What
changes, if any, could be made to the class that would have helped you
to learn more? What could the instructor have done to make the course an
even better learning experience? |
Giving more examples that would look more like the questions on the test. |
If powerpoints were more related to the hw. I had to search online to get the majority of answers. |
More explanation placed on relationships of materials. |

Nothing it was a great course. |
THE
INSTRUCTOR COULD HAVE PROVIDED MORE UNIT EXAM OPPORTUNITIES. THERE WERE
ONLY 2 UNIT EXAMS. ALSO, I FELT THAT ON EACH EXAM THERE WERE MORE THAN A
FEW EXAM QUESTIONS THAT DID NOT PERTAIN TO OUR LEVEL OF KNOWLEDGE OR
THE INTERMEDIATE EXAMPLES THAT WERE GIVEN PRIOR TO THE EXAM. |
The
syllabus states that the online Homework is worth 20% of our final
grade, and the lab section is worth 15%. Because more time was spent
working on the lab including the hour and 50 minutes we spent in lab and
the time competing the lab report, I think lab should be worth towards
our final grade. |
With clicker questions explain the answers a little better sometimes. |
What could you have done to make the course an even better learning experience? |
Asking more questions and going to the free tutoring and going to the learning center. |

He was very enthusiastic. |
His knowledge of the material made me want to learn more. |
I liked that the class was interactive by doing the clicker questions and the many demonstrations. |
I love the examples he did in class it gave me a better understanding. The clicker questions were very helpful. |
lots of demonstrations |
my
instructor made a confusing subject fun and tied in everyday events to
help us understand. He was always willing to help a student who is
falling behind. Very helpful and efficient. |
The enthusiasm with which he demonstrated concepts. |
THE IN-CLASS DEMONSTRATIONS & CLICKER POINT QUESTIONS WERE VERY HELPFUL. |
This
was the most fun I've ever had in a science class. Not a happy
fun, a frustrating, nut-busting fun that only sadists enjoy. The
class and the concepts were so over my head that I had to really apply
myself for the first time in a class. I will be incredibly lucky
if I get a B. Through all of the pain, however, I learned and had
quite a bit of fun. I applaud Dr. Weinstein as a man, teacher and
physics enthusiast. |
What
factors about this class contributed the most to your learning? What
aspects of this class helped you to learn to think critically? |
Dr. Weinstein, best teacher ever. |
I
am not a science person at all, so this class is actually very hard for
me. By watching and doing some of the examples that he had in
class I was able to understand some things more. |
