Comments

  1. I usually try to focus more on the grade of the class than actually remembering the topics we’re learning.

  2. In this class I just need help and a weekly check in to see if I understand and to see if I am doing everything right.

  3. These questions were more biased towards a student’s perspective. However, I did. agree with most of the questions.

  4. I enjoy working on review or easier stuff at home for example I would rather you give an example of all 10 types of problems and accept no questions until after you have finished expelling all 10 types on a 50 sheet problem assignment and allow us to sort of work by are selves after that and ask you questions so that when we go home we acutely understand each subject instead of having to stop for all the question and only getting through 7

  6. I don’t think it is to good for the students to get a grade on what they think but I guess it is cool to show the students what they can work towards.
