SUSTAIN Physics Spring 2016 Survey Question Title * 1. What percentage of your learning came from: Other students? Playposit videos? Other online resources? The College Physics text? Pete’s class lectures? Office hours with instructor? Question Title * 2. Few students came to office hours. Please express your experience: Question Title * 3.

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 so everyone will do them. We should continue being graded only on Exams and the project so everyone can find their preferred method of learning. Other (please specify) Question Title * 5.
