How can the instructor improve this course? (2:30pm section)
The pace of the course is extremely fast
No more "ok" just kidding, more use of blackboard i.e. more examples
I’d say it’s pretty good
Corny jokes
More demos and acts
Do more example problem that may be like questions on tests
The homework and quiz. I took last week had some problems that I don’t believe we were fully instructed on how to approach
Perhaps provide more thorough treatment of the concepts and problems during the course of the course also there can always be room for more demos!
Not much, it’s really good
I think there isn’t an newsgroup for physics 111 is there?
Improve discussion section
Repeat demos more thorughout lecture
Slow down jus a tad
Labs are pointless and boring
More bad jokes
More demos: blow something up…explosions are good
He does a great job in presenting the material, the material is what needs improvement
Explain the derivations of equations better
Throw example exam problems to the class
Add detailed answers to question in lecture notes book
More demos
Labs are very long and when a mistake is made there is not enough time to redo
In discussion, there should be more discussion! The instructor should teach and go through the problems with the whole class
Explain the logic of ideas more in terms of words rather than just math and equations
Offer slides as a base to lecture from rather than the lecture
Just go through more variety of problems like on the homework
Re-program power point so that you don’t have to right click to the menu so that you can access the "pen" function
Less calculating, more demos
More demos and real life situations. Less formulas and calculations
More jokes more demos
Lectures are fine provide answers to the acts in the lecture notes
Present the complex material such a centripetal acceleration in a more understandable way
Lectures are just great!
Explain things a bit slower more in detail
Play better music in the beginning; more example of concepts and perhaps work done on the chalkboard
Need more hot chicks to make physics interesting
Go a little slower
Make it slightly more interactive
Stop saying "ok" so much. Especially since he mentioned it. So now I am going to poison your mind….
More acts too. More demos which involve large machinery or shooting stuffed animals
?
Work problems similar to homework
Do more stuff related to the hard homework
More cyber Prof. due every two weeks. Lab should also be every other week like in chem 101. The instructor could wear wacky clothes or show us a current real life application of our lecture topics. Better half times (better jokes) would be great too.
Instead of two 75 minute lectures they should become 3 50 minute lectures. This course kill my schedule making it difficult to study for an extended period of time because of an awkward gap
Do more examples
The course is alright. You could professor in more demonstrations and/or acts
Less group work
The lecture end of the course is great. Discussion is not structured well
Add pictures to the discussion ?s so we actually know what is being asked
Better halftime jokes!!! Move around don’t stand in front of computer
Make homework possible
Use more formulas-(concepts are clear), but homework is hard when I don’t know how to use the numbers
Shower more (just kidding I’ve never smelled him). Have girls in bikinis in the back!
Shoot the monkey with vcm setting, more shooting monkey shooting (or just demonstrations)
Slow down
Shorter and slower
I don’t like that we don’t follow the textbook. The textbook is a little confusing
Do fire extinguisher demo every day! J
More demos
Perhaps incorporate some the textbook lesson?
Dunno, its pretty good
