Honors Physics - SUMMER 2011

Please offer your comments and suggestions on the honors physics course. I will use this information to continue to improve this class for next year. This survey is completely anonymous unless you include your name in any of the free response questions below.


A red asterisk (*) indicates required questions.

  1. Rank all the topics we've covered this semester from least difficult (1) to most difficult (6)*
        1 2 3 4 5 6
    Particle Physics  
    Waves and Sound  
    Light and Optics  
    Electricity and Circuits  
    Magnetism  
    Modern Physics  


  1. Rank all the topics we've covered so far from most enjoyable (1) to least enjoyable (6)*
        1 2 3 4 5 6
    Particle Physics  
    Waves and Sound  
    Light and Optics  
    Electricity and Circuits  
    Magnetism  
    Modern Physics  


  1. Which of the following topics would you like to have spent more time on / done more labs on, if any?*
    Particle Physics
    Waves & Sound
    Light & Optics
    Electricity & Circuits
    Magnetism
    Modern Physics
    None of these


  1. The level of homework in this class is*
    not enough
    just right
    too much


  1. The level of difficulty of the homework was*
    not difficult enough
    just right
    too difficult


  1. The style of homework, where it is given all at once and collected during the test is*
    not rigid enough, I'd prefer set problems given every class and reviewed the next class
    I like this method
    I'd prefer to do the practice test at home as well as the homework
    I'd prefer doing everything on my own: the packet, practice test and homework. No time spent in class going over this.
    I like this method after the change mid-semester where cycle sheets included which problems we could work on early


  1. Did you feel that the group tests were beneficial to you? What did you like or not like about them? How would you suggest they be changed for next year?*


  1. If you had to offer advice to a student who was taking this class next summer, what would you say? How would you suggest the student succeed? *


  1. What were the highlights of the course for you this summer?*


  1. What constructive comments/criticism would you like to offer, if any?*


  1. Why did you choose to take this course during the summer? Are you glad you did not choose the year long honors physics course? Why or why not?*


  1. Any additional comments?
