What do you like best about this course?:
Nothing.
Perfect
The effective teaching method
The material was interesting
I love my prof Charnley as well as the course context.
The fairness of Professor Charnley, and his dedication to making sure we learn all the material.
The concept of probability is very interesting and it was just interesting to learn a little more about it.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Give homework as a participation grade as many points can be lost if you make even the smallest mistake. Same with practice problems at the end of class. Also much of the homework was not what we did in class. Difficulty went from 0-100.
Nothing
I would give less assignments. Also if you missed one day of class, your grade would decrease significantly.
I will apply the information I learned in the daily life.
I think that I would assign chapters to read in the textbook as additional material.
If anything outside resources would be valuable. If I didn't fully understand something I would have had liked somewhere else to go and be able to spend time trying to understand that topic.
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
The only upside I can think of is I have never put more effort both in and out of the classroom in order to pass.
Just math knowledge
I am more interested in probability
Yes, he is very patient and full of enegetic which makes the class very vivid.
I learned that I can persevere and still learn something new against all odds.
I was not particularly interested in this course due to my not finding it useful, but by the end I can see how probability relates to the workforce and how it might be applied in my field of study. So this course expanded my understanding of the importance of probability.
Other comments or suggestions::
You go too fast in class, the only time I somewhat understood concepts was in office hours. Also stop making exams cumulative, it's literally the worst.
:))
Great teacher and interesting class
I love him, Charnley, the best teacher I have ever seen!
This class was truly amazing! I would highly recommend it.
The course was well done. Professor was very motivated to have students understand the material. Good class overall.
