What content, covered in the tutorials or class, was new to you?
What content, covered in the tutorials or class, did you
already know?
Do you have any suggestions for improving the tutorials or the class?
I thought using the tutorial before class was helpful because it meant some of the lecture could be cut out and we
could do some searches hands-on and have questions answered. Nice pairing.
…I learned it in the tutorial, but firmed up the
knowledge in class.
This class was wonderful and very practical.
To sum it up…
• It worked!
• No Tutorials = Poor understanding
• Post-class ≥ Pre-class
• Save class time and focus instruction – Students appreciated this!
To sum it up…
• Reminders!
• Faculty buy-in is crucial
• Time
Future
• Work with classes!• Tweak questions• Additional tutorials?
