Midterm questionnaire
Thanks to fill out the traditional midterm questionnaire.
Still not everybody knows about
problem sessions
and
MQC.
Here are a few comments:
Comment on Exam:
- Fair.
- I don't like exams.
- Exam practice exams super helpful.
- Slightly harder than the practice exams
- The picture matching problem was punitive.
- The arc tan question was hard.
- The rooms were quite crowded
- Too easy.
We currently try to get an other room but it does
not look good. Midterm times are difficult. It is in the nature
of things to have exams either Tuesday, Wednesday or Thursday.
Comments on Homework and Problem sessions
- Homework is just ok. (overhelming majority)
- What is a problem session?
- Some HW problems are too "wild".
Make sure to advertise more problem sessions and move some
CAs to the MQC. About the HW. They are in general different
type of problems than exams: they can occasionally be more
computational, have relations with other subjects or require technology
or discussion with others.
Comments on the exam reviews and practice tests
- Exam review was informative and super eneteraining.
- Exam review was rushed.
- practice tests were incredibly helpful.
- Too much Miley and not enough math!
- Why are there so many practice tests? It is helpful although.
More math, less Miley at the next review!
"Do you use a textbook"?
- No,
- yes.
- Use it occasionally.
Comments about the MQC?"
- MQC has good atmosphere.
- MQC can be too crowded.
- Do you use the MQC? "I will now"
- Go rarely. Find it stressful.
We try to add more staff to the MQC.
