Student Review

2016-2017

  • Proper notes, tutorial solutions and more tutorial sessions
  • More lecture hours
  • More timely feedback
  • No need for immediate improvement
 
2017-2018

  • Such an important course to me should be offline
  • It is fine just the way it is
  • Change the online videos
  • More assignment questions for some topics
  • More offline classes
  • More offline classes
  • Increase tutorial times
  • Give physical handouts
  • Great teacher, couldn't ask for better
  • More than a 1 line feedback
  • Different structure for exams
 
 
My Comments:
I do not currently give tutorial solutions and I will not as it stunts their development in this course and their ability to prepare in future courses in the programme. I work through the solutions in class, and assist when necessary.
 
Timely feedback was a challenge the first year, but I now mix the methods of feedback. Sometimes I group the problems I encounter and give feedback to the class, and other times I give individual comments on formative assignments.
 
I am currently working with the curriculum committee for an extra credit to be added to the course to provide additional tutorials and aid the students that did not have the background in mechanics. Mechanics is a foundation course in the programme.
 
Some online videos could be improved with better audio. I now have access to a recording mic, and I am excited to re-record some videos.
