What do you like best about this course?:
The flipped class setting alllowed for better and more learning.
The reverse classroom style
The method of doing video lectures at home then problems in class
The flipped classroom made learning easier.
He posted his lectures as YouTube videos to be watched at home so we spent our time in the classroom practicing problems and working together which was a great way to learn the material.
The format of learning and in class work.
I like the structure of the class. It is very different than the other calc classes I have taken at Rutgers. The way this class is set up encourages learning in a great new way. All math classes at Rutgers should be taught in this way. Active collaborative learning is the best!
I liked that the instructor posted videos of the course material online. It allowed me to learn on my own prior to the next class meeting.
What I liked best about this course is the problems given to us. I felt like working on exercises everyday in class was an effective way to learn the material.
The online pre lecture videos were very beneficial to learning because most of class time was spent working on problems in groups
I like the "flipped classroom" style.
The teaching style of this class was great for actually learning the material and understanding it.
If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:
Hace fewer write ups.
I would have five more partial credit on exams like all my past professors have done. If there was one silly mistake but the logic was correct I would still get 0 points of out 8, even though I knew what I was doing so it was frustrating at some times.
Nothing, done very well
Do an example before class to make sure students understand the videos
Nothing
Nothing
I believe that although there are online videos available, a brief lecture in class is still necessary.
I would assign various problems that are easy, medium, and hard, than just one hard question for homework.
Nothing
In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:
This method of teaching worked very well and helped me understand the material much better.
Very helpful in class, encouraged questions, and was every enthusiastic about this course in class.
I am better at articulating my answerings and recognizing graphing patterns when given a function or set of functions
He has reinvigorated my passion for the subject.
The instructor had taught us how to apply math problems in a real world setting related to our majors.
working on the material everyday has progressed and encouraged my intellectual growth.
Group work and projects relating to applications
Other comments or suggestions::
Very well done
The use of canvas and how the class was taught in respect to the use of videos and other materials helped me learn like no other class before
Best class I took at rutgers
The videos were very helpful.
Great teacher!!
