Conclusions:
To hope for
a r10 on your opinion whether we always do useful stuff on the lessons is a bit
much, but it is of course the goal. Most of you find most of the lessons useful
and that is good.
What is to
be done to raise this figure?
You don’t
seem to think that we had to few lectures, 3,76 indicates a small disagreement
to that statement. On the other hand you either disagree or agree with the
statement that we had to many. Normal amount of lectures is my conclusion.
The
exercises in Traynor seem to be at a normal rate, you give the book a 7,12 and
you see the purpose of the exercises. If anything you seem to think that the
book should be used slightly more.
The
lectures are not to detailed and not on a to basic level. A 7,18 indicates that
most of you find the lectures good and informing, this is also something that I
can read out from the comments. The statement “I learn much better if the
teacher gives lectures and I take notes” gets a 6,12 a slight agreement but the
statement “I learn much better if get
exercises that I can solve on my own on the lessons” gets 3,94. From this I can
tell that the summary lectures are slightly more popular and useful than the
exercises in Traynor.
Summary
of two things to change:
You wish
for more debates and discussions over historical issues and facts like the
trial we had this week.
A majority
of you writes this down, so I will try to see what I can come up with. If you
have any ideas you are of course welcome to present them.
You want me
to more thoroughly give you the “right answer” to the questions you answer in
Traynor and on the texts I have handed out to you.
Go through
more typical IB-questions.
Use more
“outside” material.
Summary
of two things to keep:
A majority
of writes the summary handouts and the summary lectures. You also liked the
trial against Stalin.
Summary of
your opinion:
More group
assignments, more discussions and more outside material. The balance we must
keep between you working on your own and me giving lectures have according to
the agree/disagree questions functioned well. But on here we can see a wish for
more active work for you. I fully agree, I think that we had a tendency to get
stuck in the answering of HOW things happened at the expense of WHY they
happened. You will need both for your exam but the balance you be tipped over
to more discussions around why things happened at the expense of how they
happened. The answer to the question “How things happened” you can find out in
the books, through videos etc. Lectures should continue to be summaries of the
part we just deal with.
I am happy
to see that you are interested in history and that you find the lessons useful
and good.
