Are you Learning Oriented or Grade Oriented?

1.I enjoy classes in which the instructor attempts to relate material to concerns beyond the classroom.
2.Instructors expect too much out-of-class reading and study by students.
3.I think it is unfair to test students on material not covered in class lectures and discussions, even if it is in reading assignments.
4.I find the process of learning new material fun.
5.I dislike courses which require ungraded out-of-class activities.
6.I dislike courses in which a lot of material is presented in class, or in readings. that does not appear on exams.
7.I prefer to write a term paper on interesting material than to take a test on the same general topic.
8.Easy classes that are not pertinent to my educational goals generally bore me.
9.I get annoyed when lectures or class presentations are only rehashes of easy reading assignments.
10.A teacher ‘s comments on an essay test mean more to me than my actual test score.
11.Written assignments (i.e., homework, projects, etc.) that are not graded are a waste of a student’s time.
12.I do not find studying at home to be interesting or pleasant
13.I appreciate the instructor who provides honest and detailed evaluation of my work though such evaluation is sometimes unpleasant.
14.I am more concerned about seeing which questions I missed than I am with finding out my test grade
15.I think that without regularly scheduled exams I would not learn and remember very much.
16.I think grades provide me a good goal to work toward.

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

  4. 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.

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

  9. 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

  11. 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.
