Survey #2 - Results

As of today, there are 24 students in the class.  11 took the survey.  Here's what you are telling me as a class:

Organization

  • all agree (4) or strongly agree (9) that the objectives for the class are clear and that I discuss and clarify expectations well
  • all feel that the agenda is appropriate and that I keep to the agenda
  • all feel that I answer questions well or very well
  • all feel that the readings, discussions and assignments are appropriate
  • it was suggested that last years' email posts should be separated from this years and one person didn't like getting so much spam from the website.  I believe I have now addresses both issues.  (You were all notified by email of each time I updated or deleted notes from last year!)

Guest Speakers

  • almost everyone gave Pauline a very high rating.  One person pointed out that she didn't follow the agenda as well as she might have given the short 1-hour class
  • almost everyone gave Jim a very high rating.  One person found him a bit difficult to understand

Overall Satisfaction

  • one person isn't sure, 4 like the class and the remainder appear to like it a lot
  • at least one student feels that a fellow student should share class discussion time a bit more or discuss personal things with instructor outside of the class

Summary and Questions

  • collectively, about half of you are telling me you enjoy the class.  I have no idea about the other half.
  • what do you think of surveys?  Can you use them in your projects?  In other classes?
  • I will ask you to complete the same survey again in November and then after the class.
  • thank you!
