I enjoyed all the time we spent in the field. I also liked meeting all the land owners on the field trips that we went on.

this class was really easy.the fieldtrips were very fun and resourceful. i like how i learned about the different windbreaks, building an ecofriendly sustainable landscape for the hiilani eco house, learning how to graph cuttings of branches, and going to the different farms were interesting.

field trips mapping

I liked being outside of the class. I have a hard time learning from a book so she helped me learn more and faster.

Mela is a great teacher, who is willing to help you with what every needed. I don't see any room for improvement. I learned a lot of information in this class.

I loved the concept of this class and the overall arching theme of agroforestry. This is education at it's best by trying to bring about a better world for all

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

All activities were fun.

I liked alot about this course. Especially the projects. It lets me as a student go out and learn about the environment like it's part of my everyday life. An example is something simple, like going to the beach and see the amount of impact we as humans place on the environment.

I like Mela's positive attitude that she brings to every class. She also makes a lot of effort to help student succeed, such as extra credit.

Everything.The learning material and the book had a lot of interesting stuff for the whole world to grasp.

This class was excellent. Dr. Scheffler's lectures and assignments were knowledgeable, engaging and thought provoking. The text book was very informative, full of interesting information and easily understood. One thing I enjoyed most about this course was that the material often made me think about the subject matter and continues to help me develop a sense of responsibility towards our communities and environment.

I liked having hands on learning. Also letting use choose our own topics on projects made it more interesting for me because i got to researched and learn more about what i liked.

I enjoyed doing the activities in this class. Even though the current events lasted all semester. They helped me stay on track with what is going on in my surroundings, and most importantly about the environment.

i didn't like any of them, its jus seemed our points of view were coming from different perspectives.

Eco-potluck is awesome!

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

Maybe more field trips. It would be great to be able to visit such said sites we've been learning about, since it's basically in our backyard.

N/A

More in depth lectures and time for open class discussion would be great.

Just keep us involved and we will stay focused on you.

yes be prepared

Stay on subjects....not as many changes to syllabus

15. Other comments:

Loved this class!

I have learned so many new things from this class that I'm gonna miss this course and I would advise other people to take this course? Seriously.

Mahalo nui!

Thanks for teaching me what you learned and i appreciate all you've done for us.

Mela is hahdcore

Would take another class from mela she always trys to get us to understand no matter how many different ways she has to explain, she's always prepared.

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

out doors :)

The field trips to the different places were fun.

labs were fun!

This course mostly consisted of field trips. I thoroughly enjoyed the time spent learning outdoors, being able to see, hear, smell, touch and sometimes taste the environment and ecosystems we were studying.

The hands on helped me understand what i was doing and also helped me engrave it into my brain.

I enjoyed each field trip. Each one had a significance and I enjoyed them because it gave me a hand's on experience about the subject matter.

although i liked the hua ka'i's finding time to go over assignments with her was a bit difficult

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

the excursions were cool

Everything was interesting and fun, including the lectures!

learning about the hot plate and radiation

i like the activities we did in class. they were very fun.

I like the fact that we have hands on experience, making the lecture interesting and relating life experiences with academic.

I liked when we had to do the eco-potluck because i thought that it was cool to know that the spoons and forks that we used was made out of potato starch. And i never knew that you can make anything like that with potato starch and that day i learned something new.

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

Mrs. Scheffler is very informative with the material we are taught and is a really compassionate instructor.

I really enjoyed having Mrs. Scheffler as a teacher and i feel that's one of the reasons why Science 20 was my favorite class to take this semester.

Good job!

Work load was fair and appropriate.

Mela is such a good teacher she really knows how her students learn.

I like how Pamela creates different stratigies for us students to think about for assignments. She is very knowledgable in the AG 275/275L course. I like how she tries to combine the Hilo and Kona class for field trip. I like that we as the Kona group can do projects here in Kona and Pamela coming here and teaching a lesson from Kona. I would highly express my greatfulness of Pamela and her teaching. Thanks for sharing you knowledge with us.

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

I really liked that this online course took advantage of the ning site. It provided a wonderful place to share ideas and information as well as getting to know the other students, which is hard to do in most online courses. Exposure to new things like the Scratch program I thought was also a good use of the media available. I also liked the attitude of the instructor and think that it made for a good experience.

The only thing I liked was the Newsshare idea because we got to discover how the environmental science concepts are affecting the real world. However, I didn't like that the article had to be less than a week only otherwise it would receive no credit. As long as the article isn't from 10 years ago, I don't understand why an article couldn't be from a couple of weeks ago. I don't think that was necessary or fair.

I liked how involved you were in the class and discussions.

Everything about the class was interesting.

I learned a lot of new things. Some were not so interesting, but most were.

Ning site. Presentation. Video game production.

power point lectures were very interesting

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

A couple structure issues came up over the course of the semester. With the open-ish format, a good idea in my opinion, but it could use a couple tweaks. I would say open all chapter quizes/tests from day one to allow the online student to be free to work at their own pace and the freedom to learn the material in any order. Use the discussion boards and newshare as a way to guide the students with their weekly participation. Add folders to the newshare ap, it did get a little confusing at times to sort through all that was there to make sure I had completed what I needed to do. Maybe break down the six part questions for each discussion board and use this to keep each disussion going for the whole of the semester. Might make for troublesome grading, but I think it would help keep each issue alive until the end of the term. I think that by starting with one question and then adding a new question along those same lines each week would also help the discussion, rather than the 'I have two hours to make a post before the section closes,' as many students did. It was sad because many of the points made in the fianl two minutes were good and would have been nice to actually discuss. I would probably make the all the exams available for the final week. But then again, for a 100 level course usually the focus is on basic concepts and vocabulary and I got more out of the course than that.

The course was extremely disorganized and difficult to follow. In the beginning of the semester, we were given upward of 6 weeks to complete the module. This infrequency actually made me lose track of the course. The times that assignments were due were all over the place, so that also made the course more stressful because I never knew when something would be due. The assignments also got pretty repetitive as there was no creativity in coming up with assignments (except for a sparse few). All we did was take the quiz, post to the discussion and find an article. The presentation and presentation reviews were the most interesting portion of the course, and I wish it were worth more, and the discussions and opinion of other's discussions were worth less. I also thought the Scratch game would have been a good idea, except it refused to work on my computer.

It would have been nice to read the chapters for extra credit that were not required or covered in the modules. It also would have been nice for you to give us more detailed directions for projects of scratch program and power- point presentation. I know it was only your first class online, and it was much disorganized, as opposed to the may other online classesI have done. It also would have been easier if students had shorter time to get a chapter done in a module becasue they would respond sooner and give the rest of the class opportunities of responding and interacting on the discussions. Not cool to have our discussions graded differently throughout the semester, confusing. Need stability in online classes, structure. I felt like I was jumping around a lot in this class. In the last discussions if we dont have three other students respond then half our grade is gone, not cool. How bout if they do respond, then we get extra points, not cool to lower grade though. The quizes sucked. Very impersonal and tricky. Hard to get good scores on them, no matter how much I studied. I have never had that problem in any of my classes.

Pamela appeared very knowledgeable in her area of expertise and I respect her tremendously. I respect any teacher who can lecture without looking in a book. Her information came right out of her head and it was meaty. Pamela knows her stuff and has the personality to draw you in even if it's not your favorite subject. It sure wasn't mine. I did though enjoy learning about the environmental state of our planet. Her lab was great but her online class was horrid. Though she know her material, she overloaded me with so much that I retained almost nothing. As a 100 level course, she should have simplified the class. If she would have given us less work we would have gotten a lot more out of the class. I say we because I am not alone in the matter.

Make it not so work intensive. Between discussion post and replies, news posts and replies, assignments, exams, presentations, critiquing five classmates presentations, reading the chapters, power points and other media to augment the book, programming a video game, jumping back and forth from ning to laulima, and surveys, other classes, a job, and a family with two kids, an easy class was made difficult to keep up with.

Tests and quizes with accurate results in a timely fashion.

less weekly assignments. There were many assignments many more than other courses.

24. Other comments:

At times the course load seemed very heavy and at other it seemed almost nonexistent. But we were warned about it and this strategy provides something along the lines of real world work experience as some days you really have a lot to do and other days are pretty lax, but I could see this as potentially hazardous for many students with other course loads being equally intense at the same times. As a student I was very satified with what I recieved for my money and would recommend this course for anyone first stepping into the world of the natural sciences.

I didn't like the use of the Ning site. It made the class confusing and unprofessional. I would much rather keep all of the work on Laulima or a professional textbook website where it belongs. I didn't join the class to be "friends" with people.

Class was scattered not put together well.

Mrs. Scheffler had helped me a lot through out this course and semester. I came across some difficult health issues and Mrs. Scheffler was very understanding through it all. She was very sincere about it and it made this course a little bit more easy for me to deal with. From my heart, Thank you so much. I cannot find the words to express how much this meant for me. THANK YOU!

Telling people what not to do for major projects may help control quality and academic integrity.

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

I really liked Ms. Scheffler's knowledge and personality. Her knowledge about the environment has been beneficial to me as a student and has made me more aware of environmental issues as well as developing ways to be self sustaining.

Trips went on were great educational experience.

Outdoors was great

The instructor and the field trips. My favorite field trip would probably be to the Hawaiian Vanilla Company, and of course to King's Landing. I also very much enjoyed planting seeds.

i liked how we got to go to the vanilla farm because i never even heard of that place before. it was a great experience and i also like going somewhere for every lab we have.

LOVED the excursions!!! Always looked forward to coming to class and Mela has such a great attitude.

activites. I very much enjoyed not being in a classroom very long and getting a more hands on, in the field, sort of experience.

I liked the field trips. They were really fun.

West Hawaii lab instructor was Flora P. She is difficult to communicate with, short tempered, over bearing, raises her voice frequently and was frequently disorganized with her field assignments. during one field trip she took our class into an area of the national park that was off limits/kapu and when I declined to continue following her and instead returned to the parking area to wait until she returned she yelled at me and called me a child. Really? I am 50 years old and respectful of the law. can provide more info if it is wanted. sorry but this is the only time in my school career that I have had a bad experience with an instructor. lori

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

N/A

None.

a little more organized

None, this course was great!

Not being only on fridays. We missed many class periods because of Holidays. I think we missed many opportunites to do more because of this. Along these same lines I think that with the way the course was taught it could benefit by longer class periods or another meeting day. I am sure this wouldnt happen because of credit hours and whatnot, but the only way to make it better would be to have more of it.

You feel like your on your own in Kona. Can't rely on Flora for much things. I wished you could have helped us more.

Had a blast!!

Wonderful survey of Environmental Science! It was very thought provoking and promoted one to look at the world in a new way.

I look forward to more lab courses with this instructor.

More monitoring of Flora's activites would help the class be more cohesive. It felt that it was Flora's class and not Mela's class. Flora direction is very hard to follow.

i like watching some of the movies that we watched to learn more about the subjects we went over.

i liked watching the shows and doing the worksheets the best.

learning through film

i really like how everything we learned was tied in to whats happening in life now.

Knowing a lot of stuff about the things on the earth.Knowing the things that happening in the world.

I enjoyed the class lectures, they were well thought out, informative, and usually fun. Learned a lot from this class, hope others get a chance to take it.

I like watching movies to learn!

Good teaching hope other students will like this subject because its really interesting the thing that the student will learn.

Pamela is a great speaker, casual, and easy to listen to, makes you think a lot about environmental problems and solutions. I really enjoyed going to class. I would recommend it to anyone.

I enjoyed the Mela's lectures, she has a way of getting your attention.

I liked that we got to work with groups. I didnt like the amount of work she would give, at times it felt somewhat overwhelming.

There are alots of assignments in the class, but they all really help you learn the material well.

we went places.

I enjoyed the class presentations and becoming more aware of the environmental problems we are facing.

Probably the best teacher ever. I wish she taught everything. Every aspect of this course was bueno.

best teacher i ever had

Assignments and lectures was informative, and able to understand. Activities in class corresponded well with the assignment. Pamela was a wonderful teacher who took the time to explain in detail if I had questions on any course work. She met with me numerous times to accomidate my disibility and help me understand my assignments.

Opportunity for Extra Credit work.

I enjoyed this class & learned a lot.

I liked the Eco potluck activities.

I liked that the chapter questions for homework were useful for the quizzes.

agree

i liked how everyone had to do a presentation that showed awarness thats happening around the world or in hawaii and some of the presentations made me really pay attention to whats happening in the world. not that much things will be here because of global warming.

I like everything about the class, because we do things by our hands and that is part of the learning.

N/A

It's excellent

The course is taught perfectly!!!!!!!!!

NO.

Good enough.

there is too much chapter homework. it made me procrastinate in this class. i learned more when the teacher talked about the chapters because that information caught my eye.

lessen the assignments and projects

13. What did you like about this course, such as activities, projects, assignments, etc.?

It was nice to get out of the class room and learn hands on.

I enjoyed all the trip's im glas we did not have to be in class for 3 hours straight!

I liked the farm trip to Honokaa.

The excursions to different farms, parks and the ocean and incorporating that into our education and learning was very interesting and helpful. I really enjoyed the aquaphonics. The course work and assignments including our projects gave me the understanding of Science and why it is important to understand what our Earth and environment is going through. Thank you very much!!!

I liked going outside, and doing things out of the classroom. I learned a lot each week about something new.

i really enjoyed the labs because almost all the time we were outside doing experiments.

I really enjoyed the field trips and doing the lab reports also learning more about native plants. This class is excellent i would tell anyone to take it.

I really enjoyed being outside on the trips and having hands on experiences.

fun field trips

i liked how we all went on fieldtrips and learned about the places and how it really impacted the environment and economy around us. we took tests to prove the real facts.

14. Any suggestions to improve this course?

None

none at all, this course is taught perfectly!!!

nope

The course is very good.

Have a bathroom close for us women to use when on trips.

i had a hard time with the lab reports, but not the trip reports. it was hard for me to show the results of a fieldtrip report.

I would not change a thing

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Pamela made the class and lab exciting and fun. The best way for me to learn is to make learning fun!!!

Professor Scheffler is interesting and her teaching style appeals to many of her students. She is full of knowledge and has a passion for her subject.

Mela made me want to know more about the natural history of Hawaii and because of her I'm looking at the environment around me a little differently (which is a good thing)

good job!

I think her teaching is good. I wished for more lectures.

I think she is well informed.

Her methods were great! I had fun in her class pertaining to the subject and material.

I feel that she has great teaching techniques. She really knows a lot about this course.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

She was very knowledgable about all of the areas we visited and I was very impressed.

good job!

Yes, I have learned so many plants.

Some what.

Yes, very much so.

Yes she has. I never knew any thing about how the islands form, about the marine life. I never knew that it was so important.

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

The videos are not so good

I wouldnt do anything to improve the course.

For most of my classes, the structure of assignments are usually given to us before we turn the assignment in. For example, the interview project only had one main criteria; it had to be 3 pages long. So if one of us did this assignment on time, and it was 3 pages long, then they should have got an A. The midterm was very similar in the way that no one really knew what to expect. Now the midterm is over and since we don't really have to be tested on it again, I won't go back and review what I should have known. Then again, if we had a more narrow idea on what to study, the test may have been to easy. The video thing was different, kind of like this could have been a online class. That is pretty much all I got. As far as all the activities and classroom discussions, this class was awesome, and I learned a lot.

videos are too long

ommit the dvds that were needed to watch weekly.

maybe show some different videos that tie in with the subject for variety and different cultural practices shown.

Less videos and more hands-on learning

I know it wasn't Mela's fault for this class set-up being faulty, but if I were teaching this course, I would definitely get rid of all of those videos! The videos were so hard to understand because it was over my head and it was super long! I would do more in-class presentations and powerpoints to get my lesson across to the students.

I would have liked to have more in class work and more lecture from our teacher. I would have much rather had our teacher lecture for an hour or two than having to watch 1-3 hours of videos on line.

If pamela scheffler were actually allowed to teach the class through lectures instead of some of those long ridiculous movies she would have improved the class greatly. LET MELA LECTURE..

Less movies!! It was difficult to motivate myself to watch the movies even though I really enjoyed the content. I would have liked a text. Not a book (a am poor and a college student), but some reading materials would have been nice.

I wouldnt change anything. Being the class that it was, the assignments and materials were clearly helpful and was taught right.

more hands on, less video chat

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

Pamela was very knowledgable and taught very effectively

Great teacher and great teaching methods.

She's extremely knowledgeable and presents material very well

i actually love the teacher & her style of teaching & that was why i was looking forward to the class, however felt disappointed because regarding curriculum & specific standards for the class, she couldn't really teach all out in her own style. so that kind of bumbed me out.

overall great teaching method maybe more field trips

I thought it was quite ridiculous to have to watch 3 hours of videos a week in order to understand the subject matter. It would of been nice if the instructor knew a little more about the subject-matter herself.

Like I said, it wasn't Mela's fault. She did her best to try to explain and answer students questions, but it was still very difficult.

I think our teacher is amazing and very knowledgeable I don't think there is much more she could have done unless she did not follow the format she was given. If it were not for the online videos I think that it would have been easier for her to teach us the subject matter and easier for us to understand the material.

great.. dont make anymore students have to watch those videos.

I wish that Mrs. Scheffler was able to teach the class, oposed to learning the material through movies.

it was all perfect

I absolutly loved Pamela, and the course contents. The way she was obligated into teaching it though, with all those video's, sucked. I would have done it almost any other way. An exciting, and possibly hands on experience would have given us more knowledge than boring videos that put us to sleep.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

I have learned very much valuable information from this course

Yes!

yes

shared experiences so it helped tie knowledge to learning

N/A

yes she did greatly increase my knowledge on the subject.

I love ethnobotany!!!!

yes

22. Other comments:

Pamela is a great teacher, she has alot of knowledge and she makes the class fun. I wish I had been in class more.

none

This course felt like it was being taught by the professor on the videos which was extremely boring

For future classes, the professors should be able to decide what they should or shouldn't use to teach the class. In this case, Mela' couldn't take out the videos from the lesson or substitute it with something else. The whole class struggled trying to understand the content and it showed in the test scores. I was very disappointed with my grades, especially since I tried really hard to watch all the videos and take good notes. Maybe if we have to watch the videos, notes and class discussions should be allowed during the tests. Or, maybe the tests could be edited to reflect what we covered. Another suggestion would be to hand out review sheets that explain what will be on the quizzes so that we can be better prepared to take them. Writing all of these essay questions on the quiz was stressful.

I loved this class because of the teacher. It was unfortinate that she could not stray from the class set up because many of us found the online videos to be boring, at times hard to hear and conflicting within themselves. Overall I enjoyed the class and would take it again from this teacher. She is always available to us, accomodating and encourageing.

some of those videos went to off subject and i considered them unnessary though some may have been interesting.

Hope to see this instructor again, would love to see how she would teach it.

I think that we should have spent time in the beginning of the semester going over what is expected in a lab report. I also learned that I shouldn't take a Lab class without taking the main class with it. I feel like I am constantly behind and unprepared. Other then that, I think the trips are relevant to the class material. Our teacher is very smart and knows her stuff.

its good. we are always on a field trip to going somewhere so thats really nice. it helps me focus because we always have a different enviornment used as another class room.

unpresidented!!!

I like her teaching methods.

their great

i learned alot and am very happy with this class

I really enjoyed the way she thought us about environmental science.She made field trips to make it more clear on what topic we were learning.

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

yes

absolutely, even albert einstein and helen keller would vouch for that!!!!!!!

yes

somewhat

oh yes a real eye opener on the environmentq

22. Other comments:

none

recognition for her excellence in knowledge and teaching far surpasses any expectations of any student. enviromental science instructor of the year award should be awarded to her. the only person i have ever known to have so much love, knowledge and concerns about our enviroment. she deserves a reward, raise and a promotion. thank you mrs scheffler, i was never ever was concerned about our enviroment until i was a part and involve in your course. it has been an honor and a privledge to have been student under your tutelage. i will definately contribute on my part to implement in any way possible to help the enviroment. thank you for inspiring me and God bless!!!!!

great class :)

this is my favorite class makes me want to major in science i like that kind of stuff

no comment

I wouldn't change much maybe try and find closer places for field trips

Nothing her teaching methods were fun and hands-on, which made it very easy to understand the information taught.

make us work more on feildtrips we love to get dirty not jus watch others!!!

I would improve the amount of work and reports that is needed to be done.

more hands on activities during lab time instead of tours

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

She has a very awsome teaching method. She related to the students really well and helps out who needs it.

19. If you were teaching this course: a. What would you do to improve it? b. What would you change?

Nothing shes a good teacher.

NOthing needed to change

make more interactive exercises

If I was teaching, the way I would improve this class is to have less work instead of having a lot of work that is due in an amount of time period. I would explain all the work and reports due the next week of class.

nothing at all

Nothing

I would probably change the way the quizzes are done. Either making it multiple choice or more specific would be better. Having the type of questions that you have to fill in makes it hard to really grade. Sometimes you may have a hard time remembering the exact words or definitions of words, but if you see it, you would know. Also, how do you grade everyone's tests if each person has a totally different answer?

I would probably change the class project to something else that is more fun.

More cruze time to eat

I liked the way she presents this class already. No need to change.

Probably nothing. This was one of the few classes i was comletely satisfied with the teaching methods and material that was covered.

I think she had a very good variety of different things going that kept the class participating and I wouldn't change anything.

if there was one thing i wish was changed is knowing the lecture of the chapter before the quizes. i noticed it was hard to know what's on the quiz just based on reading the material.

I would not improve it, it was a good class she should keep it just like like how it is now.

more outdoor instruction, more eco-potlucks, more group activities.

I feel that the quizzes should be after the lectures about the quiz content instead of the lecture being given after the quiz of that same content. I would've loved more field trips for the lecture class at least outside of the classroom and not having a break instead of having a break and staying in the classroom all day.

I enjoyed this class I have learn a lot and this class has open my eyes and mind to what is around us. I would like to change the times we meet I think we should meet at least two time a week. But overall I had fun and I have learned a lot.

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?

good shes a good teacher

She has to motivation and she believes in what she teaches. She keeps things interesting and it holds my attention.

they worked well and i found them to be effective

The teaching methods was very awesome we had a lot of hands on experience, and also where we got to get out of class and see how everything operates all together.

very good

I really enjpyed this class I felt that the work load was fair

I liked how she was creative in taking us on excursions and having a Eco-potluck to help everyone understand the food portion of the class. She uses a lot of stories and pictures that help students understand and visualize the topic.

I like the teacher's teaching methods and they were very knowledgeable in that field to where I could learn easily and understand about the subject.

all good

I liked the way she teaches this course.

Very good, clear, and easy to listen to and understand.

Very well thought out.

I actually really enjoyed the teacher & her teaching methods. her teaching style was most appropriate for me to understand & relate to the subject. It's to the point that i registered for another one of her classes next semester because i really like her teaching style.

Good but sometimes kind of off the wall but it was all good.

enthusiastic and caring about the subject. tries to put it into understandable terms. lots of helpful knowledge and information

I really love the fact that the instructor knew the subject well and knew current events that are relevant to the subject matter - direct and indirect.

The teacher was great very easy to talk to, she helps out a lot to make sure we understand.

good

21. Has he/she contributed to your general knowledge or to learning job skills?

yes she a good teacher

She made my learning fun and kept me interested.

yes

Yes she has, and she is excellent with it.

yes

Yes, very much so! This class is everything and more that I wanted in Science. I've learned so much about our planet and our island as a whole. It really excited me and I enjoyed this class a lot! I recommended this class and this professor to other people already.

yes

Yes, she has.

Absolutley, with such an important topic in today's world, I learned more than i expected, having taken similar classes prior to this one.

She has made me aware of many things that I am interested in.

Absolutely!! science has always been a hard subject for me to grasp but she made it really fun and hands on for me to learn and be interested in the subject. I really learned a lot in this class.

Yes she did.

yes!

Yes, her passion about the subject is constantly presented as she is teaching

She has help me get a great general knowledge of things around us. I like when we put the text book into really life around us.

yes

AWESOME CLASS!!

Wish she taught more clases, thank you

Maybe some things that could be changed is to have the assignments clearly provided. Sometimes there were some confusion on what was due, when it was due, and sometimes papers were missed because we weren't aware we had to write one (ex: the volcano paper). There were sometimes that I had questions and had my hand up, but I guess you didn't see me or you were too busy to look up. One recommendation for the presentation portion would to have it in the computer room with the updated computer and huge projector. I had a great time in this class and I'm sad this semester is coming to an end. I have learned so much and I am now looking at my own life to see what I can do to help the planet and my community. There are a lot of things I didn't know before this class, and now I'm able to teach my family what I learned, such as recycling, overfishing, biodiversity, etc.

I hate lab reports but it's all good.

I liked this class a lot.

I would make the homework more challenging and give out quiz and test every week.

no comment

niothing

i would add more fieldtrips because they were healthy

nothing

i wouldn't make presentations! just turn in projects!

nothing.

20. What do you think of the teacher and his/her teaching methods?
