6. Which aspects of the course were most valuable?
|
| Examples. Examples are key. Could have used more learning with vocabulary and terms though. Quizzes every other week were good. |
| problem sets, review, quizzes |
| the problem sets helped alot with learning and understanding the material. |
| na |
| problem sets! |
| Going over problems in the class. |
| The problem sets helped alot and the review sessions for the problems sets. |
| The practice problems on the problem set and going over the problems in class. |
| Having the material covered in class available online was instrumental in my learning the material in this class. |
| learning about probability and odds. i now understand a lot of things about gambling and stuff |
| Understanding how numbers relate, in statistical terms. |
| I can apply the material into real life. |
| The problem sets were very helpful in that they provided concrete examples of the material being covered in class. The clear powerpoints were also very useful. |
| the problem set solving help a great deal |
| All of the explanations of the equations and their uses were very helpful. |
| The lectures and problem sets were very helpful in learning the key concepts of the course and preparing for quizzes and the final exam. |
| The lectures were very well structured and the problem sets furthered my understanding of the subject. |
| online pp and practice sets. |
| Everything was valuable, statistics is an important subject to learn. I appreciate that the instructor
went over more difficult concepts that extended beyond the scope of our class. Professor Halliday
is not the most funny guy, but he is definitely one of the better teachers I've taken any classes from. |
| The problem sets. |
| everything |
| The examples given during the lectures made the material applicable. |
| A lot of the key concepts discussed were valuable. |
| It fulfilled the requirement for my major. |
| Information on comparing test data to what could be expected within the whole society. |
|
|
7. Which aspects of the course were least valuable?
|
| Quizzes should have been more difficult and not straight off the problem sets. Honestly, it would have been very easy to cheat by putting the answers in your calculator, since the answers were all on a cover sheet. |
| lectures, teacher expects student to know what symbols and terms mean |
| it was all valuable |
| na |
| . |
| The textbook. |
| Every aspect of this class was valuable. Tim did a great job! |
| im not to sure |
| It was a little slow paced. |
| Nothing |
| Professor Halliday spent a great deal of time going over simple concepts time and time again, until any student in his class who had a clue about the material would have wanted to scream in frustration. He would also regularly ask if there were any questions, and then spend three minutes slowly looking around the classroom and wasting our time. Ironically, when there was the rare question, he often missed the person, which illustrates just how pointless those long periods of looking around were. |
| Professor Haliday didn't explain how each concept was really used and so each new formula or concept we learned just seemed like a floating piece of information and I had no perspective on how to use it. The only reason I was able to pass this class is because a friend of mine was able to explain the formulas and proofs much more clearly than the professor. |
| -none- |
| TA teaching the class. (only happened once). |
| the class was unclear and extreamly difficult to get help in. |
| Nothing |
| The TA. Hard to understand her. |
| nothing |
| Sometimes reviewing the lecture at the beginning of class every time was redundant. Maybe if different problems were used it would be more useful. |
| Some details that were covered were unecessary. |
| Teaching methods need to be adujsted to better meet the satisfation of the students so they may benefit for it. |
| Pretty much all aspects were useful. |
