"Champ 101 gets way too much hate"

"no more icebreakers please"

"It was boring, and it didn’t serve a purpose."

"Could be functional if champ 101 was a shorter class."

"Classes were to long, and it lasted to long."

"I wish the class happened only a couple times a month. It would have been less redundant. In fact, my instructors cancelled Friday classes after like Week 4. They deemed it was unnecessary. Everything could be covered in one class period a week."

"a mix of all of those things, but mostly doing these things"

"Slideshows and then class/group discussions that were effective most of the time. The group discussions were best though."

"Slideshows; it wasn’t that effective."

"It was presented in an engaging way, but there was too little content for the whole class."

"We played icebreakers"

"Slideshows and nearpods. Both where effective. Nearpods where more fun."

"Slideshows - it was pretty effective about communicating the information."

"the dumb icebreakers and lessons designed for homesick kids"

"So many icebreakers"

"Poor timing made things difficult to explain"

"I really don't feel like I needed to know about the W curve for first-year students, it made me feel stressed out because I felt like I was doing fine, and then was told that feeling like I was doing well then meant that I would struggle a lot in the future."

"Nothing really. Maybe conflict and stress relief were a little unnecessary but I didn't mind."

"There wasn't anything that I was against, but topics that were covered in orientation didn't seem useful to cover again, at least for me."

"I mean, the class as a whole is redundant, so pretty much everything"

"Again, unsure. I found a lot of it to be useful."

"How finals week was scheduled and structured."

"Canvas and time management should have been in the first 2 weeks."

"Canvas and registration"

"I wish they had covered Canvas, mine actually never covered that even though we were supposed to."

"if they had done canvas week one that would’ve been nice"

"I feel like I was set after orientation but more on resources at the beginning would have been helpful."

"The early stages of the curriculum were well covered and had some valuable information for incoming students, but after a few classes we quickly ran out of things to do."

"Things in Burlington and not just on campus."

"They were nice and there advice and experience at Champlain was helpful."

"They were v chill, cool person."

"They where an education major so she helped teach/lead a majority of the class with assistance and guidance from the Professor. The professor and her also just had a really good vibe together and where friendly."

"Same as with the instructor really, I had no problems with them, but there wasn't anything that would make me really eager to have them again."

"They were pretty sick, tried to keep the class engaged along with the teacher; the curriculum made it difficult to keep everyone's focus. Both leader and teacher put in sizeable effort to encourage student engagement."

"Because they made us feel comfortable and shared our classes sense of humor."

"She’s cool! She asks important questions about the curriculum when no one else will."

"They also weren't very consistent on when they were and were not there."

"Not a lot. I think they would be a good teacher in general, but when it came to Champ 101 it was not the greatest experience."

"They were very helpful in some topics (ex: class scheduling), other topics they didn't know much about."

"My instructor was super nice and very insightful on any questions that i had about college
She runs the insight program so it was really nice having her there to help with any insight goals."

"They worked in Registration. I have gone for to their office for help with class registration. I would feel comfortable doing it again. However, I would not take another class with them. They were more of a mentor (that you could talk to) than a professor (leading a lesson)."

"I honestly don’t have an opinion. The class is boring but my teacher isn’t, therefore I’m kinda torn between the two."

"Instructor took Champ 101 very seriously; had us playing kids games most of the time, were not allowed to leave until entire period was over. 2/10."

I gathered written responses from students about their professors! Here's what they said...

# data[].attributes.body
While the instructors and student leaders were fairly engaging, the fact that the class content wasn't poses a problem : if you get Bill Nye the Science Guy to talk about taxes to a room full of people, they're still all going to zone out and fall asleep, even though Bill Nye is one of the most entertaining people out there.

# data[].attributes.body
I wanted to toss in some questions about the class material and feelings overall. While the instructor and student leaders are definitely important, if the class is generally disliked, there has to be a deeper reason besides just the instructors, since they're different from class to class : the curriculum must be the root of this general disdain.

# data[].attributes.body
Cafeteria comfort is not high here. While everyone would recognize their student leader, only about 1/4 of responders would be comfortable approaching and saying hello to them. This backfires immensely on what Champ 101 was trying to achieve with the student leaders - not many people feel comfortable enough with them to ask them questions about college, especially if they feel like they can't say hi to them in the cafeteria.

# data[].attributes.body
The student leader engagement graph shows a drop in how engaging they are compared to the teacher. I find this kind of strange - normally, it would go as the person who can more easily relate to the class is more engaging, but in this case that certainly didn't happen.

# data[].attributes.body
While the majority of students (~62%) liked their student leader, out of the remaining ~38%, ~23% didn't know enough to say if they liked them or not. This speaks to the next question, where there's a notable difference in the amount of engagement the student leader has with the class. This likely influenced student opinions on their student leaders.

# data[].attributes.body
Unfortunately, there is no way for me to find out how many student leaders there were, as they are not listed on Self Service. I assume somewhere between 7-13 student leaders assisted in the teaching of these classes.

# data[].attributes.body
Overall, it's very interesting that the response to seeing a teacher in the cafeteria is about 46% to say hello. That's just a testament to how comfortable these teachers made their students in class :>

# data[].attributes.body
It's interesting, too, that the students found the instructors themselves to be so engaging! When asking about the class, you usually receive negative responses in terms of engagement, but overall that seems to be due to the course content presented.

# data[].attributes.body
As such, I think it's a fantastic thing that ~62% of responders liked their instructors! The next largest percent was ~31%, with people feeling mostly indifferent to their instructors. Nobody hated their teachers, which is amazing :>

# data[].attributes.body
This means that roughly a total of 7 instructors taught these sections(Self Service referenced - teachers were not listed for all sections).

How Champ 101 Relates to Democratic Education

# data[].attributes.body
Democratic Education is about the accessibility of education to everyone regardless of race or financial status. On paper, Champ 101 was an attempt to make Champlain more accessible to students, allowing for completely equal access to information that every student should have. In practice, it simply frustrated those who knew the info, and confused those who didn't.
