Question Title

* 2. In a flipped classroom, students are exposed to the material at home and class time is used to work problems and develop working groups. How did this work for you?

Question Title

* 8. Maybe you took a hard copy. Which best describes your thoughts?

I never took a hardcopy

I took a hard copy but usually just looked it online anyway

I appreciated receiving the chapters one at a time because they were thin and I could carry them around with me,

I think it would be better to receive the entire text on the first day of class.

Question Title

* 9. Please offer any other thoughts / requests / advice with respect to the textbook.

Question Title

* 10. Few students came to office hours. Please explain why you did/didn't come and what this was like for you.

Question Title

* 11. With regard to the two projects we did, please check all that apply:

I learned about physics doing the project.

I found value in working with the group.

The project increased my stress.

The project positively impacted my learning experience.

The project negatively impacted my learning experience.

Provide any comments about projects or what might make them better

Question Title

* 12. I've thought about making this class more project based. For instance we could have 4 projects: at the end of weeks 2, 4, 6, and 8. Then I would allow more class time for the projects. What do you think?

We shouldn't have any projects. Instead we should spend more time on homework problems.

Two projects is good. Don't change it.

If we reduced other requirements to make time for more projects, then it would be worth trying.

We could add more projects without reducing other requirements.

Question Title

* 13. Homework and attendance was not calculated into your final grade. Because of this,

Question Title

* 14. As the quarter progressed, the number of students handing in problem sets decreased. Check all that apply.

I continued doing the problem sets on time, but didn’t hand them in.

I continued doing the problem sets after the solutions were out and finished them.

I did part of the problem sets, choosing the problems I thought were important.

I stopped doing the problem sets altogether.

Near the end of the term, I got behind in everything and spent less time on physics.

My choices were in my best interest.

My choices were not in my best interest.

We should get points for the problem sets to incentivize doing them.

We should continue being graded only on Exams and the projects so everyone can find their preferred method of learning.
