If you attend my lectures what value do you get from doing so and how could they be made even more valuable to you? Otherwise, say that you do not attend them since you learn all you need to know using the other learning aids made available to you.

1. The lectures to me were not very helpful: CourseCompass, class blog , book and Phil’s review sessions were

2. I learn everything that I need to learn from the learning aids made available by you.

3. I no longer attend the lectures because there are not relevant to the material or the tests or the homework

4. None

5. I do not attend the lectures because I find CourseCompass and the class blog to be enough help.

6. The value I get from them is reinforcement of what's going to be on the exam. That way, when I go to read the book I recognize key words that were said in class. However, a lot of the times I opt to just read the blog/book rather than attending class.

7. The lectures I do attend are pretty interesting, but the technology provided in the class is what allows me to not attend the classes. This technology is very valuable in itself. It makes it very convenient for me. If it wasn't for the tests on Tuesday, I probably wouldn't make it to most of the lectures.

8. They would be made more valuable because everything would already be imprinted in my brain while I'm studying for the tests, it would make studying easier.

9. I never attended lectures. I did my homework each week and attended review session. This was the time efficient way to learn and worked perfectly. Also, the book is useless and was a total waste of my money.

10. I usually did not attend them.

11. I like it when you show how something relates to the real world and not just the academic world.

12. The lectures are good at times and I actually think you are real funny but sometimes I think you go on and on about things that do not pertain to the class and that’s why most people don’t attend the lectures. And all the information is in the class blog and book.

13. I stopped attending the lectures because I felt that what we learned in class was different from that in CourseCompass and the weekly exams. I think you should do more examples to lead by example.

14. I attended the lectures for a few weeks but found them to be very unhelpful. You need to break the information down and be clearer during your presentation. For example, my first Math 125 teacher was not good for me. He taught straight from the book, used a lot of terminology that was unnecessary, was very verbal in his teachings, and had complex processes. My second teacher was great, she broke the processes down into simple steps, every time, even if we had learned the steps in a previous chapter, she explained it again because sometimes we forget. She explained the concepts to use in layman terms and tried to make it easy. Your class is unnecessarily difficult. Don't make things harder than they need to be.

15. The lectures sometimes help. Sometimes they are not helpful as you sometime talk too much about something not related this course.

16. I don't get much value from your lectures

17. I have been to a couple. do not help any.

18. Listening to you discuss the chapter slides helps me tremendously.

19. I do not usually attend the lectures. I learn everything I need to know from CourseCompass, the book, and blog, and the study sessions.

20. I do not attend lectures.

21. I do not attend them

22. I think you need to move a little faster in your lectures. Sometimes we did not cover the things in class that we needed to for the homework on CourseCompass.

23. Your lectures explain the concepts and sometimes you even give real world applications. To make them more valuable I would have them flow smoother and that may mean removing some of the technology used, like the whiteboard.

24. Be confident in your knowledge and don't worry so much about what we think of how you are doing. I do attend lecture, and I benefit more from your presenting the material and working problems in a traditional lecture style.

25. I attend most of the lectures and going over the notes in class is incredibly helpful.

26. Just sitting to listen and do physical interaction cannot be compared with any other way of learning. I love using other methods only as complementary.

27. Just a general knowledge of where Stats can be applied to various situations. I seem to get a practical knowledge of Statistics when I attend class as opposed to a bare-bones education by just attending the Study Sessions and reading the blog.

28. I do not attend

29. I learned more by the resources than the lectures. I went but stopped because I was making good grades on the exams without the lectures.

30. They are pretty valuable

31. I watch the lecture recordings on Thursdays and stay until the break on Tuesdays.

32. I did not attend enough classes to respond but I did get enough knowledge out of the review sessions, CourseCompass and the book.

33. The lectures helped getting an idea of how to understand what was going on with all the math. It also allowed me to understand how to interpret the wording used in homework problems.

34. Did not attend often.

35. Difficult concepts that are not understood from the book or blog are explained in an understandable way at the lecture.

36. I attended several lectures and learned more when examples were being used and slowly talking through the problem, but I also learned a lot from other teaching aids.

37. I learned the material through the book, CourseCompass, the blog, and the review sessions.

38. The value I get out of the lectures is that I get to hear the concepts explained in a different way from the book and sometimes it takes that extra explanation for the concept to "click" in my brain. I feel rather lost when I rely only on the technology.

39. I learn a lot from the blogs.

40. There may be moments when the instructor or TA offers simple clues to look out for when doing problems. This can be very important when trying to interpret problems.

41. You doing problems on the board

42. I have attended some where the material looked daunting, yet the other mediums were plenty for this elementary level statistics class.

43. The lectures are useful in seeing examples of material that will be later repeated on exams, otherwise students will have to assume the book and CourseCompass are to be expected for exams.

44. I did not learn much from the lectures.

45. Since I have taken the class before I have had similar lectures and it’s a lot easier for me to do things hands on instead of just getting multiple definitions that take a while to sink in and understand before moving onto the next topic.

46. n/a

47. Use online recordings

48. I attended most lectures and it has been hard keeping focus for two hours. I would suggest doing more examples and keep the slides available to be printed off for class like you did for this summer session.

49. Did not attend
