ASSIGNMENT
what is your name? sam
are you a grad student? no, senior
why did you enroll in this class? it’s required for my major
have you heard of my class or teaching methodology? nope
what are your initial thoughts? the core concept and goal for this learning method makes sense, but the way in which the information is delivered and explained is too incoherent and all over the place. having to navigate a seemingly endless syllabus to find out that hardly none of the class is on blackboard and i’m required to go to a bunch of different sites (wordpress, survey, google sheets, plectica….) for one assignment is, in my opinion, ridiculuous and counterintuitive to the syllabus’s goal of facilitating knowledge transfer, but maybe i’m just a little ticked off at having to juggle a bunch of different websites and extra internet/website creations and editing (i’m a computer dummy) for this class and i’ll probably end up eating my words by midterm, stay tuned.
what are your expectations for this course? to learn about tests and measurements
did you sign up for plectica? yes
did you join the FB group? no i do not have FB
Good job! I am a candid person and I appreciate your honest and blunt feedback. Please keep it coming!
I won’t lie, I’m having some similar feelings. I tried to work on this several times during the week, but I have a 50+ hr a week career, am a mom of two, a scout troop leader, church… lots of irons in the fire. I couldn’t focus and take enough time to navigate all this until I had a larger block of time this evening. I won’t always have that flexibility. But, I can figure that out, probably, so my primary concern really is that this is one of the most important classes for me in this major because of my career goals and current position and I really need to learn this material well. I’m worried I’ll be spending so much time with non-value-added steps that I won’t get as much out of it as I would with a traditional class. On the other hand, if I truly get thinking in a more organic way, maybe I can bring real-life application to the table and it will be a very beneficial experience. Thanks for bluntly voicing some of the thoughts running through my head. I suspect we will both get more comfortable with it and be able to focus on content soon. We can do this!
