What do you like most about lecture? (2:30pm)
The power point presentations and how they help show the steps in the problems
It’s nice that it isn’t too formal reminding of upcoming homework is good, halftime helps sometimes. You’re funny! Corny, but that’s okay, demonstrations are good
Demos
Definitely the jokes
Corny jokes…the drier it is, the better we can choke on them

The organized presentation of material
I like the atmosphere, which is fun and not boring
The light atmosphere

It not just a presentation of the slides

The half time, everyday when I walk through those lecture hall doors, my face lights up, for I know there will be a half time filled with the corny jokes of Prof. Pitts
The learning
The demos
I like the demos a lot; I think it helps to visualize things
Demos are good. Power point presentation style is good
The acts-working working out problems
The demonstrations reinforce the sometimes abstract concepts of physics. The lecture notes make it easier to follow the lecture and make it more interesting because we don’t have to write for the entire hour. Also, offer quick yet helpful applications of the lecture material.
Preprinted slides (i.e. lecture notes)
