I think that having a final exam that counts a lot in your grade
is not the best way to do things. It
is sad for a student to work all term and then at the end, when there is nothing
she/he can do about it, realize that she/he didn’t “get” the material!
Likewise, though teacher evaluations of professors at the end of terms
are nice and possibly the professor will take to heart the scores and comments
so that subsequent classes are improved, it doesn’t help the student who is
completing the evaluation, except sometimes for a feeling of revenge.
As former New York City Mayor Koch would say “How’m I doing? How’m I doing?” So I am asking you now, two weeks into the course, four weeks, six, eight, ten weeks, but in time to do something about it for you and other students in this session of the course. It is very important for all students to communicate where they are having trouble and thoughts on how I can help. It also helps if you find good things to point out and say “We should do more of that” Computer education is so new that there are no tried and true techniques. Both learner and professor are feeling their ways forward. So I invite you to communicate your ideas on the course frequently.
I am looking for feedback on course content and course delivery techniques. When are you doing things where you are learning a lot that you feel is of value to your life? When are we doing things where the time expended is not worth it in terms of the material learned.
You can communicate by:
 | Sending me email |
| Or if you don’t want to be identified, complete as much of this form as you want and submit it. If you don't sign it, there is no way for me to know who sent it! |
