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.
Final Thoughts• Class Recruitment difficult
• Student participation varies
Final Thoughts• IRB Constraints
• Time
Final Thoughts• Post-class = Pre-class
• No Tutorials = Poor understanding
• Save class time and focus instruction – Students appreciated this!
Future• More classes• More controls• Additional tutorials?
