Having the complete set of class slides with some example problems really helped me understand the lessons and get the techniques to do the problems. The quest assignments served as practice for me and was very useful in making me accustomed to the problems. ]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:29 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601205875 Regents Questions JosieNak https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206014 I thought the regents questions were good for me even though we weren't going to take the Regents test. It was a change from the format of UTEXAS (which I do love) but that change was nice. ]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:33 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206014 samuelweisgerber https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206105 The most challenging part of this class was finding the time to complete my asynchronous assignments.]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206105 miaperry2 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206148 Posting the slides on Google Classroom and the worksheets provided in class were really helpful for reviewing any material I may have forgotten]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:35 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206148 zhixinfu2 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206327 the way our SGI time was instructed is very helpful]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206327 ivandong3 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206336 The zoom meetings and the worksheets because it helps me understood the lesson a lot better.]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:40 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206336 nuhajabeen1 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206527 One thing that worked well this year was having the live class slides to refer back to in google classroom as well as having the worksheets online on my drive.]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206527 fardeenislam1 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206568 This year in chemistry, I feel like I have gained a lot of knowledge and the SGI's were very helpful for review. I think that google classroom worked very well as well since it was organized and reminded me about homework assignments. I also really like to do the HW on Utexas since its very organized and made sense. The presentations slides were also very helpful, concise, and clear.  ]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:45 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206568 romakerr1 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206709 Taking notes really fast, but that would have been a problem for me anyway]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:49 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206709 the SGI's where we shared our answers and explanations to some hw questions. averyahlgrim1 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206773 2021-06-11 14:35:50 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601206773 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601207033 One thing that worked well was that the class slides were always posted after class and that made it easier for me to refer back to them.-Xio ]]> 2021-06-11 14:35:56 UTC https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601207033 charnhong1 https://padlet.com/eratz1/evn5wz9hdrr26rmk/wish/1601207208 Something that worked well this year in chemistry was the labs that were assigned for homework some days.
