THANK YOU!
On behalf of the
implementation team, I'd like
to thank you for your patience
as we developed this tool. We
appreciate all of the guidance,
feedback, and support we
received along the way.The smaller blue line (Standard Deviation) is always centered at the average.
A longer line shows that there is more variance in responses.
When student responses tend to group closely around the average, the line is shorter.
End of large yellow
bar is the average
(mean) score for
that question
For most questions: For the "Overall… " questions:
N/A was given as an option. When selected, it was not used in calculations.
You will also see Frequency Distributions like this one for each
question. Sometimes knowing the average and standard deviation
isn't enough. These will give you a snapshot of how students
responded to each question.
Horizontal axis matches the Likert scale (5 is good, 1 is less good).
Vertical axis shows the number of students selecting each option.

many different labs
help to write and understand a source paper better
Helped me with the correct form of referencing and citation in my essay.
She explained concepts clearly and used multiple ways to define and explain ways in which do to
something.
She gave very useful feedback and I can usually fix my mistakes.
Tons of Group Work Explained concepts throughly
Took it step by step and was always willing to help if you were stuck.
Group activities were a big helper because when people lecture I fall asleep.
presentations of each topic was extremely useful
she was alway very open with us and respectful and made the classroom feel safe
she's very funny, and uses that to teach us.
Talked and went over things in the book but also gave real world examples. watched movies that
elaborated on the topics. allowing 2 times to take the tese
We worked in projects as groups I feel that helped me learn a lot. I feel that the book and had
pretty good content that was very educational. The journals where a good to help me understand
the material. It made me think outside the box.
She provided feedback on all of our discussions and assignments to help us understand.
The weekly discussions help make me think about what I just read and apply the knowledge.

my other classmates
come to class every time that was required
Visual aids and time being social with other students.
The small book and outside sources helped me learn
Lots of visuals and hands on activities. She caters to individuals needs and explains things in a way
that makes most sense to them.
Being organized
More group activities and movies actually helped me think about the processes of the class.
Her slides made it very easy for us to take notes that way that worked best for us to understand
the material and the book was easy to read and understand.
Applying what I learned helped me learn even more.

Free-Response Questions (Detail)

6. D2L was set up well and I knew where to find any information I needed to complete my
assignments.
Watching the videos she posted as well as the example student discussion posts and essays was
very helpful for me when I had to write mine.
Constantly checking the d2l announcements page
She provided outside materials to help teach if a concept was difficult to understand.

further explanation on lectures. Going into more detail about the chapters we discussed. Small
handouts I think would've been helpful.
online assignments watching videos
take more a hours at home and dedicated more
more one on one time to discuss work and questions that might not otherwise be answered or
asked in class.
I don’t really know.
I honestly think that she did a great job and could not think of anything else that could have
helped me learn better.
how to balance work, school, and social life
My own work ethic, I can think of nothing more that the instructor could have done to help me
learn more, she was very helpful.
Having a longer class time
not getting so off topic
I feel adequately learned.
nothing everything was amazing
it was a good learning environment.
Only thing I can think of would be knowing the pages from the book we would be going over in
class the week before. (I'm a slow reader.)
I don't know.
I feel that reading more about the book in class as part of discussion and maybe power points
shown in class.
Reading more of the textbook would have helped me to understand this class better when
analyzing texts, but overall I thought this class was very informational and educating.
More teacher instruction would be helpful. Often times learning was left to the students but help
was always offered.
