Student Opinion Survey

Week 5

1. More demonstrations in JMP to help me with the project.

2. More examples

3. Too many things to list.

4. N/A.

5. More help on help session please!

6. n/a

7. It’s ok.

8. Lecture, class blog, textbook

9. With the online lecture streaming, it’s fuzzy sometimes. Maybe the volume could be adjusted to not sound too fuzzy online.

10. I don't think anything needed to be changed.

11. I was out of town for Thursday's class. I did enjoy Tuesday’s!

12. Some of the material wasn't very clear

13. I think that real life application problems are intriguing and they motivate people to learn.

14. The class was fine this week

15. n/a

16. Everything went well this week

17. Everything is still going good

18. I really wish the project was explained more in detail, but I also like that you trust our abilities to figure it out on our own for the most part.

19. A better explanation of the points you are trying to convey and the concepts presented would really help my ability to learn.

20. It would be nice if we did example problems in class instead of just explanations. For instance, if we did a problem in class that might show up on the exam and it would also help if Phil put the answers to the questions he puts on the blog so we can make sure we are doing them correctly.

21. Nothing, you guys are doing great!

22. Nothing

23. The class blog is awesome

24. n/a

25. More masks

26. Demonstrations on how to use JMP more

27. The class was excellent this past week. The upcoming holiday helped provide a more relaxed environment

28. None

29. The class blog is very helpful as well as being able to meet early in Einstein's and our review at 5:30 the day of the exam.

30. Nothing, I feel that all materials necessary to succeed are provided in a convenient and fluent manner.

31. None.

32. An option on all surveys to have a "neutral" or "not helpful" answer. Sometimes I feel indifferent to the options that are supposed to make the class more fun. Sometimes they detract from the lectures or in class time.

33. The only suggestion that I have is that I noticed on Tuesday we were covering some of the stuff that had been on the exam earlier in class that day and that didn’t seem to make sense to me.

34. If I had studied harder

35. More examples in class

36. Everything went good.

37. If the class periods were shortened, I would actually learn more. Not many people can concentrate for that length of time.

38. Not having an exam, homework, and a project due on the same day would have helped me learn easier. I wish the project could have been due on Thursday.

39. There was nothing that would have helped me learn more this week. The live help sessions before Tuesday’s classes, CourseCompass, and posted lecture slides are the most helpful portions of the course. Keep those up!

40. its hard no matter what i try

41. More problem worked in class.

42. More real life application problems would be very beneficial.

43. Going to the extra help sessions helps out the most in understanding the material.

44. The live help sessions help and the blog is very useful too.

45. Nothing, I felt I learned what I needed to learn this week.

46. n/a

47. It would be nice if we didn't have a test, homework, AND a project all due on the same day. If we could move project due dates to Thursdays rather than Tuesdays it might be an easier load to handle. A couple people suggested this to Phil during the last project but I guess he never mentioned it to you.

48. More in class exercises.

49. Maybe to not focus so much on the survey results and go over the exam we just took instead. so we know then what we might have done wrong then.

50. Lecture needs to be over the material on exams. We don't do problems in class either.

51. Maybe break down all the work a little more.

52. Less concentration on JMP and more on the actual things we need to know for the exams. Also there's always a lot of talking during the exams and hard to focus.

53. Examples.

54. n/a

55. I believe that the best way for us to learn is to have more than just one review session before the exam. Instead maybe another on Monday afternoon for those who are struggling.

56. If we had an in-class lightsaber duel pointing out the high points of the chapters with different force attacks such as lightning or force choke.

57. the lecture really helped me along with class discussion

58. Phil is a great TA and teacher and really helps me understand the material better.

59. N. a.
