About You 5.1) 5.2) On average, how many hours each week did you devote to this course outside the classroom? How many times did you use the Math Help Room (Carver 385) throughout the semester? Less than 3 1 2 3 4 5 20% 20% 0% 20% 40% Less than 3 1 5.3) 2 3 4 5 If you went to the Help Room, how beneficial was that to you? It helped me get questions answered on the take home exam. didn't know about this help room helped me do assignments not very beneficial. There was almost always too many students and not enough tutors. Many times the tutors were more knowledgable in high level math and had trouble helping with the problems we were assigned. the help room was very beneficial. 5.4) How many times did you attend a Supplemental Instruction (SI) session throughout the semester? 66.7% 0% 33.3% 0% More than 12 1 01/11/2011 0% Less than 3 Class Climate evaluation 2 3 4 5 n=3 av.=2 md=1 dev.=1.73 ab.=12 Page 2 Zachary Voller, MATH 140 Section J2 (F2010) [Zachary Voller] 5.5) If you took advantage of Supplemental Instruction, how beneficial were those sessions to you?

My only complaint is that Zach was like any other high-school math teacher. The problems he gave us for examples were much easier than homework. Tests were usually well gaged from examples, however I am worried about the difficulty of the Final and if I will be prepared by being in Zach's lecture. The course seemed a little unorganized. The teacher was just awful. He was the worst teacher I have ever had. his test were way above the level of homework that was given and the reviews that were given. Also the test were far to long to finish in 50 minutes. I suggest to get a different teacher for the next students who take this course. the exam average was way below 50% and the quiz average was 54%. I like the teacher just not his teaching methods. 6.
