webscience 10: Assessment 2

Assessment: Affective factors Post-course satisfaction survey

Students were asked "If you could pick your instructor and you had a choice between two equal instructors, except that one instructor used WarmUps and the other didn't, which instructor would you pick? 91% preferred WarmUps.
Overall I would rate the WarmUp system as "Excellent(10) - VG(7.5) - Satisfactory(5) - Poor(2.5) - Very Poor(0): Result 8.21

Are the WarmUps a good idea? Why?

"The WarmUps are ok. They seem to help us think before lecture into the main points that will be discussed, so that we are not that lost when we walk into class."
"I think the warmups are a good idea because without them most students would not even look at the material before class."
"I think that warm-ups are a good idea in that it makes us get in the book and search things out."
"Yes! They force me to look at the new stuff a little before coming to class, and help me get a general idea on if I need to pay special attention in class."
"Yeah, I think the warm ups are a very good idea. It helps me to get a head start on understanding the new materials better."
