| Comment on what the instructor has done especially well in teaching the course and what he/she might do to improve teaching it. |
- Dave helps students get interested in the material. He provided real-life examples of the relevance to our careers. I think he should make his blackboard examples longer and more thorough to help students understand better.
- Dave is a very interesting & likeable person. Try to cover a bit more material / or explain some topics in more depth.
- He is engaging and interesting in his lectures, and goes out of his way to present information that is interesting to the class.
- He made the class well relaxed. He used a lot of real life examples.
- I like his sense of humor which is important.
- I liked the way he presented the material. He made it clear & understandable. He also made the class fun.
- More practical examples could be good.
- More props. Offer additional opportunities for exploration (eg. MPEG, etc.)
- Need better study guides.
- Overall, the course is well done. The lectures are clear, interesting, and entertaining. The only improvement is to provide more examples of what might be on tests. (Practice questions)
- The informal lectures are easy to listen to.
- The lecture materials are very advanced and interesting. Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to go into any depth.
- The pace can be a little bit slower. Cover less extra material.
- The pace of the course is too fast.
