TEACHING VIA THE WEB (Dr. Brian Staveley)
Is this a useful topic to include: 12 Yes (including 1 Very!) 1 No
What did you like about this segment?
? It was interesting to see how you can do courses using the web
? Good example of more practical topic. It can be really helpful to have lecture notes online- not writing all the time but listening students can prepare for class
? Great pedagogical philosophy. Friendly, seemed nice
? Wonderful, Excellent The Cats Pyjamas! Just the sort of practical, useful instruction this course has been crying out for. More Much More!!
? This was very useful
? I will probably do this. This makes my life easier than printing overheads and photocopying
? Interactive.
? I would like it if we could have a session with someone from computing to learn how to create a website. Its not like it was totally useless, but I would like to be able to apply this stuff
? Great speaker, very humorous. I liked how he gave examples of how any discipline/ course could use the web to teach
? He was enthusiastic. Gave some good ideas. Asked how it applied to everyone
? Liked his philosophy. Nice to see he has science students write
? Very useful he did raise many important practical points and I liked that he tried to involve each student (I didnt really like the way he did it)
? Useful to see how someone plans a course
How do you think it could be improved?
? A little more discussion maybe
? A lot of references to his expert knowledge. Was he joking or serious?
? He seemed to only be satisfied if people agreed that his way was the best way to teach a class. And I dont agree that there is a text for everything!
? Handout
? Maybe send us his URL before so we can check out the website first
? Address the fact that instructors wont always have optimal internet use, but some. This was covered, but alternating between old and new technologies should be more to the forefront of the session
? Sometimes people who really like new technology and stuff get carried away. They use it for everything they do. Think also of PowerPoint when it is not necessary or even more trouble than a couple of simple overheads. This should be given a bit more attention I think.
? He could explain a bit more practical stuff ~ like how to use the web and make ?
? WebPages (or even a short demonstration to show us how easy it really
is!)
What was your overall impression of today?
? Great! (2)
? Good (4)
? Ball-bouncingly superior to what has gone before. FANTASTIC. Dr. Stavely is a credit to his department and modern educational techniques.
? Very productive but TOO Cold!
? Inspiring to do the WebPage
? Good. Cold. Thank you for moving to Science
? Very useful
? I enjoyed it. Learned some new things.
? Very good. I like watching the videos
What did you find helpful?
? The session was practically helpful
? Discussing peoples teaching experiences
? Made me want to do a webpage for upcoming classes Ive put it off long enough.
? Liked discussing how to set-up a course. Made an abstract concept more concrete.
? The whole session by Dr. Stavely
? Moving to a warmer class ?
? Might use his WebPage as a model
? The web session
? Internet posting of course syllabus. Gave me ideas for the future. The lack of interruptions by students on a trip to tangent city, in the province of pointless. A pleasure.
? How to build a course?
? Good video presentations. I think this really helps you to become a better teacher and to build some confidence.
? Feedback from my teaching video presentation!
How do you think the overall session could be improved?
? It was great, maybe a bit more practical
? This week was just great the way it was.
? Warmer room this morning
? Not much. Id like more of the same.
? The presenter (Dr. Stavely) seemed a little too confident that this would be applicable to everyone
? It was great
