VIDEO CRITIQUE GUIDE

In this exercise, your task is to provide constructive feedback for the instructor
in the video.

Attend to and describe the instructor’s specific actions as well as his or her
overall instructional strategies. Focus also on student reactions and
engagement; student reactions may be indications of the lesson’s
effectiveness, and practicing attending to student reactions may help you better
recognize cues from your own students.

Please do not respond to each question independently, but rather provide an

overall critique that incorporates your responses in a single, coherent body of
feedback.
