https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2 what was good and bad about the second block en-us 2018-03-05 10:03:06 UTC 2026-03-09 21:21:10 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Doubleheart.png https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/237994843 (-) Grades were not given in an appropriate time 
(-) contact with the teachers was very superficial 
(-) seminars and lectures were not sufficiently teaching anything 

(+) The project was related to a real life case 
(+) the skills classes were helpful and tasks were explained in depth ]]> 2018-03-05 10:10:42 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/237994843 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238121161 Negatives: Grading took a long time. Seminars didn't make a whole lot of sense in relation to the project or anything for that matter. 

Positives: skills and tools were really helpful for project but also for future endeavours. ]]> 2018-03-05 15:08:44 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238121161 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238284001 (-) The way of teaching in the seminars, I expected something different --> more teaching, less only testing and doing exercises]]> 2018-03-05 18:52:29 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238284001 a_alexandrova https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238549043 POSITIVES: In general, the block was very motivating as it was also a competition, so we had a few goals to achieve. 
We were asked for high quality as we were working for an actual client which was great practice. 
The project coaching was extremely clear and helpful. Most times it was more clarifying that seminars and general lectures.
It was a very exciting and creative block. I am very happy with it overall.
NEGATIVES: I didn't feel the seminars achieved to depict the theory and we mostly had to rely on project hours and our own learning. 
The mock exam was way too easy unlike the actual exam. I believe the preparation should always be harder that the actual exam (or at least with the same level). 
A very, very negative thing I experienced was the exam itself. It was the first time we were doing a computer-based exam and there was NO ONE from the observers who spoke English. It was extremely frustrating and unpleasant. I don't understand why in an English course, the exam explanations would be in Dutch. It makes no sense and it made me very uncomfortable. By the end of the exam I had a technical problem which no one could help me with because they spoke no English. It turns out I figured it out but until I received my grade I wasn't sure if I didn't do something wrong which caused too much unnecessary stress.

A oral ACC meeting would be more helpful to discuss goals etc. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:16:24 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238875891 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238879316 Addition:

I totally agree with the negative exam experience ! The mock exam wasn’t a good representation of the actual exam. Furthermore, it was very distracting that we received the results for the first part right after submitting it. ]]> 2018-03-06 20:22:16 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238879316 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238881138 I agree with the negative experience with the exam observers. I asked how to submit a part of my exam, but I was not done yet. The observer had no idea, so I had to figure out myself. Another negative experience was that one of the observers hit my chair constantly, so I was more frustrated then concentrated.]]> 2018-03-06 20:25:19 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/238881138 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239075284 The seminars were quite useless at some points. Instead of reviewing theory, the exercises served more as a confusing waste of time. The teaching could've been more engaging. ]]> 2018-03-07 11:00:17 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239075284 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239076356 The mock exams are supposed to be a preview or an example of the type of questions that will be asked during the exam. 

This mock exam was way too easy for the level of difficulty we actually encountered in the exam. It had little to absolutely no comparison to the actual questions about research and ICC, and focused almost exclusively on Marketing. It also had no questions about what was covered in the lectures, which did appear consistently during the fucking exam. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]> 2018-03-07 11:04:09 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239076356 https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239077102 The meme assignment is a joke for tools class. I expected to learn photography in a serious manner, as well as photoshop in a hopefully useful way for the future. However, by making the assignment a MEME as a way of creating engagement with the students, you basically disregarded all the seriousness of the classes.

ESPECIALLY WITH A 2010 MEME. how dumb was that assignment, bye.]]> 2018-03-07 11:07:12 UTC https://padlet.com/liza_spodina/block2/wish/239077102
