6. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

Only when we learned conversions which I can apply to my major

The notes was printed out already giving more time todo practice problems

The Kumu is very good at teaching math! I enjoy the way she makes it easy to understand concepts. Defs the best math teacher

Her teaching style makes mathematics easier to understand:)

The teacher making sure I came to class.

That it required me to think more outside of the box, and that the notes give to us with examples helped. Also the online homework.

I learned a lot about logic, and this course challenged me a lot.

loni got us to think about math in a different way, like world math that we would actually use on a daily basis in the work place rather than algebra thats just confusing.

The connection to real life problems and probabilities.

It was helpful going into groups to work on assignments and also that Loni would answer any questions I had one on one.I also thought that the project we did with our groups at the ending of the semester was helpful in understanding probability and counting more. Doing that project will probably help me to do good on the final with the probability part.

The challenge to think critically, analyze logically, and proving answers. A different approach to math.

This course was very challenging it made me have to work Harder to figure out the problems.

providing more examples, help us understand the topic

i really liked the fact that if i ever needed help it was always available to me at anytime.

Loni was very thorough in everything that she taught. It was easy to ask questions and receive feedback.

During this course I learned a lot mostly on understanding probability and thinking logically and thinking outside the box.

It made me use my brain more. Critical thinking . Mathy math is taught in elementary and comes easy but Logical thinking is more of adult situations and Loni gives real life examples that we can relate and easily figure it out

I found that the notes and handouts most valuable and helpful

how Kumu Lani was always on us, and funny during class

extra credit points to boost up grades

Loni is a great teacher, she makes time to help her students and pushes them to succeed.

I find group work very helpful as well as the online homework. Also, she works on hard problems on the board and explains it easier in a way we can understand it better.

22. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

Even though i didn't get a lot of the stuff, she's good at what she does and is helpful

She is always there wether if be in person or in email

She took the time to make sure that each student understand the material that was being taught

her cheerful disposition and costume on Halloween makes class happy

The way she had us work in groups and hands on work

She is very organized and seem to know whats shes talking about. she is intelligent and kind.

I found that she answered any questions I had and helped me understand concepts better that were confusing.She also made sure to not move on to something new until we all understood it. Also that she would do review everything that would be on the test the class before, which would help refresh my memory.

Very enthusiastic about class. Teaches in an easy to comprehend way. Works with individuals and groups in need.

She knows her stuff, if u need help with anything She is always there to help you.

going over to the quizzes or tests we took.

great at explaing lesson

Very nice and open to any questions that anyone may have had.

Throughout the course Mrs. Loni Deplane was a good teacher. She explain the problems really well especially when it gets complicated or when students misunderstood a question. Anyway she help her student a lot and give advice on improving on a certain math problem.

She takes the time to work individually if needed. She gives everyone a chance to participate in class . If there's questions on tests homework, she always goes over it in class

She knows what she is talking about. She helps us with problems we don't understand.

sheÊ»s a character, and always stoked to be teaching us, even if the rest of the class is not lol

She is very friendly, respectful, and willingly offered help when needed.

Loni makes math fun and interesting. Math is not my best subject but i enjoy coming to class and Loni is eager to help us with any questions or concerns we may have.

She's very friendly and comfortable teacher. It makes it easier to ask questions because she is not a strict teacher. She is also well organized and keep everything in order.

23. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

She got it down

best math teacher ever!

No suggestions, she is an awesome teacher and I wish I could have her in all my classes due to her enthusiastic personally and unique way of teaching.

very well taught, thankyou, keep it up!

I think everything's good the way it is.

No problems.

Don't have any she's s good teacher.

a little more time on certain subjects

Nothing, keep doing what you're doing.

More practice work during class and going over the answer and explaining why it is that way or that the answer.

Her teaching style is very clear and understandable. I don't feel there should be any improvements it's AWESOME ALREADY

Check binders more often. Make extra credit list a little bit longer.

nothing really, actually, less homework

I think Loni should give more quizzes at the end of each topic to see if students understand the topics.

Nothing, Loni has everything well organized and easy to understand.

Maybe more practice before the test

31. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

I liked the online homework

Everything was lovely

her teaching style and friendly explanation feels comfortable

I really enjoyed the logic part of this class

I liked the format of the homework we were assigned online and everything else I said above.

Online homework. easy to comprehend. Very prepared for tests.

I did not like any of it. This math semester was very hard.

group projects

The course made you think much more than I'd ever thought a math class would.

I like the probability problems and identifying whether its inductive or deductive.

Thinking up probability because I've used that in my life but never really new it had other ways of figuring it out

When we did homework in the book and went over it in class.

just the class, the funny teacher, and table 3

I liked that we do class reviews before exams and she answers questions on anything that we may be having trouble on.

- Group works

32. Comment on the physical environment of the classroom (space, noise, lighting, seating, etc.)

Sometimes it smelled weird in that class

Seating was junk but other than that it was great

The classroom environment was favorable I liked the seating arrangement and vocal volume of the Kumu

It was great but the class was kinda cold at times.

Great class, and it's a great learning environment for me and everyone

It's good. Although sometimes it could be too cold.

Very comfortable.

Everything was good

comfortable.

great enviorment

Nothing.

Overall the environment was comfortable.

Perfect very roomy

Everything was good

very open, funny, family kind of class

Everything is great, easy to learn in, nicely kept.

-Everyone participates. Students focus in class and quiet when the teacher is talking.

33. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

I think lab should be available for this course

The course is not really bad. The course is great how it is. A little more time would be nice, so more material can be learned but other than that it was great

Sometimes more book work or more questions on the study guides

No suggestions, it's a great class!

For me, I think this course doesn't need any improvement because it's good as is. As long as the student does their part by coming to class, getting assignments if they miss class, do their assignments, and ask questions when needed then it should be good.

There really are no problems. I loved it.

There's really nothing I don't think, this course was Very hard the loni was great but I won't recommend reasoning for math.

more group projeects and in class study groups

It is a good course the way it is.

The course need more example on explaining each subject like the proofing as well as the connectives. I feel that the students need time to learned and understand them. Because I had trouble understanding it on the beggining and later on understood it when I spend more time understanding it. Anyway I woould suggest more thime on explaining the subject in class.

It's perfect I learned ALOT

This course could improve by having a schedule on the syllabus so we know what to read ahead of class. Checking binders more often, or on Quizzes and test.

less homework. we have homework for other classes. And we have families to take care of

I really can't think of any. Lonis style of teaching is very good.

I think it would be better to work on practice test first. Also, maybe more classwork.

34. Other comments:

Great on Loni.

Probably one of the best classes I've ever been in. I wish other teachers were this engaging, able to teach so that students could easily comprehend and willing to make themselves available to in class individual help.

I learned a lot on this subject. It's a different kind of math that makes you think logically. Thank you for this wonderful semester!!!!

overall i enjoyed the class and i found it to be challenge

I really enjoyed this COURSE AND LONI Delaplane just makes IT SO MUCH MORE INTERESTING WITH HER AWESOME PERSONALITY !!!!! :)))

Nothing else

none

Loni is one of the best etchers that I've had, really great person and is very knowledgable and loves her job.

6. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

Loni explains the basics and builds a foundation to solve more complex problems

i find more information on how to solve math problems

What I find most valuable and helpful about this course is that Loni is a caring and understanding teacher when you need help. If you don't understand a question she does her best to help you understand and she encourages everyone do their best.

I found that the material in this course is going to help me very much in my future math classes.

What I found most valuable and helpful about this course is the enthusiasm that Loni portrayed as she teaches her student. She is able to communicate with all her students and she understands that all of her students learn differently. She inspires us to continue to work hard in all the work that she gives us. She is one of the most well rounded, caring, genuine and knowledgeable teacher I've ever had in the math field.

I learned many new techniques to solve mathematical problems.

The homework and the help from my teacher

Loni's generous help outside of class, study groups, and the tutors in/ outside of class.

She explains things really well.

The way Loni explains the materials made it easy for me to learn the lessons.

The handouts, the tutors, and extra credit.

I never properly learned a lot of the material in this course. I feel like I'll actually retain at least most of it this time. Don't have 2313 more characters worth of crap to say though.

the most valuable things i learn was to use the calcuator in my head and dont rely on my graphing calcuator.

The help Loni gave to us was very helpful.

Not only did I learn new math material, but also how and why certain rules apply.

Meeting 4 days a week helped me with not forgetting the material taught in class the day before. And helped me stay on track.

During the duration that I have been in Math 26, I have come to realize that there were many gaps in my learning system. I struggled on how I'd regain my knowledge of Math after taking a semester off of any sort of Math course. Upon entering the course, her style of teaching was unique. She connected with everyone, even myself. And for me to be interested in a teaching method is quite hard to come by, but she had figured it out. I just enjoyed the way she spoke to her students, showing respect towards everyone and not giving off the feeling that she thinks she's better than you.

Loni has a way of relating things to me the way no other teacher can! I love the real life problems and the awesome attitude towards math.

i found that the fast pace of this course cept me interested and coming to class.

Tutors in class to help with questions, Loni taking the students progress into consideration w/ the speed we went through material

I math 26 we covered a lot of material in just one semester. I still was able to have a good concept and understanding of everything we learned .

-Gaining more confidence in algebra -learned how to convert decimals and fractions -was very useful to sit in the front row

She really went in depth and put things in away that we could understand them.

Having assistance during classes

The material we learned...

It helped me understand basic concepts better than I did before. Things became clearer.

-STUDY GROUPS _Tutors _ compassionate teacher towards her students

Having had problems in math for a long time, having a class that I attend every day really helps my learning of the material.

Loniâ??s teaching style.

22. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

She relates math to real situations.

she is always willing to give you a helping hand

She explains clearly and is always there to answer your questions!

Loni was able to work with us and teach us in many different ways for the class to understand

Loni was the best math teacher ive had because she clearly explained the problems and made math very fun to learn! I am happily taking her math 100 class next semester. She also gave us many opportunities to get bonus points which made me more enthusiastic about class.

She genuinely seemed to care about helping you learn the course material.

Her great teaching skills

She's very enthusiastic, friendly, and eager to help you learn. She finds the time to create a study session once a week in the library, during non-instructional times. She makes her class/ classes work together creating friendships.

Those practice worksheets that she gives.

She was very helpful always answering everyones questions and always had the best attitude.

Loni is very kind and helpful when I was struggling with learning a lesson.

She was really a great teacher. Probably one of the best I had. You could tell she loves math! Loni was very knowledgeable.

Friendly, helpful, gives clear explanations, that sort of thing. I think that generally covers most of it, except the bad stuff, which goes in the box below this one.

makes math seem fun

She is always there if you need help in class and in her office.

She spoke clearly, and concepts were always understood. If anyone was unsure about any sort of material, she made sure to go over it with the entire class and not just an individual student.

She was easy to talk to, she presented the material in a way that was easy to understand and she always made sure that the entire class understood what was being covered in class.

The most helpful thing that I found out was she was easy to talk to, and she had a good teaching method that even spoke to me. It inspired me to change my ways of interpreting how teachers communicate so that I can figure out what is more important in what they say or write.

She's really nice. Her approach to teaching has made me feel like i'm not stupid and that I can understand and grasp the concepts of math. She helps outside of class whenever needed.

I feel that lane really cars about her students and wants them to succeed.

Her willingness to help her students in any way possible

Spare her free time to us to study

Ms Loni is a great teacher. She is very enthusiastic about math. I feel like she really cares about her students and succeeding in her class. I learned a lot in her class . Ms Loni is very good and explaining things clearly. She is definitely my favorite teacher this semester!

-making time for students for one-on-ones and study groups -useful handouts on how to learn new concepts -making us keep a binder to organize our notes -using hawkes instead of paper home work

The worksheets and study guides per chapter made it easy to follow and refer to when we needed help.

great notes

I found that having a teacher like Ms. Delaplane is the trick. I hated math all my life, and i'm not saying that i LOVE math now, but what i am saying is that i understand it a whole lot more. And it is all because of the way she taught it. Is broke each problem down for us and took us step by step. She is such an awesome teacher!!! and i hope i get into her next class=)

Loni makes a personal connection with each student which really helps us all learn in a more efficient way. She got us pumped up about math and made time out of her personal time to help us as much as she could. She shows that she cares about us presently and our future.

I found helpful that she takes the time to make time for students after and before class. She also changed her lesson deadlines according to students progress and input.

In the way Loni teaches she makes it easy to understand and makes the material stay in your brain as it is constantly reviewed. Loni breaks down the work in a way that's easy to understand and can be applicable in almost any situation.

Her patience when teaching and when I would struggle understanding. Also, she would NOT let me give up when I was overwhelmed. She pushed me in positive ways and helped me catch up when i fell behind. She is a GREAT teacher and has a really awesome way of helping us understand math in a way that is interesting and easier to grasp and understand. She breaks things down in really awesome ways!!

made herself available outside of regular class hours, created a study group so we could better understand the material being taught. She showed compassion to the class when we struggled turning assignments in on time,and was very fair with her grading scale.

23. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

No improvements are needed at all.

i like her style. i understand the lesson well. maybe no need to improve just continue on what she is doing right now

I think she doesnt need any improving because she's a great teacher!

None

Hawkes Online courses could be more compatible with the in class work. They would do a few things more complicated than Loni taught us.

I think that the course was overall very helpful. I believe that having Loni as a teacher was such a privilege because she shows that she really does care and love what she does. I think that Loni as a teacher and all her teaching styles and methods work very well because most of my people in class was able to understand. Math 26 is a great course to take and I don't think there has to be any changes to be made.

I suggest that students take advantage of asking questions and study groups.

I believe that she is doing an awesome job, no improvements needed. Hands-down best math teacher I've had.

N/A

I have none

I think the class is put together well and very grateful to have Math 26. I wouldn't change anything.

Hmmm...usually if I do poorly it's my fault so I can't think of any improvements, but now that I'm doing well, I still can't really think of any. I'll take that to mean it's entirely my fault I'm doing well. One unfortunate problem is that I am somewhat less inclined to take classes with different instructors, I'm certain this is a terribly serious issue. Also poor Daniel showed his grade for the most recent test, so harsh.

no comment

maybe just slow it down a little.

None.

None

If I were to change something about this course, I would've liked to see more group work. Personally I feel it's a better way that just having a teacher whether or not it's right. You have multiple ways of hearing one answer from your peers, and you are able to figure out which is better for you.

0!!!!! DONT EVER EVER EVER EVER EVER CHANGE!!!! We love you!

not having all homework online. i dont have internet & couldnt always finish homework bc libraries were closed after work, etc...

I can't think of any improvements needed.

-Noting having kids buy the book, only hawkes cd -Setup hawkes asap and get a binder the next day of class -work together in groups -make kids that don't have a B or better sit in the front row -tell people their going to work hard, really hard -write on all your notes what chapter it was when doing homework notes -work in groups 2-3 people in class more -less thinky question handouts -more step 1,2,3,4 on handouts and fill-in to understand your logic of teaching

None, I think the class is perfect

do quizzes after homework is scheduled

I dod not care for hawks because of the format they would ask us to put our problems/solutions in. It got confusing at times when we were taught differently in class than what hawkes wanted.

Having a certain room in the library building just for math students so they are able to freely help each other without getting reprimanded for being too loud...we all try helping each other so talking does happen.

-math students need there own math room for study groups -option to buy only the disc -make books available in class

I strongly dislike Hawkes. I hope we can find a similar alternative.

31. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

How simple the rules of math became

i like it when she gives plenty problems to solve and practice

I liked doing group work the best!

Not sure

I really liked how we could discuss the problems with a group, and how Loni made the class fun for us. I also liked being able to check my homework and grade online at any time.

I really liked learning the quadratic formula because when I was in High School my teachers didn't quite explain the lecture in a way that i was able to understand. I would spend countless hours trying to figure out how they got certain answers. But after Loni explaining it to us in class. It was very clear for me to understand.

I liked the open and group work in class, it really helped me to understand the work better.

Group work, I love everything I learn in Loni's class

I liked how Loni is very helpful, there's tutors to help in/outside of class, and how there's study groups.

I really like it when we practice before quizzes, it helps me refresh my memory.

That everyday we walked in the class we learned something new even if it was the same material we was learning a new step.

I like the games to win bonuses for our tests.

The short quizzes. The over all experience.

Instructor.

no math on fridays

the way loni teaches is very fun and makes me listen to everything she has to say.

Assignments were turned in on Hawks Learning System and Loni was very organized in her way of teaching.

The material was easy to understand. Meeting 4 times a week was a good thing. And I liked that we always had quizzes on Thursdays so there wouldn't be any surprises. And I also liked using Hawkes to do the online assignments because it was easy to use and very effective.

I liked the entire course equally, there wasn't anything bad to say against it. She had her way of teaching us, and it worked out great.

All of it. I never did like math. Hated everything and anything to do with math!!! Its totaly reversed now! I love it.

just coming to class and learning.

Loni kept it fun & interesting. It was not easy to be bored in this class :)

I liked miss loni's lectures.

I like that the class was fun. We had sime funny classmates

Working with groups and getting extra help from the tutors.

All of them

hawkes

I liked how our class worked well together to make sure we all stayed together and on track.

How in depth we got with each concept.

- MY CLASSMATES :) -strong study groups -Tutors in class - compassionate teacher

I like how we have this class often.

When I thought it was IMPOSSIBLE to solve and problem, and then I DID!! Esp. with quadratic equations. That is the BEST feeling ever!

32. Comment on the physical environment of the classroom (space, noise, lighting, seating, etc.)

Appropriate space and working enviroment

the clssroom is well lighted and well ventilated it is not crowded

Loni's classroom is a calm and enjoyable enviroment. She lets you sit where ever you want, good amount of space between desk partners, and it's never too lood or quiet in Loni's classroom.

Very comfortable environment

Physical environment is very good. I especially liked the desks because they had a lot of room.

The class environment was really great. I think that all of us in the class got along really well. All of us were able to understand each other. We were like all close friends. We all worked together really well. Because of Loni she was able to teach the class how to work as a team rather then students competing on who gets the highest grade.

It was a great environment, AC, only the seating was a little full.

The class I was in was completely full, no noise at all (only when Loni asked us questions/ asking Loni questions), lighting was bright and easy to read the board from all the way in the back row. Seating is evenly spaced, not squished together.

Really spacious, clean and bright.

Physical environement was good everyone talked when it was appropriate although if we had a full class room there wouldnt be enough table room but there was enough chairs.

Sometimes the AC was too cold.

Good, not enough seats.

Friendly instructor makes friendly environment, average classroom otherwise.

no comment

maye move things out of the way or on the side to see the board at all angles.

The only bad thing about the class is that when you sit on the left hand side of the front row, the podium sometimes gets in the way and makes it difficult to see the board.

The environment of the classroom felt intimate. No one was off in the back all by themselves, it felt like we were a giant family.

Great! However I do feel that the math team needs thier own building!!! IT would help emmesely.

Noise, but good noise becaus every one was exited about Math.

no complaints.

We could use a better study group class room

I like it. Everyone is nice and friendly

the class is great.

it was a positive environment to be in because she was always so excited about what she taught.

great enviornment

the classroom environment is perfect. nothing to complain about here.

Everything was good!

The only noise in the class was students asking question and being involved.

Friendly and learning friendly environment where everyone helps each other and it is encouraged.

Was clean and nice. Only thing is it is ALWAYS COLD!!

when I chose Math 26, it WAS for the environment. The seating were such that tutors were able to go between tables to assist students, there is ample amount of space at the tables that you didn't feel cramped and the only noise in the classroom was from students asking a lot of questions.

33. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

nothing that i can think of.

This course doesn't need to be improved.

No improvements

I do not feel like this course could be improved.

I believe that this course shouldn't be changed at all. I think more students should be given the change to take Math 26.

I don't have any suggestions to improve this course.

I can't think of anything that needs to be improved.

N/A

Make it a six credit course. An even number works better.

See #23. Though I should add that not as many people show up for tutoring as I expect sometimes, but it's not because they don't know about it, though most might just not need help, I dunno what their grades are.

the course is doing fine and i like the lessond she teaches even thorugh its review. also the class room is nice and cool cuase of the ac.

I dont think anything needs to be improved itsjust fine the way it is.

I actually really liked this course and I can't think of anything to improve it.

In two or three sentences, I couldn't explain how it could be improved. I've stated that Loni has her way of teaching, and it really does come across very easily, easy to understand. So all I'd say is just keep doing what you're doing.

The only way it could be improved is if Loni moved up with the class to math 103!!!

whell i think all math corses could be emprooved and made a lot cheeper buy taking out Hawkes.

It would help to have books kept in the classroom. I would also appreciate if we could buy the disk only instead of disk & book.

We need a better study group area.i would like to be able to resell our textbooks somehow

Theirs nothing i know. Everything is fine.

Keep the hawkes system, as it helps students learn faster than paper homework.

none

can't fix whats not broken

N/A

Just having a seperate room for math students. Also doing something differently so the disk for the program!!! We should have books for the classroom and just leave them there for all years to have so no one has to buy them. Then people just have to buy the program...(without being the same price as with the book)

online link with a video and lesson that was taught in class for students who arent able to make class.

This course could be improved with a little bit more break downs and individual instruction for those with extreme difficulties.

The course could be improved by not going at such a fast pace and if you can only buy the Hawkes cd without the textbook.

34. Other comments:

Loni is a fantastic teacher, I hope to have her in my next math course.

for me this math class is the most interesting class because i do understand the lesson well and she explained it in a way that we do understand. the steps are clear that it makes it easy to solve a problem. she is one of my best teacher ever. i will take her class again in my higher math subjects.

Loni's a great teacher! I recommend other students to take her class in the near future because she cares for each of her students and would like them to pass! She helps you when needed and makes sure you understand what you're learning in that course!

youre the best loni(:

Thank you Loni for teaching me math extremely well, and helping me to understand it in a clear, in depth way. I will be very prepared for my math 100 class next semester.

I have grown to like this class and professor, it was a little hard at first, then I took advantage of all the assistance she offers.

Thank you Loni for teaching in math 26 this semester it was the greatest math class I ever had.

Loni is the best math teacher ever!

I liked this course the most the paste of the teaching was great I never got bored in the class because there was always new to learn. Loni's teaching was terrific and she was always willing to help with a specific question or an individual. Also if you miss one of her class she always gave you the option of going to one of her other classes.

The tutors were great, Jeramiah, Daniel, and Kenji without them I may not have survived. The course was intense and fast. Especially for me, I didn't have a strong math background but I didn't expect anything less.

Glad some person that perhaps I might be related to, who conceivably has taken some courses from Loni, and perchance liked her teaching style and stuff, and possibly recommended her as an instructor, might have encouraged me to sign up for Math 26. Ended up turning out pretty good. Hope fully don't get all 'froked' out by 140.

no comment

For myself, she was a great help on figuring out that I really should've focused during High School math so I would've remembered. But doing all that work, I have found myself just trying to learn new stuff now, and remembering all the older things in a new style or method of teaching.

Loni is a great teacher and deserves a raise!!! I'm being serious! She's serious when needed and shes understanding caring and kind at all other times. She makes you learn! You dont even realize it. And then boom A on a test!

She's very cool math teacher ever in Kcc campus

I can say I love math after taking this course.

Loni was one of the best teachers that I've ever had in all of my classes at KKC. She has a very high work ethic and cares about her students success more than any other professor at KCC. You can tell she wants to follow her students and see them succeed even when they think that they can't make it through the course. She's very organized and teaches in a certain way that helps non-math students learn very well, very quickly. I wish she would teach 103 if possible.

Thank you for an amazing semester. I have learned so much from you in such a ahort period of time. Thank you

Loni is a great teacher and I hope I can continue to learn from her in the future.

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

Math is a everyday skill. It help me refresh my math skills.

I feel at best this course was a waste of time, energy and money

I liked how the course followed the book for the most part, and that it involved a lot of real world problems.

That she made worksheet notes for everyone and went over on what we needed help on for certain problems.

If we have any questions, she helps us out with any problem.

I found it helpful that Loni was always there to help us if we were confused.

Probability.

Learned alot of stuff that I have never heard about, and did not think would be in a math course

the online assignments on compasscourse.

I liked how this class helped me learn by using my critical thinking skills. This class had me thinking on a different level than just doing algebric problems

Student discussions about Math material.

I learned a lot about critical thinking.. And the different types of reasoning that were taught in this class will definitely help in my everyday life.

online homework and handouts in class

That we did not get bogged down in calculations, the methods of which are quickly forgotten and can be quickly relearned when needed. The course skimmed a variety of mathy topics. With each we learned how to identify problems, pull the relevant info, and then apply the tools to solve it, always with the mantra, "does this make sense?" This kind of critical thinking is probably one of the most important things that can be learned in school.

THe style of her teaching, she made me feel comfortable cause she taught us with a more modern and urban way of teaching where this generation can mostly understand.

Iv'e never did this type of math before. It made me see a different side of math. It made me think differently. Loved it!

Thinking logically.

19. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

she's amiable

I really enjoyed the way Loni organized her lectures, and how she was able to explain material in a way that everyone could understand.

She prints out notes outlines for her lectures which is great.

She would teach us a math problem a different way if we did not understand it the first time.

She gives a lot of homework in order for her students to get the practice they need in order to pass the class.

Loni was very understanding with homework assignments. If I was having technical issues with assignments she was always willing to give me more time to get it done. She always explained things step by step, and made sure we got a full grasp of the topic before we moved on to the next.

Very nice. Willing to take the time to help you understand.

She was very good at explaining stuff and making it easy to understand

She has a vast knowledge of the subject and is very passionate about it.

her worksheet handouts on chapter review.

I liked the fact that Loni will go a step further to help us understand the material that is being taught.

Knows subject well. Reasonably fair in grading. Fair in extra credit points accumulation. Seemed interested in most topics.

She explained everything in a thorough and interesting way... And whenever we had questions about a problem she would explain it until we understood it.

Loni Delaplane is always wiling to answer questions and is easily accessible. She is an engaging teacher, even on topics that she thinks are less than awesome. Also, brains and attitude.

All the examples she presnted to us, made examples that we can relate to which was cool.

She made sure that we all understood the material before moving on. She made herself available for questions outside of class time. Very thorough while teaching. One of the best teachers I've ever had... :)

Easy to communicate.

20. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

The tests were very different from what we did in class. Instead of of making the questions so tricky be more straight forward. Its hard enough to nail down the concepts and math. She makes the word problems to difficult to decipher. Also Theorum project is was a waste of valuable time!

None, she's great! :)

Simplyfy the material so it is easier to learn and retain.

N/A

The course is perfect!

No suggestions.

All good

There needs to be more out of class assistance. I felt people left the class confused and needed further guidance for the upcoming classes.

maybe more explanation on problems solving although we are expected to be critical thinkers.

-- snipped --

None.

Sometimes some examples and lectures or lessons might need more time to understand, so if we have hard time then explain more.

None. You did a good job. In the beginning of the semester, I thought that I was never gonna understand this stuff. I ended up getting it so I have no suggestions

Less online activity.

28. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

scheduled class time

I liked how comfortable the atmosphere was between Loni and the class.

I like the online homework program.

Learning new math techniques to help solve math logic problems.

Everything.

online homework helped when it came time for tests.

Loni is bubbly and fun. Makes it easy to learn.

Learning new and interesting stuff

I liked it all.

the online homework compasscourse because you can understand and know how to do proplem solving, and looking at the book for reference.

Handouts that were given for each chapter help me to understand what is being thought.

Time and day slot.

N/A

logic ftw

THe video presentation was fun, do more of that.

I liked the whole thing. It made me want to learn.

Study groups

29. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

Make tests more in-line with taught subject matter...many questions were far to advanced for the concepts taught in lecture

I think that the course could be improved by having a little more group discussions after learning knew material. It's better to understand a topic if a peer is able to explain it to you in a way you'll understand, especially if you're totally lost sometimes.

This course needs to be a 3 day a week class, it was a really difficult subject to understand although she is very knowledgable about the subject.

I believe a little more time on a certain subject would be helpful.

More games to play to grasp the concept of each topic that was discussed.

I think that math100 could be better if the class time was a little longer. I also think that homework assignments should include more problems.

First of all, why did we have to buy that expensive book? We hardly did anything out of it. We only had time in the semester to do three chapters. Waste of money, especially since she gave us so many handouts. Why not just give a few more of whatever check points from the book she wanted us to do? Secondly, she emphasized organizing our binders to her outlined specifications, but never checked it, just glanced at it once.

More quizzes for feedback

Loni needed to work more examples on the board for people, or provide out of class assistance. This is a very challenging course for a lot of people, and there needs to be more help inside or outside the class.

none.. go through more explanations on problems to understand more..

See #20.

N/A

Have an option after every test to do a fix up or not. DOing this would improve the students grade and make us learn from our mistakes.

I have no complaints about the course.

Best class all semester!

Love the teacher, hate the course.

She is a wonderful teacher!

Math100 is the bomb diggity!

It would be nicer if she dressed more professionally. Slippers, a t-shirt and jeans every day doesn't inspire confidence. Especially on the first day.

Not much, just had really alot of fun this semester. I admit there frustrating times but i learned alot.

Thanks Loni for being such a great teacher. You made me want to learn and succeed in the class. Mahalo

I found that my classmates and teacher bonded well making it a happy and fun learning environment.

All topics were covered in good detail, and any questions were answered thoroughly and promptly. We were never made to learn something important without help, yet we were given the chance to learn new topics on our own before we went over them in class.

The difficult concept questions, which require one to truly know the material. Happy Panda!

That it was a small class and the teacher is able to answer your individual questions.

19. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

She can talk English and she's cool

She's never unavailable or unwilling to help, and she treats us as equals while keeping her vast experience and knowledge at our disposal.

Loni Delaplane is always wiling to answer questions and is easily accessible. She is an engaging teacher, even on topics that she thinks are less than awesome. Also, brains and attitude.

She took an interest in our futures and genuinely cared for us.

I found her availability to help and answer questions, and her great attitude to be most valuable.

Loni is an awesome teacher

20. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

None, everything all good

I think, if it were possible, a discussion opportunity on nights when homework is due would be nice. This is mainly due to the nature of WebAssign as we can't easily ask questions about the homework if we're struggling, and this sometimes impacts homework grades.

She could have more group work, as I rather enjoyed that and learned a lot. (that is, of course, if she can manage without taking away from required lectures) Also, Loni can have a little edge at times, so maybe that could be reduced.

I honestly have no suggestions, the course is perfect panda.

I don't know how this class or Loni's teaching style could improve. Everything went well.

28. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

I like series they are fun

It was fun, it really was, even in the hard bits.

The closeness between the students and the teacher helped the class improve as a whole, as we were all striving to learn together, rather than separately.

I enjoyed my class entirely, they made what would normally be a very stressful and hard class become a happy a great learning environment. =]

I like homework on webassign.... PRACTICE ANOTHER VERSION!!! oh and of course the teacher was awesome!!

29. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

No need

I'm not really sure... I guess more frequent quizzes and tests could help even out a single bad grade if a student was having a tough time on one topic, but later got better at it. It'd be nice to have a more structured way to check if there's homework, as I know a couple of times one or another of us would miss an assignment because we didn't know it was up.

As said earlier, group work is awesome! Other than that, I can't think of how the course could be improved. The only thing I had a problem with was the scheduling between this class and other classes.

They only thing I could say is that we need more time learning the information, personally I am slow at learning things so maybe 10 to 15 more minutes added on to the class.

I think everything went well

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

This course helped make math interesting. It made it matter, rather than just doing a whole bunch of unnecessary work that had no applications to regular life. The instructor made it much more fun than any math class I've had before, but it wasn't an "easy" class. We learned a lot, including practical applications. She explained things well and made sure we understood why we were doing what we were doing, rather than just memorizing formulas.

the way miss thought the class going about how to do each problem not over doing it, the way she made homework which helped learn the material more, the way she set up her grading system made it clear on what needed to be done and how fair we would be graded. the way miss did class work and how she presented it we could all understand it. thank you miss

No comment

learning the basics of algebra set a student up for success in future math classes

the help from classmates and in-class examples

The instructor is really good at what she does...it made it easier for me to understand the subject and actually enjoy the course

The class handouts were very helpful because I could refer back to it when ever needed and understand right away without the hassle of looking through the textbook and interpreting it so that I could understand. The tutor and solution functions in the online Hawks homework is also very helpful because it provides step-by-step instruction during a homework assignment. Loni's method of teaching keeps me focused on the task at hand and that helps me remember the lessons and steps more clearly.

The thing that I found most valuable about the course is that we went in depth about why equations and other things were the way they were.

responsibility .....this subject help me alot^^

everything

the most valuable and helpful thing about this course was that the teacher and student helper was very wonderful and helped with any problem i had.

What i found most Valuable and helpful about this course, is that Loni helped me gain better math skills, she helped me understand every difficult concepts of math. i value her ways of teaching because i could easily know what i did wrong in each problem the steps and techniques she showed me to specifically answer the question. Every steps that she worked on the board was very easy to follow. The way how she explained everything was clear and very understandable. LONI IS THE BEST MATH TEACHER I'VE EVER HAD(:

Having group work along with having a tutor in class. And also having quizzes every week really helped understand the work better and its always a good preparation for the tests.

Math 26 really helped me widen my horizons and since it was all new material i had to really focus and figure out how to do the problems step by step.

19. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

She made the class interesting. Math can be really tedious and boring, but she made it make sense. And made it fun. I would never be able to do her job, but she seems so enthusiastic about what she does. Even if we had a hard time understanding the material, she would take the time to explain it to us and show us the process. We were encouraged to ask questions -- even if they were somewhat non-essential to learning the material (like questions about how formulas were developed or why we do them a certain way). It made the atmosphere a lot more comfortable and made us learn a lot more.

most valuable about miss was that she loves math and knowing that she loves math you know she will teach us right. what was helpful is that miss gives you chances to learn and get the material down to the best of your knowlegde.

No comment.

she is friendly and professional and always available to give extra one on one or group tutoring.

she worked out problems whenever we needed the help

I loved this course...I have a really hard time understanding and actually learning math. Her presentation of the subject was great and easy to understand. I highly recommend this course to anyone eligible. Thank you Professor Delaplane for a great semester.

Her cheerful attitude in and out of class and her undying eagerness to do math or help students with a difficult problem.

She is very approachable and she makes us think for ourselves. When we need help she asks us what we should do first .....she doesn't tell us what to do with a problem.

friendly and helpful with her student

she knew what to do and taught us what not to do in math

The most valuable and helpful things i found about Loni is that no matter what she was always there to help or give that extra push for you to succeed in her class or tell you to go see beaux to help you with some math problems.

What i found most Valuable about this course, is that the instructor was very helpful, caring, and treated every student with respect. MATH is not my favorite subject, but Loni has helped me do better try harder and helped me improve of my math skills, she was very helpful to every student, she made sure that we all understand the subject, and if one student was struggling she would set up a study group where 4-5 students would meet up every wednesday to go over specifically the questions we don't understand and she showed me that she cared about me and to never give up on myself, she push me to of better. She made me feel important because she would use her own time to help me. The group study sessions with her has helped me improved on my TEST AND QUIZ scores, which I'm very thankful for her. I'm very thankful to have you as my teacher. Loni, keep up the good work(: I love that you go out of your working time to help students like me to do better and understand the concepts before quizzes or test. I'm very thankful for you to be my math teacher and having group tutoring every wednesday with you was a great help.

She's very knowledgeable and knows how to interpret the work so that the student would be able to have a better understanding and be able to know solve the problem. Her use of examples are easy to understand like for example when she brought sweet tea to class. She knows how to make things interesting for the students to learn.

If we have homework on Hawkes or book work, she always goes over the homework that we had trouble doing.

20. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

I can't really think of any better way, although the online homework software was kind of annoying to deal with. And it would be nice if Loni brought the hole punch to class every day.

no need miss is very good

N/A

none

use better discriptions when talking about certain things in the problems. ex. instead of using "blob" or somthing in the sort. and maybe instead of doing so much online work, have us work in the book a little more. some students work a little better when using pencile n paper(even if we could do the same in hawks) problems online isnt the same as the way it is in the books.

A new dry-erase board because after a while of writing and erasing with the previous writings still showing through it gets a little confusing, other than that I have no suggestions.

Nothing needs to be improved

nothing

Loni has nothing to improve in her class she did a wonderful job and was always prepared and the way she taught it.

YOUR THE BEST! (:

Maybe having more often working as a group but other than that she did a good job teaching because she sure did made a difference on the students performance in class especially on the quizzes n tests. Keep up the good work ms. Loni

28. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

I liked Loni's style of teaching, because she makes math interesting rather than tedious. I'm not sure there's anything more specific I can list because everything was great about it.

the hawks work the tests the fact that we had a quiz every week so you had to learn the material, math was very fun this semester

N/A

i like math so i like everything besides the online work

Her teaching methods and the handouts helped a lot.

The class was fun, Loni's personality made so much more enjoyable, and along with Loni's teaching method,handouts and online Hawks Homework made this math 26 course much more understandable.

I like the online homework

make it easier.

everything

I enjoyed the whole class even though 60 percent i was not fully understanding the concepts but after when we started a group session after class i begin to full more confident but then blank out when it comes to the test.

I like that when ever we struggle on one concept you would be willing to RE-EXPLAIN it again. YOU made math so easy for me to understand although it may be difficult at times but you made me enjoy every moment of it. YOUR A VERY SUPPORTING TEACHER TO EVERY STUDENT(:

I liked everything because I like doing math problems.

when she goes over the work, and she would make us try the problems on our own and than she would do the problems on the board.

29. State in two or three sentences how this course could be improved.

The only way I can think is if the homework software was different and required answers in the same format as the in-class work.

N/A

i feel that this course could improve by using less online homework and more book work. i also think that using the book in class might help students listen n learn a little more effectivly

A different classroom that better suited for extensive writing on the boards that will erase.

I think that paper homework should be given from time to time so that students don't get lazy or fall behind in doing their assignments.

its good already

nothing

This class does not need to be improved anything.

NO IMPROVEMENTS! You made me learn math the most easiest way, it helped me learn the concepts very easy(((:

Have the class time be on the same time instead of having two long classes and two short classes. I think that way the students would have more time to learn.

I think this class was good, 4 days is alot it made me really get the criteria i needed to know.

i really enjoyed being able to learn with Loni even though i didnt understand most of the times that just shows that i need to do a lot more extra studying and i cant wait to have another class with her next semester.

Good job ms. Loni in teaching math 26. I really enjoyed coming to class everyday although I was always late for class.

I also like how beaux was the tutor in class so he also could help us, i didnt have a tutor in my other math class last semester so it helped me also.

What i find most valuable and helpful about this course is that i like how this is another kind of step in math. This math 100 doesn't just uses your knowledge of formulas, or using mostly numbers because in this course your using to think outside of the box. This is what gets your brain to think and to keep thinking about the subject. The value that comes out of it is just as much as to trying for think for yourself instead of giving the ansers right there and then. It's helpful to the way we need to think instead of always realying on numbers or alpha. in math.

The assignments

the teacher gives us worksheets for the each chapter we learning

I found that thinking logically can be helpful in the future, especially when making decisions that offer a variety of choices

The course made me have a better understanding of logic and critical thinking.

It helped me think logically about certain things in life.

Having to use a lot of critical thinking made me pay more attention to my work.

I did learn more formulas for word problems but all in all there was too many group activities to actually learn how to work the material. Some students need repetition when it comes to learning all types of math.

handouts

That i could us these math techniques in everyday life

-new thinking processes -enhanced my problem solving skills

Critical thinking is important in math. There are many possible outcomes to a problem.

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

She always explained things in the most simplest way she could to help everyone understand problems better.

Her southern accent.

She does seem to enjoy math a lot!

What i find most valuable about Loni Delaplane is that she knows the subject from the back of her head. She knows whats she's talking about and she teaches the class with a great way of showing each of her students how to learn the concepts. She's very helpful, because their isn't a time where any group of students would ask for her help and she would try to make us understand the concept. I feel that she wants us to think about the problem, although not too hard, but just enough to understand it clearly. She is very helpful to her class in which if anyone need help of misunderstanding anything or just have questions she will help you!

Her teaching style

the worksheets and note taking

She gives examples that help her students understand something better by using real life situations

I appreciate how she comes around and helps us out a little with examples and practice problems.

That she is a down to earth teacher and it makes it easier to ask questions and not feel so intimidated by the course.

She was very knowledgeable in math 100

She was always really helpful when students were having difficulty with various sections. She was a very understanding person when a student couldnt make it to class. She allowed make up work and gave fair deadlines for the make up work.

She will review any previous work that we found difficulty in and she was also helpful by wanting to answer any questions we may have.

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

She does everything very well i don't have any suggestions

Slower pace

Im not sure if Loni Delaplane is a new teacher or not, but I felt like she was a bit inexperienced for the job. She seemed to have trouble explaining different things to us in a way that made sense or was easy to understand. At times we would ask her a question about a topic we're working on and she'd try to explain it to us to no avail and would then conclude by saying "We'll come back to it," and then she never does... Maybe she could sit down with one of the math teachers like Betsy Uyematsu, or math tutors who could help her to better explain the course material better. Her examples that she would use was also confusing and didnt help us to understand any easier. Dont get me wrong, i am doing well in this class, but its more because of the help from the math tutors and my nieces and nephews who've taken Math 100.

I think there isn't nothing to change. I mean Loni delaplane as a unique way of showing her teaching stye. She uses group methods to help each individual students to help others who are in that group. Well for example, by working on a problem in a group we all help each other to try and reach a solution. I know that this style is best because it showed that if i couldn't uinderstand how my partners got the answer they would carefully explain it to me one step at a time. Her methods are also great because it helps us understand mor about the concept.

maybe better examples when explainging some challenging problems

No improvements

To help more outside of class instead of referring us to online tutors or on campus tutors because it would help us better understand the material.

Working more problems on the board.

To ask questions more, explain more on our homework/ math problems, be more into with the students. Find ways we could improve in class. Be more helpful or concern. Give more handouts/ homework to study and work on.

Develop an outside tutor group for math 100 students. We found that there was no tutor to help with this course.

29. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

The logical part, using words in math was very interesting and it also helped me to understand things even outside of school. I used the reasoning at work, in other classes and sometimes just at home. I really did enjoy this class.

I guess one aspect that i did like about the class was she liked us to work in groups a lot which gave me the chance to get to know my fellow classmates better.

The aspect of the course i liked the best is the way we work into groups. I like it very much because we all help each other. I mean in regular math you are mostly comparing answering in a group. But nope not in MATH 100! In this course being in groups really help you to think more as a group and come up with idea's instead of just yourself. I mean in a group we are all thinking and putting our brains together. Another aspect of the course i like best is the way she have us make a binder of all of our work. This helps us a lot because it provides us with our work of what we did previously in an organize binder. This is a great way to have everything in the right places so that you don't have to go looking for it later on. It is really helpful.

The group and online assignments

umm idk... the online homework cause it shows examples

I really liked the every day new handouts because it helped me focus on one thing at a time.

doing a lot of the group work.

I liked all the worksheets and group work. It really helped!

I'm still not a fan of math. It is not my favorite subject.

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

She is very good at math and can communicate the course material very well. Calculus is a very difficult subject but she does a wonderful job at explaining it. We are very fortunate to have a doctorate of math teaching at KCC. Thank you.

The online homework through webassign was very helpful because webassign often offered videos to help solve the problems as well as practice problems. I also really appreciated the teacher creating a facebook page for the class so the students can ask questions, and even answer each other's questions.

I found how the applications relate to real life situations to be much more helpful in understanding the reasoning behind learning the material.

The amount of material and depth to which it was covered really stood out to me - not all math courses really teach the students a lot, but I feel like this was more than worth the time, effort, and cost.

Got 4 credits; know how to caculate a lot of things; caculus is so beautiful and funny!

Math 205 prepares students for more advanced courses in mathematics as well as other disciplines such as physics. I find this to be most valuable and helpful.

I found that the subject was very challenging at points and helped me expand my math skills and apply them in the future or whenever needed.

useing online videos for references

We will see what happens in Calc II, but I think I have gotten a very solid understanding of the fundamental of calculus from this course.

learning calculus

The work load is appropriate and the homework assigned and tests truly teach you what you need to learn. The availability of the teacher. Taking class time to review before tests. The no late work policy.

This course was challenging, but not such that I could not undestand. Ten weeks ago I had no idea what calculus was, or why it was useful, and now I have an understanding of it. I felt this course taught me how important organizized work is, which helped me in other areas of my life as well. I think I will continue on my mathmatical journey. Math is so fun and it gives answers to questions about many thing in our world and universe

Loni Delaplane was always there for questions, concerns, and for support when needed it most

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

Loni's extensive knowledge of the subject matter.

She actually cared about us students and wanted us to succeed. I recall her saying she was nervous about a test we were about to take because she wanted us to do well. She was always trying to help us understand difficult problems in class and even helped us with issues not related to calculus such as applications and scholarships. She also returned papers literally the day after the papers were turned in. We could receive immediate feedback and move on to new topics. I really admire Dr. Delaplane and am excited for another semester with her next term.

She was available for help when ever possible.

Dr. Loni really knows what she's talking about, and her constant cheerful attitude and approachability made her a complete joy to be around and learn from. I look forward to Calc 2 because I know I won't have to worry about disagreements with a teacher I don't get along with. She is an excellent teacher in general, and in Calculus in particular because her understanding of the subject is so good.

Always being available either by office hours or email.

She is so friendly and always have full-energy to answer my questions.

Loni, you really know what your talking about. Also, your very helpful so I guess that makes you valuable.

I found that she was available for tutoring whenever needed for students and that she was very knowlegeable about the subject.

communicating hard math

Loni Delaplane was readily available to explain difficult problems and clear things up when I ran into trouble.

she knew her subject

Brain and attitude.

Her knowledge of the subject. She left questions unanswered and later revealed the answers, leaving us to draw our own conclusions about things. I really enjoyed her teaching style, strict and to the point. I had a lot of fun. Learned a lot and learned that I really like math and want to know more.

As stated previously, Loni was always there in a time of need to further explain the content i was learning, outside of class

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

Make calculus magically easier.

Though it's hard to find any ways Dr. Delaplane could improve, I did enjoy participating in class by going to board, so perhaps more student teaching methods could be implemented, as long as it doesn't take up too much time from learning new chapters.

I believe that more in-class assignments or practice problems would help greatly.

I like the online section of the class, through WebAssign, but there are some bugs in the system that may have influenced my (or other students') grades at various times - not drastically, but it's an annoyance. Also, a clearer online repository for non-WA homework would be nice, so that if a student for some reason didn't write down the assignment or was out a day that didn't have as massive repercussions. There were a few instances where a student or two did what they thought was the assignment, but instead were in the wrong section due to a page number or something.

She is perfect XD

I think you could be more specific on exam review day.

Perhaps more time could be spent on optimization. Seeing the practical applications of calculus made the course a lot more interesting for me. Other than that I have no suggestions.

don't let certain students get the rest off topic.

I prefer a bit slower presentation of material. I am an auditory and hands-on learner, thats why I like to take notes while you're speaking. But sometimes it goes too fast to get everything down, though having everything down for later really helps me.

Maybe to give a better overview at the beginging of what calculus is and how we can use it.

Make the tests a bit easier (;

29. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

Handouts helped me a lot.

I liked how enthusiastic the teacher was and how there was bonus available.

I liked how it made Calculus approachable and demystified the complicated sections so that we could understand and comprehend it all.

Do example and watch Loni explain it. Then do more exercise online or from the book, think a lot make me excited!

I liked that you were always available and willing to help. I liked the small class size and how you were able to relate to everyone individually. I like your sense of humor and positive attitude. I like that you are a mathematical genius. I like that you helped me plan my scholastic future. I like that you give plenty of opportunity for extra credit. I like that the semester is over. I like that you will be my instructor next semester. :)

The aspects of this course that I liked the best are that it was a class that expanded my math skills and that it was a subject that I did not know if I could handle it.

work groups

Optimization was super cool as it clearly showed the practical uses of calculus.

class was intriguing.

Learning Calculus.

The fact that it challenged me, but not to the point where I wanted to quit. I want to know more and realize I am just at the beginning point of higher mathmatics. How exciting.

I really enjoyed derivatives. I like deferentiation although it was quite messy and a bit tooo much algebra, it was fun

30. Other comments:

You are a very good teacher. It's nice to see new very talented teachers coming to Kauai to help our educational needs. Hopefully one day we won't have to leave our island to finish our educational needs.

I'm very pleased with the course and look forward to next semester in Calc 2!

I hope next semester I can still take her class o(â?§vâ?¦)o~~

Thank You Dr. Delaplane

You are never to old to learn new things... even something that most people would take no interest in or have no idea why you would like to know that...

I like how we go through all the baby steps and learn things the hard way, when later we find it useful to solve things a different way. Math is periodic and i like when things get easier at the end due to all the previous content we were exposed to

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

I think the most valuable about this course is we met four times a week, which made the load a little easier and easier to remember what i learned during the duration

the combination of math 24 and 25 really created a higher level of comprehension of math for me. i appreciate that i can skip doing 2 semester courses and just take one to move forward toward college level math.

meet in class four times a week makes the learning easier. Its harder to forget the knowledge you learned.

this class helped cement my understanding of basic algebra by going over the specifics of each basic rule and exploring their concepts until they were fully grasped.

The course is valuable that it is like two classes in one and that after we can advance to math 100. Its helpful that we have this class everyday because it really forces you to be on the top of everything.

The method that the course introduces and explains new concepts make learning each section of the course much easier.

I could get my math requirements done fast and loni helped us a lot. she was a vfery good instructor and explained things thoroughly.

That two non college level courses could be completed in one semester. The fact we could meet up four consecutive days within the week. The Teacher "Loni Delaplane" was knowledgable and well versed with the curriculm.

that it takes time and effort to learn the materials

I took math 24 several years back, and I wish that the instructor was as helpful and enthusiastic. This was a much better math experience for me. I needed this class to try and remember what I already learned instead of having to start over. It moved fast and was a lot of work, but it was a very doable course and fun to come to.

What I found most valuable and helpful about this course was how supportive Loni Delaplane was. She was very clear in explaining new math concepts and encouraged us to ask questions. She demonstrates great knowledge about the course materials and when we ask questions she is very good at answering them with supreme accuracy and clarity. Loni designates time as well for her students to see her if they are having trouble with subjects. She was very motivated in supporting her us in this class and did whatever she could to help any of her students achieve the grade that they desire

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

she explained concepts in an easier way for me to understand and get it.

I learned a lot from loni because of her ability to break down information in a manner that is easy to understand and remember. She is the best math teacher i have ever had because she has helped me understand material i was suppose to know in high school, i have learned so much and i also remember what she has taught us over the course. it is because of her ability to teach that i have a high grade in her class; math is my worst subject and to be receiving an A means a lot to me. she is a really clear communicator, organized, and is helpful. i have no complaints about her, she really is a remarkable teacher that has had a profound effect on my knowledge, and i feel like i know math more than ever. i also really appreciate how she prints out our daily notes papers, it is really helpful and easy to understand for note taking.

She took the time to break down and work through the problems in class and slowed it down for others to get a clearer understanding.

Loni was very accommodating and very helpful as far as helping those students that need help. she was also very enthusiastic about what she taught.

i like that she is more on the younger side, shes so energetic, and since i have her class in the moarning and i have to wake up really early to get to school its better that she is wide awake and i lke her accent its interesting and keeps me tuned in and her style of teaching is very effective and she is really good and math and explaining everything so i know what im doing

Willingness to help students who had a difficult time with the material. Also she had effective teaching methods to convey the information when starting new sections.

Loni is very nice and helpful. she comes to class happy everyday and makes math very interesting. she is a great math teacher and she is fun.

She was willing to help, meet one on one with students and participated with activities in class.

she helps you when you need it

I really appreciated Loni's ability to make the material understandable. She definitely has a gift. She made it fun and easier for someone like me, who needed the extra help. She made herself very accessible for additional tutoring and offered help after class if needed.

In addition to the amazing support and encouragement she offered, she was also very good at giving examples and presenting new and challenging math concepts in innovative ways. She often would relate these math problems with situations that occur in real life, and she developed creative and effective techniques for memorizing new math concepts. Loni Delaplane supports her students 100%, and is also very encouraging!

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

slower learning pace to reinforce what was taught.

i dont really have any. i found it to be a great course.

The only thing that could be improved is the homework deue dates. Its on Hawkes which only allows you to do things in a certain amount of time and when the date that its due you cant really do much about it and i work at night so sometimes when i get home i cant really finish it before the time runs out and i think she should extend some of the due dates.

sometimes she moved really fast . we learn new material right before a quiz so it messed me us most of the time.

I do not actually have any suggestions. The class is pretty much to me as perfect as it could be.

N/A- She did a great job.

There's not much I could say to improve this course. Sometimes it's nice to have physical course materials to help us grasp concepts even faster. For example, if we were learning about different volume formulas, it's nice sometimes to have a physical sphere or pyramid to help us realize even deeper how everything (mathematically) relates. Other than that, I feel Loni has truly mastered teaching this course and I am definitely recommending this course to anyone who plans on taking at 24-26 math course.

29. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

i liked that this course allows you to move on to college level math faster.

everything.

i liked the atmosphere of the class. you could walk in and it was just great.

I liked the normal days when we just sat in class and worked on our worksheets in groups with Loni and Beaux walking around incase we needed help.

Was one of the easier math courses I've had. Not due to difficulty but through the ease of learning the course material from the lessons.

i liked that we could get bonus points by participating.

the class schedule, the teacher, and the fact again that two non college level courses could be condensed into one semester.

everything

We had a great bunch of students who worked well and had a re pour with each other to help each other to succeed, under the encouragement of Loni. GREAT CLASS! :)

I enjoyed everything about this course. The instructor was very supportive and encouraging, the classmates were very friendly and supportive, and I learned a lot from this course as well.

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

Math100 gets you thinking outside the box and uses your logic.

Doing worksheets and example problems in class.

It made me look outside of the box and think about problem solving in a new way.

the handouts and note taking she provided are most helpful homeworks and the online homeworks helps a lot too

that Loni teaches us so we understand better :)

This course has given me a great opportunity in my education and life. I have learned so many new things in this course that I have never known before. So far, I am capable of thinking in a logical way and solving logical problems. I feel that this is what's most valuable and helpful about the course. The fact that I a pre-nursing student, I certainly know that I'll use the skills that I've learned from this course in my future career. I really enjoyed this class and the class environment. I would definitely recommend this class to everyone, especially to those that are seeking a career that deals with thinking logically. :)

The critical thinking situations.

The course subject allowed my knowledge to expand beyond reality, it applies to many cases that are occuring in everyday life. The course is a great help for students especially for many nursing students becasue it allows you to experience the different side of math, its not just calculation but also enjoyment and fun.

very challenging but rewarding information was learned.

The class was different than normal math. I don't think I will be using much of this math unless I get a job that deals with these problems.

Nothing really, most of the time I was confused.

Worksheets and Group Activites

i have found that even I am good at Math 26 this course has been challenging and has brought my thinking skills to a whole different level.

worksheets, group work, online homeworks and test

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

The proffesor tries her best to try and get you to understand if something is difficult.

Her knowledge in Math and her positive attitude towards her class.

I felt comfortable asking questions in class, and she was available outside of class time for any additional help I needed. Mrs. Delaplane is funny and she made class time a good learning environment with group work and human examples.

She's very eager to teach and very helpful to the students, she knows her lesson very well and have knowledge of every subject in the course. she's easy to approach and ask for help. Very well prepared when you asked her questions and I would love to have her again for another Math class.

That even though i came to her office everyday she always helped me till i knew what was going on :')

Loni is a very friendly and outgoing teacher. She knows the subject well and makes learning math fun! I enjoy learning math whenever there are group projects and interactions and Loni has definitely provide that. Overall, she is a GREAT teacher!!

probably the group work interactions & all the handout she gave us!

She is exemplifying every single details so that we can grasp immediately what she is trying to point out and all the printable materials, it really helped me a lot especially in studying for my tests. She is good in explaining things....

Not mean at all...I felt comfortable to ask questions even if they seemed like a silly question to everyone els.

Loni is a fantastic and knowledgeable math teacher.

Willing to help students outside of class

Her enthusiasm was awesome it really made me feel comfortable and she made the material easy to understand

She's very outgoing and willing to help

She was able to answer question and very knowledgable about the subject matter

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

Providing a list/schedule of when homework, quizzes, tests, etc. are due for the entire course. It would have been more beneficial if we knew what was going to be our next assignment.

I would have like to have a syllabus so I could have looked ahead to the next section we were working on and new about tentative test etc.

I think she knows what she's doing so improving the course is up to the students already, coz I think she give her best in every class she teach.

N/A she does a terrific job, theres nothing she needs to improve :) i always look forward to seeing her everyday :)

i would suggest improve her time management! she needs to explain the material first before letting us jump into the problem....I feel lost sometimes!! But all in all she's a hands on teacher...

none...

I don't know if she can slow down a little when we are not understanding a problem, due to the time limit of a semester. However, sometimes, I feel left in the dark.

Stay on the problem that she is working on and not go off to teach something else. When it is time to review for a test, do not throw out something new, which makes it more confusing. Study and review only for the test. Don't wait till there is only 15 minutes left for class. If you are having the students do the homework from the computer, stick to that style of teaching and go over the problems using the computer and how they are showing it from course compass. I'm pretty sure you can do it in class. Why? There were a few problems that we asked for help that was from course compass and the answer and the method that you used to solve it was totally different from the computer homework. Please stick with the problem that we are trying to solve....

Maybe more worksheets and quizzes to prepare for the test.

29. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

Group work helps because your peers can help.

learning about the course itself.

I didn't know what to expect when I went into math 100 but Loni made it fun and interesting.

The course for me is all about critical thinking, I think this is important because in the career that I choose critical thinking is very important.

Everything from the start to finish :)

probability

When she allows us to do group activities, it is by this manner we can interact and discuss a certain topic and explain it through our own way of thinking and then she explains to us what may be wrong to our work.

group work helped me learn a lot

I only took this course because I needed the required credit. Math is not my strong point. I appreciated Loni's expertise in her being so knowledgeable in her field.

Nothing

online homework and examples for problems

Good Job Miss Delaplane. I would love to have you for another Math class. You made Math 100 as fun and easy as you can. Eventhough is as hard as a regular Math class. Thank you so much.

Ms. Loni :) i really enjoyed your class. There was nothing i liked better than u in the class talking to us and teaching us to be the best we can be. i hope that everyone can enjoy u just like i did :) you are the best teacher i ever had in KCC and i always look forward to seeing u :) i can never forget all the fun times we had together and hopefully u can find a good students just like me :) i will always see u on campus and remember everything u thought me. i really appreciate u going to the trouble to help people like me so that they can be smarter students :) You see at first i thought u would be just another teacher to lecture me but i really have fun :) Well ms. you know who this person who is writing will be and i hope i will see u again :) please continue your teachings because u are the BEST! :) thanks u so much for believing in me ms. :) from your number 1 student hehehehe jk Yoshi Nonaka :)

The test were really hard and different from the class work and homework. Maybe provide a study guide for the students before each big test.

I wish her well in all of her math classes. I only wished I could be as smart as her!! She will do well at KCC.

I feel that if she stayed on track, I would've felt more confident and happier in Math 100. I heard from previous students how fun and easy Math 100 was to understand last semester so I decided to jump on the band wagon. This semester was totally opposite. I also feel that I would've got a way better grade if things were explained better. Have a Fun and Safe Summer

Its has been a blast in Math 100 class I have learned a lot and had fun as well

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

Well basically, I learned many things new. =]

This course was helpful because of the intense learning of the class. It helped me prepare for the next course of calculas and furthered my understanding of the course.

The help and examples provided when doing homework as well as in-class work.

Good use of examples and practice problems to go along with lectures.

I am a high school student, enrolled in the Running Start program. This class has given me an idea of what amount of time and work is needed to be successful in college.

What helped me the most were all the examples that we did during class. That way if we were struggling we could either ask each other or ask Loni how to do the equation or see if we were doing something wrong.

Loni is very accessible and always made sure we knew she was there to help. Although the course material was extremely difficult, she made as though it was something we could manage. (whether or not we could) She was very generous with giving extra credit, as the class struggled with material and she tried to help us earn extra points. She is a very confident woman and made coming to class enjoyable. Fun semester overall- just a VERY difficult subject.

It help me develop problem solving strategies that I can apply outside of the class.

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

Her enthusiasm and friendliness.

She was forgiving and helpful when people needed it the most. It was helpful that she had time to teach and help people outside of class time.

she is open to any question and is very helpful and patient when someone doesn't understand

Loni is able to clearly explain material to a level where I can understand and replicate the process and idea.

Her teaching style.

She was friendly and made the class environment very comfortable

When we were given problems to solve on our own during class she would walk around the room and see how each student was doing and saw whether they needed help or not.

Pls see above. It was also pretty awesome that for chpt 9 she gave us many handouts in order to help organize the series/sequences chapter.

She was thorough with explaining subjects students didn't completely understand and used examples.

Loni is a wonderful instructor. She loves math and cares about students. She is accessable and helpful.

That she was able to make up exams for wroking students.

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

ummm... Include more class participations.

Don't do redemtion quizes; find a better solution to the problem.

Keep homework due dates consistent. I missed one or two homework due dates to to them being on days different from the norm.

E-mail or Laulima notification for assignments given in class would be helpful.

I had a really hard time learning during lectures, maybe a more hands-on approach, like more in class work would help. (if possible)

Personally, I'd like a combination of written homework and online homework. Online homework is a little to easy to just do slight manipulation to numbers from the examples or even from the "Help me solve this problem" option.

I did think that the questions on the exams were much more difficult than the sample questions we were given in the book and also the hw questions. I would often re-do hw's in order to prep for the exams and find myself not understanding or doing as well on the exam as hoped.

Maybe a little more one-on-one time.

This and all KCC math classes NEED LABS! My best math result at KCC? Math 103. Why? Because Gigi offered a one credit lab. Please do this if you want sucessful math students. Use the stem money and give us more time with our instructors. There is no suppuort for calculus students on campus. No tutors can help us. Vee is wonderful and generous but we can only bother her so much. The UH Ola tutoring is better than nothing but is very inefficient.

Recommend using the projector white board, and using other software programs as visual aids. Example; Sketchpad or GEUP4

28. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

I like the umm feedback from questions we have I guess. (\__/) (>'.'<) U U (_)-(_)

The best aspect of this course was the organization of the sections that was taught in the course. It was easy to follow along because of how well organized the couse was.

The class discussions as well as the positive energy.

I liked how we had an opportunity to practice in class what we were going over, it's far more effective than doing nothing but watching and listening.

I enjoyed Loni's friendly attitude. It made learning the material easier in a way.

I really liked that she encouraged us to solve problems on the board. I kind of wish we did more of that throughout the course. For me, I notice that I learn a lot better when I write out what I think is right, but the class/the instructor find a small error in my calculations.

I appreciated the amount of examples she would do in class. Very helpful.

The fact that some subjects in the class relates to real life problems.

I love being in the classroom with Loni. She is fun and positive and at the same time serious and demanding.

29. Other comments:

It was a fun and knowledgable course. Thank you. (\__/) (>'.'<) U U (_)-(_)

I really enjoyed the class and the people in the class. But I did not enjoy learning Calculus 2. But I don't think any teacher can help that.

All-in-all I really enjoyed this class! I really wish there were a Calc 3 class next semester!

Please make this class accessable to as many students as possible by keeping it scheduled in sync with other classes, ie m,w,f or t,r not something wierd that conflicts with the classes KCC's most ambitious students take, like chem, bio etc. Thank you Loni!!

Awesome Instructor one of the best on KCC campus.

4. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the course?

She was very helpful, going through each and every process of a math problem. SHe also encouraged the students to ask questions when and if they were having trouble following along or understanding a certain concept. She made sure we didn't more ahead until everyone understood the last chapter.

I have an easier time listening a teacher rather than reading a text book. Loni did great on this part, in how she explained everything out.

the class handouts

What i found to be most valuable is the way Loni instructed the course. Although the course became difficult at times, Loni has a certain way of teaching that made the course understandable. Loni has always been available to her students if extra help was needed.

In this course, I found that Mrs. Delaplane is very helpful and willing to help students individually. The material that we learn is easy to understand because of her effective style of teaching.

The Hawkes online homework

Lectures and working out problems with the class

What I found most valuable and helpful about this course was using the Hawks system. It was convienient and it helps me practice the material until I fully understand the work.

Attendance is a must...if you miss just one, you'll be lost.

how she downsized the amount of questions on homework. it was much easier to do and if i made a mistake, i didn't feel like i had wasted too much time on it and i didnt decide to just give up on everything.

20. What did you find most valuable and helpful about the instructor?

She really helped me with my schedule a few time during the semester, which was very helpful and greatly appreciated. There was a few things that came up and she was able to accommodate me by allowing me to reschedule my test to an early day. I was also very understanding with me.

The way she teaches the class and explains everything. I liked doing the homework on hawkes, which we was given only a few amounts of problems to do.

she wasn't very helpful

Loni was always willing to provide extra help to her students. Loni has a certain way of teaching that made the course easier to understand and made class time fun!

I found that my instructor was very helpful and made my learning experience very easy. Though some of the material was hard to comprehend at times, she was very descriptive and precise as to what we needed to do get where we needed to be. She's a very caring and helpful person that is willing to take the time out of her day to help me with any questions that I may have about the material that was covered in class.

She gave handouts for the chapters which made it easy to follow

She explain new material clearly in a way that I can understand the material well enough to do the homework and exams

What I found to be the most helpful about Loni Delaplane was that she was available to her students when they needed help with any of the material we went over class. I also thought that she was very helpful when describing a problem and showing us how to do them by breaking it down into steps.

She taught in a way that I could understand the material.

She interprets the book lessons much clearer for students to learn the material.

What i found was most helpful was that she was willing to work with you after class.

21. Please list your suggestions for improving the course and/or the instructor's teaching style and methods.

The only issues I had was with chapter 7 and 10. If these chapters could maybe be split up on a test or, have more time to exdplain each chapter, might have helped a little more.

none. everything is was done perfectly.

no comment

Have some of the things could have gone alittle more indepth

none.

Should make tests worth way more than homework. :)

dont really like the online homeworks. It does require us to do it different from in class. we hardly used the book as well. Dont like hawkes!!!

when you give examples to the class, give harder ones and work them out with us. lots of times the examples on the handouts/the ones we did in class were really simple compared to what we had on the homework so i think it'd be beneficial to give hard ones so that we can look back at it while doing Hawke's and be confident that we're doing it correctly.

Things to improve the course would be to slow things down. I know she has to cover a lot of different topics in a short amount of time, but the point is to get the students to learn and comprehend. Some topics went by so quick i didn't know what hit me. I think its better to have the students be efficient at the methods before jumping to the next topic.

29. Which aspects of the course did you like the best?

I enjoy doing math, and this semester was my first semester back to college and I feel that Loni is a great teacher and I enjoyed having her as an instructor.Everything about this class was good.

none

the techniques on how to solve math problems

I liked how everything is broken down from previous material that we have covered and builds up to what we are learning at that time.

That it was really easy to follow and it was really comfortable learning environment

Using Hawkes because it can tell you if you got the wrong answer right way and tells you what mistakes you might have made instead of waiting till the next class meeting on finding out the right answer.

What I liked best about the course was Loni Delaplane's teaching proocess. She would make little ways or tricks for us to remember a certain process or step for a problem, which I thought was very helpful during tests and homework assignments.

"the half & square" dance, although it was really funny; it kinda helped me to remember what the heck to do with those problems.

30. Other comments:

Wish you would teach Math 103 next semester. Thank you!

not a very good teacher and needs to get more experience in teaching before working with students that are in lower math classes because they need more support to succeed.

Loni is an awesome instructor and I would advise any student that needs to take Math, to take the class that Loni is teaching.

keep up the great teaching!

I thought that Loni Delaplane is a great math teacher. I've learned a lot from being in her classes and would recommend another student into taking her math class.
