What aspects of the course and the way it was taught helped you to learn?
| Comments |
|---|
| I liked the group aspect of this class and how homework was done during class. Lectures were very little and it was heavy project based making the learning experience interesting. |
| Nothing |
| work with classmates and help each others. |
| Professor Alemi wanted his students to teach and help eachother rather than having him give three hours lecture and leaving us alone to do the assingments. The involvement of all classmates to help eachtother and making connections with people that had similar problems helped me learn this course better than any other. |
| doing assignments on our own and having our class fellows help us |
| The teach ones really helped me learn and walk through the processes. |
| If the professor taught more instead of students teaching themselves |
| Teach ones for each assignment and collaboration was very helpful. |
What modifications do you suggest for the next time the course is taught?
| Comments |
|---|
| I want tutorials specifically from the professor after assignments were turned in to clear questions. |
| The course has to be taught with the instructor. This isn't the type of course that we just learn on our own. |
| I wish that professor explains more about codes and why need to use them. |
| Professor Alemi should have more detailed insturctions on what students should be doing specially for the exams. He should also give us correct answers after we have all finished the assignments, so that we know for sure its correct or wrong. |
| perfect class and great instructor |
| More explanation on the breakdown of codes would be helpful. |
| Less teach ones and more in class lectures with in class coding with the professor doing the code and explaining it as he does it. Doing teach ones for some of the concepts is a good idea, but for some of the more difficult ones, it can be very hard to understand and learn it while having to worry about doing a teach one. In class coding with the professor doing it would help ease that worry and focus more on learning and understanding the code itself and can ask questions as the code is typed out. |
| More help from the professor |
| I think having an answer key for assignments and exams would be a lot more helpful. I feel like I wasted a lot of time trying to fix my answers after I was told the answers were correct. |
| I wish there was an answer key for each assignment provided by the Professor so students don't get confused on what the correct "answer" is. Also, more detailed instructions on the midterm and final exams would have been helpful. |
