What do you like best about this course?:

her participation and effective explanation of the concepts that I was unclear about.

We are divided into differnt groups, and talk about a lot of difficult questions.

I liked how we used recitation to review the material from lecture. I always really liked how my recitation instructor was very helpful and available in and outside of class.


If you were teaching this course, what would you do differently?:

spend more time concerning about students who have problems

I didn't like how we always did workshops every recitation. I feel like they were very difficult and didn't always help us because we didn't understand the material. I think it would have been more beneficial to do more review materials from the book and previous exams.


In what ways, if any, has this course or the instructor encouraged your intellectual growth and progress?:

She showed how you can apply these math concepts in real life or showed how they are applicable to the real life.

No

I did like the idea of the workshops when they were directly related to what we were learning in class at the time. I also think it encouraged intellectual growth because we had to explain our thinking which made us actually understand what we were doing.
