Mid-semester check-in (Spring 2017) by Sue Bhuyan https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq Now that we are about halfway through the semester, let me know (1) at least one thing you like about class, (2) at least one thing you would change if you could, and (3) any feedback you have on the facilities/active learning classroom. Respond by April 4 to receive credit. Your grade is based on the participation rate of the class (70% participation=2 points; 80% participation=3 points, etc.) Remember, responses are completely anonymous. Thank you. en-us 2017-03-21 19:41:15 UTC 2022-09-07 15:52:24 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161700642 1. The big ideas is very efficient for connecting materials from last session.
2. Handouts can be better with graphics printed. Sometimes it takes too much time to draw a graph on the handout and it does not work well if the diagram is complicated.
3. Using electronic blackboard instead of writing on board (or at least write on paper and project it on the screen) can be very helpful. It is really hard to see across the classroom, especially when using blue markers. No complaints otherwise. ]]> 2017-03-22 02:50:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161700642 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161708505 1. I really like the teaching style. Students get involved and I feel like we are moving at the right pace, even if it gets complicated sometimes. It seems like you actually care about us doing well in the class and understanding the subject matter.
2. I think that we should spend one class before an exam on reviewing the relevant material. This would help many to get on the right track in terms of studying and would clarify many problems.
3. I really like the classroom, I feel like it even makes time go by faster. Specifically the microphone is a great way to get students involved. The only bad thing about it is that the Professor is never able to see the whole class.

2. I would try to make the homework less in quantity and difficulty. Often the homework is harder than we go over in class and seems very tiresome, as the grader marks some questions wrong when they are not.
3. AL is very nice, screens and white boards are helpful, group interaction is very nice and fun. ]]> 2017-03-22 05:05:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161709678 1. the teaching style of learning and then going over examples in order to better understand https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161710167 2. the online quizzes can be very difficult
3. I like the AL classroom it is very interactive]]> 2017-03-22 05:14:30 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161710167 1.I like the pace we're going at and the showing of problems being solved on the board https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161903501 2.More problems
3. It's nice]]> 2017-03-22 17:20:40 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161903501 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161920471 1. I like the teaching style and how involved everyone is in the class.
2. The online quizzes are too hard. Especially the Graphing questions are confusing. So I would get rid off them. 
3. The classroom's design is very nice. But using electronic board that can be projected on the screen rather than writing on the board would be helpful. ]]> 2017-03-22 18:00:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161920471 1. I like how active the class is because it makes harder material easier to understand especially because we are working through it together. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161946723 2. I would change the homework assignment difficult on myeconLab. It seems like the examples we do in class are so easy and when I try and do the homework on myeconLab I am always so confused.
3. The active learning classroom is nice and I feel like it helps me understand the material better. ]]> 2017-03-22 19:14:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161946723 1. I like the screens available at every corner of the room for easy presentation viewing. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161948601 2. I dislike all the online homework and myeconlab, technology makes learning harder than it should be. 
3. The class room is nice. I would like a more visible angle at the board drawing . ]]> 2017-03-22 19:21:14 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161948601 1.small groups can make us get a better understanding of the whole class and we can ask each other about the material. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161976325 2. i think the blackboard sometimes is far away from some groups and i can not see your handwriting and take notes. Maybe you should change something.
3. still the board, hard to see things sometimes and it would make me confused. I miss manything because of this. ]]> 2017-03-22 21:31:41 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161976325 marcush02 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161999869 1. I really like the way this class is taught in general. It is very hard to get an entire class involved for an economics class but you do a great job of it.
2. I wish that the one quiz we took when we did not have class was curved (or dropped if you're feeling extra generous. It was much harder than the average quizzes and the homework. Most people I talked to did not do well on it and it decided an uncomfortably large portion of my grade
3. The AL classroom is awesome! I wish all my classes were like this.]]> 2017-03-23 01:08:07 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/161999869 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162240221 1) I really like the teaching style and the way the professor tries to make everything clear. I enjoy the way we can download the powerpoints to look over things again. 
2) I don't like working in groups. I do realize it's a part of the class structure, but it honestly makes me anxious to have to talk in the groups every class. 
3) The classroom is really cool! I love all the screens. ]]> 2017-03-23 18:31:09 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162240221 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162274076 1.)I like how the class is very interactive and encourages you to pay attention,
2.) I think you should go more detailed in class because sometimes when I am doing the homework I have to look in the textbook
3.) The classroom is very nice, but sometimes it's hard to see the whiteboard ]]> 2017-03-23 20:55:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162274076 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162398687 (1): The ‘Big Idea’ activity at the beginning of each class is a helpful review of the material from the previous class meeting. 

(2): Written homework would be preferable to online homework. If online homework is necessary, more attempts per question would be better. To be blunt, though, most of the ‘My(Insert Subject Here)Lab’ and ‘Mastering(Insert Subject Here)’ are awful products. Many of the textbooks that Pearson publishes are awful, too. This, though, is Pearson’s problem, and not the instructors fault at all. I should not lose a massive amount of points over not rounding an answer or simply forgetting a minus sign. That’s not to say these things are not important, though. Ditto what other students have said about the difficulty of the homework/quiz problems vs. the difficulty of the in-class problems.

(3): The active learning classroom, overall, is fine. I do not like the lighting in these classrooms at all, though. It’s also a little inconvenient to have to frequently turn my head to view the center of the room (toward the instructor’s station in the middle). These complaints are relatively petty, though. I’d prefer this setup to a traditional lecture hall any day of the week.
]]> 2017-03-24 13:16:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162398687 1. I like going through the slides and then having them as a resource to study from. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162517933 2. The homework and quizzes on pearson are difficult for me, I wish they were easier or that we explained them in class.
3. I like the classroom. I think it is a good learning environment.]]> 2017-03-24 20:08:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162517933 1.) I enjoy the fact that this class is the one that usually goes by the quickest, due to the interactive learning and problem solving during class time. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162583643 2.) One thing I would change is making everyone speak at least once during the semester. Seems to me that the same people (myself included) every Tuesday and Thursday are the people to speak up and answer questions during class. 

3.) I think the interactive classroom is the best classroom I have ever been a part of. I love the televisions and the catch box.]]> 2017-03-25 20:30:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162583643 Ok https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162584593 (1) The powerpoint slides and worksheets in class are very detailed, structured sources of course content.
(2) The pedagogy style seems to suffer from a disproportionate emphasis on content that is easily graspable without as much follow-through to the applicable problems.
(3) Classroom is nice

]]> 2017-03-25 20:53:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162584593 1. To start the class with BIG IDEAS is what I really like this class, it helps me to remember better of those stuffs covered on the last class. 2. I strongly recommend to use more time to doing practice questions, this helps us to understand those equations and graphs better!!! https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162685382 3. I wish professor can write down the explain of in-class questions on the computer instead of writing it on the board, I sometimes cannot see it clearly. ]]> 2017-03-27 02:28:42 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162685382 Mid Semester Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162890591 1) What I like about the class is the interactiveness of being in groups and answering questions with the mic box, it motivates the learning more.
2) A good amount of the homework is not really covered in class and thus seems like time focused elsewhere than the material needed to know. I wish there was more explanation/practice on the slides.
3) The classroom set up and technology is great for the class subject.]]> 2017-03-27 16:58:32 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162890591 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162896141 1) I like being surrounded by TVs that all have the notes; it is easier to read
2) Some of the materials for the homework doesn't seem to be reviewed in class
3)I definitely like the classroom. Between the TVs and the microphone box that is passed around, I am always aware of whats going on in class. ]]> 2017-03-27 17:13:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162896141 1.) One thing I like the most about the class is we are surround by TVs, so no matter where you sit you don't have to spin or move to look at PPTs, and professor Sue always write things down on both side or the board. zj53 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162963826 2.）one thing I would like to change is maybe posting some sample questions and solutions for complex concepts such as solving for CV and EV, or give us a link containing samples 
3.) the class really encourages students to talk with that catch box, if there is one thing can encourage student to be more participated in the class: ask differnet 2-3 people to form a group and talk about 3 big ideas about last class at beginning of each class]]> 2017-03-27 21:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162963826 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162978945 1. the best part about this class is how interactive it is. Students really get to be involved in the material covered by actively participating in class.
2. I think we should cover more problems rather than just look at graphs and stats.
3. I think the room and the AB is exemplary of current learning environments and just being in there helps learning more.]]> 2017-03-27 23:59:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/162978945 1. One thing I like about our class is how we start with the Big Ideas. These serve as an excellent reminder of the material from the previous class. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163276166 2. One thing I would change is reliance on MyEconLab because many of the homeworks can be extremely frustrating. It's not even that the content is particularly difficult, but more that the online setup does not give you any direction if you're wrong. Sometimes I draw a graph that is pretty much perfect but the application tells me I'm wrong.
3. The classroom is awesome and perfect for the subject.  I love not having to turn around with all the monitors set up.]]> 2017-03-28 22:19:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163276166 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163588942 1. what i like about this class is that it is very interesting and the topics ranged the transit from technical to theoretical. Fun and interesting 

2. I like the class the way it is. I focus better, I would change " no technology rule" , my handwriting is the worst.

3. I like the interactive  "big idea" moments in the beginning of class, it reminds me everything from last class and helps me remember. ]]> 2017-03-30 02:26:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163588942 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163810033 1) I like that in class we are very interactive with the entirety of the group and can communicate with others.
2) I wish we could use our laptops. I understand the cell phone policy, but I use my laptop to go over topics while the lecture is taking place. Last semester in intro to micro I would take practice quizzes during the lecture which helped me a lot personally. I think we all have our own ways of learning material and denying opportunities for some people which fits their strengths is far worse than catching one student on a site that is not myeconlab or their notes. Additionally, laptops in my opinion don't cause students to not pay attention, it just gives them something to do when they are not paying attention. Laptops give the appearance of students not working, because it is easier to identify. This doesn't mean that it causes students to not pay attention however.
3) The classroom facilities are really amazing and the lecture hall is the most unique classroom I've ever been in. The slideshows on all the tv monitors and whiteboards on the walls makes learning more engaging. The table setup I like as well, because you communicate with a group and that is always helpful. My only complaint is this classroom has more potential. If we all were able to use our laptops the groups could communicate and get work done even more efficiently. 

]]> 2017-03-30 19:07:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163810033 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163833472 1) I like the interactive examples and solving them together
2) I would change the MEL to be more relevant to class examples, sometimes the questions are very far from what we did in class
3) Class moves at a good pace, and the examples help to reinforce the ideas]]> 2017-03-30 21:07:56 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163833472 1. The way we cover material in class allows for a good foundation for what we need to expand on https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163847713
2. Rather than learning through graphs and slides, I feel we should use more applications and problems. 

3. The classroom environment allows me to focus better than having to sit in a traditional lecture hall.]]> 2017-03-30 23:20:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/163847713 1. That we collaborate in small groups https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164377418 2. The homework is not relevant/efficient practice for class exams. MEL quizzes however are very helpful.
3. No complaints here!]]> 2017-04-03 15:32:53 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164377418 1. I like how interactive the class is and how we work in our groups to figure out problems. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164450059 2. The homework is sometimes on material that was not covered/gone over in class.
3. I really like the active learning classroom, as it allows the class to be interactive and more interesting.]]> 2017-04-03 18:54:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164450059 Mid-semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164497524 1) I like the fact that we're in groups and are able to work with each other, as well as the layout of the room with a lot of TV's.
2) The MEL homework sometimes is a lot more difficult than what is gone over during class. 
3) The layout of the classroom is a lot better than a typical lecture hall and keeps me engaged and allows everyone to easily ask questions and see the presentations.]]> 2017-04-04 00:10:04 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164497524 Mid-semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164500209 1) I like how the class is set up into groups. It pressures you to keep up with the material and a hands on with the problems. 
2) I wouldn't change much about the course. I think its setup very well, but if i had to change something it would be to get rid of the quizzes.
3) The layout of the classroom is a lot better for learning than a traditional classroom. Everywhere you look there is a monitor which keeps me paying attention to the material.

]]> 2017-04-04 00:39:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164500209 Mid Semester Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164510626 1)I like how the class is put into groups.It makes the class more enjoyable and its easier to learn when you have peers that you can discuss problems with.
2) MEL can be so frustrating at times.It sometimes gives me issues with my answers, which leads to a lower HW score for me.
3) I know you hate cell phones, I understand that it is rude. And I know how frustrating it is when students do not abide by this simple rule, but I cringe every time you pause class to tell somebody to stop using their cellphones.If there is somehow a more effective way of handling this situation please do it. ]]> 2017-04-04 02:33:11 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164510626 Mid semester check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164543586 1. I like the fact that the slides really break down what we need to know, because the textbook can sometimes be confusing. I also like the fact that we work in groups.
2.  I do not think you should call out students for using their cellphones. It pauses class time and sometimes we miss out and learning. If a student chooses to use his/her cell phone that is a choice they made to distract themselves. Don't let the whole class suffer.
3. I like that we talk about the big ideas at the beginning of class. It gets everyone talking and reminds everyone of the topics we covered in the last class which helps us remember it. 

]]> 2017-04-04 08:04:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164543586 1) So far I am a fan of the group setup that we have in the class, it helps when you are having difficulty on a topic. 2)I would change the problems bring written on the board nd also. I wish there was more online participation. 3)I don't have any complaints with the room https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164762822 2017-04-05 00:42:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164762822 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164765739 1. I really like the group work
2. The exams and hw are pretty different, I wish we had more consistent practice.
3. I like the room setup and tvs]]> 2017-04-05 01:14:02 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164765739 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164767003 1) I like the table setup so that whenever you have a difficulty understanding something you can just ask a neighbor. 2) If you could provide more specific study material and review guides for exams with some practice problems that would be great. 3) Great classroom setting

3)I find my econlab to be bo
ring and reptitive  quizes are not really helpful for learning the material.]]> 2017-04-05 01:32:49 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164767443 Mid Sem. Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164767470 1). One thing i enjoy about the class is the way it is run. It is interactive and entertaining enough to keep me interested the entire time. 2). If i could change one thing it would be more practice problems. It would be nice to have extra examples of problems we did in class posted so we can have more practice. 3). Classroom has a great atmosphere, no changes needed.

2) I would like to have more practice problems. It would be helpful in preparation for the exams.
3) love the classroom set up. I do not have any complaints.]]> 2017-04-05 01:59:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164769571 Mid semester check in mannybatista95 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164775709 1) i enjoy the fact that the class causues a lot of discussion and class interaction.
2)If i could change one thing, it would be that the MEL homework is quite complicated.
3)the facilities are great as well as the TV screens


]]> 2017-04-05 03:19:25 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164775709 Mid semester check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164776888 1) When a difficult concept comes up we take our time to fully understand each little bit of it. 
2) Make the homework match the type of questions found on the exam so we know what to expect.
3) each table having their own TV is nice.]]> 2017-04-05 03:37:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164776888 Mid Semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164778488 1) Using examples to explain the meaning behind formulas is really helpful in understanding them as more than just equations to be solved.
2) The practice problems we do tend to be really straightforward and/or have numbers that make for easy calculations, which is much more idealized than the real-world situations that they are meant to replicate. They also don't go as in-depth as the homework does, which is arguably more helpful in understanding the concepts.
3) Classroom setup is engaging with the TV screens all around in order to see the slides better; group setting is more relaxed and encourages collaboration.

]]> 2017-04-05 04:03:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164778488 Mid-Semester Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164781553 1) I like the class in its emphasis on the mathematics of microeconomics
2) If I could change one thing, I would change the emphasis on MEL for homework since it is very unwieldy and poses problems with graph questions. I also would like this class to have a little bit more emphasis on the derivations of various mathematical properties (instead of the way we are given formulae in some cases for things like demand derivation, expenditure, et cetera)
3) I like the active learning classroom, but I don't like my seat facing away from the center of the class (it is a minor problem)

]]> 2017-04-05 04:38:03 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164781553 Mid-semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164781949 1. I like that the class is smaller and more interactive compared to other classes I have. It's good to have a solid relationship between the professor and students.

2. The big idea takes up too much class time in the beginning, and if there was more focus on current material it would be better

3. The facility is fine the way it is.]]> 2017-04-05 04:45:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164781949 Mid Semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164795241 1. Professor you do a good job of moving around and using your cube to get everybody involved. Despite the room's cavernous feel, you make the experience intimate and comfortable. 

2. I would like to see the class a little more towards discussions as opposed to back and forth questions.

3. Facility is fine.  ]]> 2017-04-05 07:10:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164795241 1. I enjoy the format in which class is presented. The discussion style helps keep the material interesting. https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164955795 2. I think that MEL problem sets need to mirror class and test material better. 
3. I think the classroom helps enrich the experience.]]> 2017-04-05 17:32:08 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/164955795 Mid Semester Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165000944 1) One thing I really like about the class is how it is structured. The physical layout of the class really helps because you are in a group with the power point slides all around the room. I think it really helps me focus on the new material presented in class compared to a traditional classroom.  Also, if you become close with your group it becomes easy to make a study group for exams and other materials.
2) I think more multiple choice questions like the ones on the exam should be on MEL. I have a harder time on the multiple choice part on the exams than the open ended portions. 
3) All in all, I really enjoy the classroom set up and the way the material is presented. ]]> 2017-04-05 20:25:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165000944 Mid-Semester Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165009502 1) I enjoy the material the being covered and how it is being covered.
2) Possibly focus on doing more examples in class instead of activities such as Big Idea.
3) The classroom is very good, great space and gives good opportunity to work with others.

I love the interactive aspect of the class and how each topic is followed with several examples. You make the time go very fast and the material enjoyable to learn. 
2. The MEL homework is really difficult and temperamental. I would do immensely better on the hw assignments if we were allowed more than just two attempts for each question. (Homework should be for better understanding and practice?) 
3. I love that we have groups. It makes the environment much friendlier and it enables us to work together to better understand the material. 

I really enjoy this class and I think you're an excellent professor.

2) I feel that MEL is quite complicated and does not help me better understand the material for the multiple choice questions on the test. If there was someway to get us better prepared for the multiple choice questions that would be really helpful
3)  I like how you fully utilize the active learning classroom by using a microphone and the projector thing to do examples by hand on the monitors. It took some time to get use to it but I now prefer the active learning classroom compared to a regular lecture hall, it feels more engaging and helps me pay attention. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:02:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165020585 Mid-Semester check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165021282
(1) The class itself is fairly entertaining even if I wasn't necessarily as prepared for the class time as I thought.
(2)The online homework and quiz program is ridiculously temperamental. The fact that I'm limited to two attempts when it will count my answer as incorrect and then simply show me the same answer in a different format is extremely frustrating.
(3) The classroom is very nice. The chairs are comfortable, the multiple TV screens allow everyone to clearly see powerpoints, and the room feels very open.

I enjoy how engaging and personal the class is and how we go through multiple out-of-book examples to further our understanding of the subject.
2. The MEL system isn't the easiest to navigate, while also having difficult homework problems that don't follow what we had learned in class. 
3.The classroom itself in the Academic Building is phenomenal, and we get to use it to its fullest potential. If only all Rutgers classes were in such an environment. ]]> 2017-04-06 00:47:37 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165024396 Mid-Semester Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165024506 1. I like the real world examples because they really help me remember and understand concepts better
2. I think that we should do more examples in class using real numbers
3. I really like the classroom, it is very useful to have screens all around so that you can sit comfortably and take notes]]> 2017-04-06 00:48:51 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165024506 Mid-Semester Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165025580 1. I love how the class looks back at what we covered last class and helps me catch up.
2. I love the classroom environment.
3.MEL system isn't the best system used to finish homework.

2. I think homework is much more difficult than quiz. It would be better if there are more homework examples in class or in the ppt. 
3. Facilities are good. ]]> 2017-04-06 01:04:44 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165025921 med-semester check in yz493 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/d1jaiis52sgq/wish/165032121 1.i like group work
