70% of students watched at least half of videos
92% feel videos added instructional value
91% felt videos reinforced understanding
85% felt videos made them feel confident

The best thing about the recorded
lectures was:
“Most of test material was in the lecture. Seemed like I was getting face-time with
professor even though it was an online class
“The best thing was being able to pause or go back. In a normal lecture, you cannot
do that. “
The worst thing about the recorded
lectures was:
“I couldn't ask questions right away, I had to wait until class if I didn't understand
material.”
“Since we didn't have a face-to-face lecture, I found myself procrastinating and putting
off watching the lecture videos until a later date. “
