8. Which aspects of the course were most valuable?

Improving my writing ability while learning new skills for physiology.

all of the labs helped to provide me with opportunities to practice what i had learned in lecture

I learned a lot from this class...on my own. i had no help whatsoever from the t.a. which was Alex not Kara. I did a lot of research on many different types of testing and i found out that I am able to achieve knowledge on my own if I just set my mind to it and that I do not need to rely on teachers for the information.

9. Which aspects of the course were least valuable?

n/a

I do not like the fact that Kara was not teaching. It was Alex Rhinehart. I absolutely learned nothing from him. He never answers our questions and he always tells us to look it up ourselves. He is a teacher for a reason, and it is to help us students learn. If we wanted to always look things up we would not be in class! It was a really pain to always hear the same response if we didn't know the answer to a question.

28. Other comments:

Thanks for everything Kara! Have a good summer

kara was really helpful and did all she could to improve our lab's writing of lab reports. she made herself available to students, and was very flexible.

n/a

I felt that Alex should not have even been in the class. I could read the book and do all the tests on my own.
