What are your academic strengths?
*
What are your academic weaknesses.
*
I'm considering asking students to identify the most confusing or difficult topics covered in the previous lecture at the beginning of each class and doing a quick review of that material. Would this be helpful?
*
Yes
No
Which do you prefer?
*
Website (as for this course)
Moodle
Did you use practice quizzes & problems with pre-loaded answer keys?
*
Yes
No
Complete the sentence, "I used the textbook _________."
*
Frequently (at least once a week)
Infrequently (once amonth-ish)
Very infrequently (a few times per semester)
Never!
If you answered never to infrequently, why not?
*
I'm considering changing my labs so that most would fewer trials and a much shorter report, but would include a problem set related to class content. Do you think this change would benefit students?
*
Yes
No
Explain your answer to the previous question about labs
*
What was the best thing about taking this course?
*
What was the hardest or worst thing about this course?
*
I'm considering a 'competency based' model for this course that would give students the option of either: (1) getting a maximum of 85 points (solid B) for a basic version of the course with slightly slower pacing; or (2) using videotaped supplemental lectures to complete more advanced or more difficult material for a maximum grade of 100, an A+. Students could change their 'track' if and when the wished.
*
I might be interested and would like to hear more about this.
No way!
If you could change any three (3) things about this course what would they be?
*
Do you have any other comments or feedback for me?
*
Submit (Then email me and / or note the time of your submission.)
