https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g What you like about lessons? What you'd like more of? (Eg: teaching style, more past questions, anything) en-us 2016-09-05 06:04:42 UTC 2021-10-13 06:25:41 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995346 I really enjoy how the lessons are structured and maybe we can do more past paper questions to get a good grasp on the IB style questions. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:51:09 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995346 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995671 I like the teaching style of the lessons and the booklets to write notes in for every subtopic. Something I'd like more of is past questions that are sub topic specific.  ]]> 2021-10-13 05:51:22 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995671 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995713 I really like that we get past paper questions throughout the lesson because it helps with consolidating what we're learning as we go through it and help apply the knowledge we have learnt to exam style questions. 
It would be nice to have some more interactive lessons, possibly more group work or making posters/models like we did with the fluid mosaic model]]> 2021-10-13 05:51:24 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995713 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995895 I like the exam questions we do after lessons because I believe it makes us more prepared for the IB course and introduces us to the different types of mark schemes and keywords the examiners are looking for.
I would like to do more group work as it allows us to work with different approaches and different learning styles which could be very beneficial.]]> 2021-10-13 05:51:32 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812995895 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812997542 I appreciate that we practice IB questions after completing a subtopic in class. It helps to know how we need to study for the exam and what to expect. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:52:32 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1812997542 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000207 I really like how informative the powerpoint presentations are for when we are being taught, I also like the exam question booklets as they're not only great when in lessons but also out when revising. It would be nice to have more of the following:
-Access to online assignments like Seneca or quizlet. 
-Textbooks would also help when it comes to revision sources. 
-More time to take notes down during class. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:54:11 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000207 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000348 I found the first unit of ib biology very  interesting and detailed, I really enjoyed this topic. 
Other topics that I am interested in are ecology and human physiology.
I really like the way the classes are structured and I find the booklets that are handed in very useful but for the other units I would like to have more access to past papers.   ]]> 2021-10-13 05:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000348 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000952 Maybe some more exam style questions given as homework for instance maybe some more practice on the big marked style questions. But honestly in terms of the structure of the lesson I love it, because it makes sure that everyone is paying attention when getting quizzed, makes the lesson more fun and somewhat stressful in a good way when your name gets picked on class dojo.]]> 2021-10-13 05:54:39 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813000952 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813002008 I like the PowerPoints as they contain appropriate diagrams which I can always add to my own notes by screenshotting them. It would be nice to have assignments or questions we answer in an online format such as the ones we had on educake last year as I found that doing short questions in a large volume helped me understand the knowledge through repetition.]]> 2021-10-13 05:55:18 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813002008 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813002598 The note booklets I like since they contain structure and are directly linked to the syllabus. Past paper booklets in-between sub-topics keeps the knowledge fresh and you can see if you have any areas that need improvement. More hands-on work and practicals would be a nice addition. Overall, Biology is a fantastic subject. Thank you ]]> 2021-10-13 05:55:42 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813002598 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813003230 I like using class dojo as it makes ensures everyone pays attention and it also makes the lessons more interactive and interesting, as everyone shares their ideas. I like the fact that we are given booklets for every topic because it helps us remember what we learn about, but I would like to be given more past paper questions so that we can fully write down what we know and be more prepared for exams. I would also like to do more group projects as it would change from the usual lessons, and therefore help us grasp the topic better. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:56:06 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813003230 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813003551 I really enjoy the content that we are learning and how we are going into more detail, because, even though it is harder than GCSE, it makes it more interesting.
It is also good how you ask us questions constantly as it allows us to stay focused and aids active recall.
I think it would be better if we did more exam and practice questions as the IB mark schemes are quite different to GCSE, so it will help us improve our exam technique and become more familiar with the mark schemes.
I think it would also be good if we had a short allocated time at the end of the lesson to go over anything that we might have covered too quickly or that is not 100% clear.

The exam questions we do at the end of each sub-unit are incredibly useful as they help solidify the learning. I found this unit to be a good intro to IB biology and I specifically enjoyed learning about the cell cycle in 1.6 because it furthered my previous understanding from IGCSE. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:56:33 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813004041 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813008330 I think the teaching style with the past paper questions after each topic is very helpful because it helps to apply the knowledge through the exam questions. 
In addition, it would be nice if we could have some small tests after each topic, to help us get more familiar with the IB questions and prepare us better for each unit exam. Also, it would be nice if we could do more group activities. ]]> 2021-10-13 05:59:00 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813008330 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813026998 I really like the lessons and how informative the powerpoints are, I also really like the booklets for each subunit because they are really helpful when revising and knowing what is in each subtopic. During the lessons, I would like more time to take notes and also maybe more past paper questions during the lessons to consolidate learning.]]> 2021-10-13 06:09:58 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813026998 https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813029029 What I like about lessons?
I like the teaching style and the way the lessons are structured.
The class dojo questions allow everyone to prepare for an answer but also confirm everyone's understands of the question.
I really like the topic booklets as they provide a good summary and the key areas to focus on.

What I'd like more of?
More past paper questions to practice answering IB style questions. 
It confirms my understanding and prepares me for assessments in terms of how i approach questions, plan my answers and familiarize myself with the IB mark scheme
I would like more group work or more interactive lessons because it helps us visualize our understand in a way, and we could potentially learn more from each other.]]> 2021-10-13 06:11:03 UTC https://padlet.com/daniel_ohara/4s920oiquu3g/wish/1813029029
