,"Useful" , and "Difficult". So, the sample shows that the student evaluated the activity as "3" in terms of the "Interesting" aspect, and so on. Today I had one class and used the Action Log sheet. Students seemed to like it.
Good luck,
Bobby
