Criticisms raised:
How you will
address the
evaluations:
- This unit was very much a repeat of A-level work and for those
who have already done A-level economics it seemed like a
refresher course and although helpful, it was at times boring. I
would suggest that optional extra reading or more advanced tasks
where made available to provide a challenge to those who
already know the basic material. As for people who have not
studied economics before, the pace of the lectures was simply too
fast and people switched off because they couldn't keep up or
understand. I recognise that it's difficult to tailor teaching to two
groups of people like this but I certainly think it is something that
should be looked into.
- Take more time to deliver the information to the student.
- Take some time out her work schedule to go over things more in
depth.. not move so rapidly along the slides (especially for people
i.e. me who have not studied a level economics before.) also she
said she'd made a reading list.. not sure if she has yet?
- More enthusiasm
Prepare a reading list for the students in advance of the start of
the course
Offer additional material for those students who have already
completed A level Economics
Try and convey more enthusiasm in the delivery of the information
