  1. Past practices have been for students to do homework and for the teacher to check to see if it is complete or not. How would you rate this method of collecting and grading homework? I.e. finish a bunch in class, final touches on own. No book, use quia for quizzes and work in class.
    1 Bad- No feedback, I do it just to do it and sometimes even copy others work.
    2. Not the best-It works but I do not tend to learn from it.
    3. This is the best way to do homework and learn.

    1-I did not like the system and would prefer just writing out my answers.

    1-No, but I would not have learned anything no matter what.
    2- No, it was not well organized and therefore did not connect.
    3- Yes, this did help me connect concepts within units and connect between units.
    4-Yes, this was great...It helped being able to not only connect concepts and units but it was also pretty interesting.

  1. Rate yourself as a student:
    1. Not very good, absent a lot, I cheat when I can, I never turn in work.

    2. I struggle to grasp concepts but I do not ask questions nor do I try to get help from others (parents, friends, teacher).

    3. I am pretty good at keeping up and I tend to work hard on most subjects.

    4. I am a teachers dream. I keep track of all my work and turn in everything on time. I try to ask questions and communicate with my instructors.

  1. It isn't common practice to use the computer for testing. How did you feel using quia to take tests - you can choose multiple answers
    I love using the computer - after all, my life is all about technology
    I like using quia, but would prefer writing it on paper
    I love using quia to get the results immediately
    I hate quia - computers and technology are the devil
    I feel very comfortable using the computer and wish every other teacher would use quia for testing
    I don't care either way, a test is a test, what does it really matter.


  1. When reviewing for a test, I found the most helpful methods to be
        1 2 3 4 5 6
    quia practice test  
    quizlet  
    quizlet live  
    review sheets  
    going over my notes  
    rewriting my notes

  1. In class, I consider myself to be the student who
    can multitask - clash royale and taking notes
    am engaged most of the time
    listens and asks questions when I don't understand
    listens, but i wouldn't dare ask a question
    listens and will ask questions when we are one on one
    prefers notes to understand material
    prefers labs to understand material


  1. Final comments and have a GREAT summer:
