Check-in (Spring 2018) by Sue Bhuyan https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41 Now that we are over halfway through the semester, I'd like you to let me know 4 things: (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 March 31 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 2018-03-15 02:46:36 UTC 2025-11-18 00:35:58 UTC hello@padlet.com Spring 2018 materan098 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244349458 I like class with the catch box i think its a fun way to have students answer questions. One thing I would change is I'd rather have more frequent homeworks with less questions. The classroom is great with the table setting and the televisions behind every table.]]> 2018-03-21 03:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244349458 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244816374 I like that the class prepares you well for exams by providing practice problems and going through them step by step. I also like that real-world examples are used when explaining economic concepts. One thing I would change is provide more group assignments so that there is more class interaction in lectures.]]> 2018-03-22 02:06:28 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244816374 Check in 2018 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244821119 One thing I like about the class is the fact that you provide us with in class examples to questions, and go through them step by step. This makes it easy for us to better understand the concepts since it is guided and it serves as something we can go back to and reference whenever we are working on other assignments on our own.]]> 2018-03-22 02:36:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244821119 Check in ameliarucki https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244824055 I like how the class is very interactive, I enjoy the group learning environment. If i could change anything I would do more simple practice problems like ones that could be multiple choice questions on the exam. I enjoy how the classroom is not a typical lecture hall, I feel more involved in the learning process. ]]> 2018-03-22 02:55:20 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244824055 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244824236 1. I like the examples that we do in class. It makes the course material easier to digest.
2. I would include more step by step solutions to the mathematical solutions to the concepts we've been learning.
3. I enjoy the group work, it's been a great help to work through homework and studying.

]]> 2018-03-22 02:56:27 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244824236 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244827606 1) I like how the class was broken up into tables. The smaller groups makes it easier to help each other out.
2) I would post the step by step examples we go through in class to Sakai more often
3) I think the classrooms are interesting. There can be a bit disorienting but it is a fun way to learn and the ability to show different things on the TVs is useful.

]]> 2018-03-22 03:19:26 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244827606 Check-in zhiyuanwen18 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244832544 (1) group discussion
(2) read the textbook before class
(3) more exercises and practice problems]]> 2018-03-22 03:59:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244832544 Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244840408 1) I enjoy having a group and being able to communicate with them.

2) I would like to change having to do my econ lab. Some of the questions go over methods not taught in the class.

3) I enjoy the voice box it's a good way to get the class involved.

4) I enjoy going over the chapters in depth compared to other classes that only focus on one method.]]> 2018-03-22 05:10:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244840408 Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244861097 The best thing about this class is the review questions because it lets us prepare for the homeworks. I'd prefer for there to be more frequent hw assignments but with less questions because sometimes it turns out to be a big load to complete them all, but HW 6 was a good amount. ]]> 2018-03-22 07:49:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/244861097 Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245000901 1) One thing I love about this class is the teaching style and organization. I admire the fact that it is always clear to me what I need to do, by when, and how. I love that you use the microphone cube because it actually keeps me engaged in the class despite it being at such a late time of day. 
2) One thing I would change is I would include more practice problems in class and more step-by-step solutions so that it is easier to follow how to complete the problem. Additionally, I would add in reviews on similar mathematical problems so that it is easier to determine when to use which formula.
3) I love the layout of the classroom with the screens everywhere and collaborative space. It is much easier to stay on track and pay more attention when it's not just a long lecture. ]]> 2018-03-22 14:05:59 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245000901 Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245256097 1) One thing I really like about the class is the layout of the desks and how much we interact with one another .
2) I'd like to be able to take notes on my computer seeing as that's how I take them most of the time.
2b) I wish we did more problems as a group in class.
3) The active learning classroom does a good job of keeping me engaged. I often get jittery in class and having all the screens always me to turn and move but still pay attention. ]]> 2018-03-22 21:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245256097 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245331157 1) I like the in class activities/quizzes that keep everyone engaged
2) Perhaps a practice test could be posted to help with studying for the exams
3) I like the active learning classroom as it is not boring like a normal lecture hall and I feel like I learn more!]]> 2018-03-23 06:16:55 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245331157 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245569467 1. I like the fact that we are frequently able to work in groups on practice problems in class. This enhances on my understanding of the material as I am able to draw on my classmates' knowledge.
2. I would like more practice problems to be done in class, as well as step-by-step solutions to these problems (or at least the final answers) so that we can practice more.
3. I enjoy the amount of class participation that is involved, as it helps us to stay more involved in learning the material. However, like I said in (2), I think there should be more practice problems so that we can test ourselves more often.]]> 2018-03-23 16:56:38 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245569467 Check In kpl51 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245622590 1) I like the interaction in the classroom, I feel it really helps everyone learn better and creates an amazing learning environment. 
2) I would change the time we have the class, and I'd like to be able to see my overall grade somewhere, including MEL and test/quiz scores.
3) I enjoy using the classroom much more than lecture halls because I definitely feel more engaged and less likely to fall asleep or get distracted.]]> 2018-03-23 18:34:43 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245622590 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245645761 1.) I enjoy that we can take our quizzes with our group because it's nice to have another person check your work for a graded assignment
2.) One thing i would change is that the econlab homework problems are way harder compared to the problems we do in class 
3.) It's nice how interactive the class is which allows me to fully pay attention and understand the material]]> 2018-03-23 19:32:05 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245645761 Check-In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245669990 1) I really like the class size. Since it is small, there is lots of interaction between us and the professor and also between students in the class. 
2) One thing I would change is more practice before the exam. Like even just a compilation of all the problems we do in class.
3) I like the layout of the classroom, its very open. I like how much technology is in the classroom, it makes looking at the resources very accessible. ]]> 2018-03-23 21:30:31 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245669990 Check In gaurav_x425 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245889110 1) divided groups encourages teamwork and discussion.
2) More practice problems in class would be helpful as i feel that's where the concept become really clear to me.
3) The multiple screens are very convenient in paying attention and is much more interesting that a chalk board.]]> 2018-03-25 22:02:16 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245889110 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245894441 (1) I like that we do a lot of practice problems in class to reinforce what we have learnt. This has made learning new concepts a lot easier.
(2) Not all of the notes that are in regards to working out specific questions are in the lecture slides. Ensuring we have notes on all methods used to work out problems in the lecture slides is important so we can go back and double check when we are unsure.
(3) The lecturer is very clear and makes it very easy to understand the harder concepts. I like the group work. Sometimes I do feel like it is repetitive and that the class is moving slow but otherwise it is a great learning environment.]]> 2018-03-25 22:48:45 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245894441 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245932648 1) I enjoy that we have groups in order to communicate with others for what we cannot understand. 
2) I wanna more practice test and solutions could be posted to help with reviewing for the exams.
3)I like the layout of the classroom since it can help me to pay more attention in the class. ]]> 2018-03-26 03:32:13 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245932648 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245942401 1. I really enjoy the way the lecturer explains things very thoroughly. Even though the class is a little bit larger, I really feel like there is a personal and careful attention given to each student in the way all the problem's concepts are throughouly explained. I like how we are given step by step instructions on how to do problems and then do a couple of practice problems to solidify our understanding. 
2. One thing I would change would be maybe more comprehensive review of the exams
3. The set up of the classroom really helps with discussions. I like how its almost like a 360 degree experience and how we are put in groups. ]]> 2018-03-26 04:56:17 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/245942401 Check- in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246091870 1.) I like being able to communicate with my peers in group discussions on problems assigned by the teacher to throughly understand what it is we are learning 
2.) I would like to have hw problems assigned from the professor and not myeconlab 
3.) I like the style of the classroom because its smaller and is focused on making sure everyone can see the material and be attentive ]]> 2018-03-26 14:09:47 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246091870 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246146972 1) The pace of each class isn’t too fast. Also, being able to do practice problems as a class and with our tables is very helpful in understanding the material. 
2) If I could change anything I would like to do more practice problems during class when learning a new concept.
3) I feel that the classroom is more effective than a lecture hall, and sitting in tables makes the class more engaging. The relatively small size of the class and being able to see problems worked out on the screen in real time also helps with my understanding of material. 
]]> 2018-03-26 15:41:52 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246146972 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246606760 1. I like the practice problems we do in class, they help a lot and are one of the main things I refer to when I study for exams. 
2. I think that sometimes the pace of the class drags down a bit when we are introduced to new topics. Other than that, the pace is good. 
3. I don't like the fact that the desks are circular and that we sit in groups, although I do like how it is a somewhat small classroom. ]]> 2018-03-27 17:19:23 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246606760 Check -in jonathan_zhu https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246608342 1. One thing I like about the class are the in class examples we do. Not only the ones that involve math, but the graphical ones as well really help to illustrate the concepts and are very helpful when studying for exams. 
2. One thing I would change about the class is the organization of the seating. I don't like sitting in a group of people and I don't like the circular shape of the tables. I would much rather prefer individual desks. 
3. Regarding the classroom, I do not like the circular tables and the groups we sit in. Group members around me can be very distracting. However, I do like the small nature of our classroom as I feel like I am not missing anything. ]]> 2018-03-27 17:22:35 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246608342 Check-in trm123 https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246711782 1) What I like most about this class is how we work in groups to engage on the material we learn rather than just sitting through a boring lecture. Class is very engaging and fun to attend. 
2) One thing I would change is the arrangement of chairs. I find my seat difficult to take notes in as I am constantly turning.
3) I feel that the active learning classroom is a cool experience with the information constantly surrounding me. While I wish the desks were more convenient, I do love the overall setup of the classroom with the TV's and whiteboards everywhere.

]]> 2018-03-27 22:47:39 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246711782 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246736993 1. I like that we are able to work in groups on practice problems and activities in class. This enhances on my understanding of the material as I am able to draw on my classmates' knowledge.
2. I hope we can practice more problems like some word problems as well.
3. I enjoy the amount of class participation that is involved, as it helps us to stay more involved in learning the material. ]]> 2018-03-28 01:39:34 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246736993 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246992702 1.I love my group! Group members are all friendly.
2.I would like to have more practice problems.
3.I like the way that we are sitting as groups. ]]> 2018-03-28 16:59:24 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/246992702 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247059947 1. I like how we are split into groups and doing exercises in these groups.
2. I feel that we do not need that many in class activities.
3. I like how there are white boards everywhere and we can write on them.]]> 2018-03-28 19:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247059947 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247078119 1. I like how we work in groups for most of the practice problems. I don't really understand things too good on my own but my group is great at explaining things step by step.
2. I feel like some in class challenge questions would help prepare for exams.
3. The active learning classroom feels very encouraging when it comes to learning new material.]]> 2018-03-28 20:41:46 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247078119 Check in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247119548 1.I like the teamwork in class, which makes sharing fun and meaningful.
2. I think more exercises can help us to understand more profoundly the content in class.
3. I like this grouping mode. The number is moderate. Everyone has the opportunity to speak but not too crowded.]]> 2018-03-29 01:35:57 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247119548 Check-in https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247358444 1. I like that the class moves quickly, and that we are encouraged to try practice problems during the lecture so we can check our understanding often.
2. More real-world connections to help explain concepts are always appreciated.
3. I like everything about the set-up with the groups and all, and the many whiteboards. It seems very bright in the classroom, and I have to really squint to read the slides on the screens due to the brightness. But this is just my eyes being sensitive and likely not anything anyone can control, so I really have 0 complaints.]]> 2018-03-29 18:11:12 UTC https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247358444 Check In https://padlet.com/bhuyans/eenq5llb0n41/wish/247391013 1. I like the pace that the class moves at.
2. I want the class to be earlier, 7:40 is really late. I guess this is what i signed up for though.
3.. The econ-lab's are really confusing and un-intuitive.
