While we realize G429c/e/g is something in your past, we would greatly appreciate one more effort from you in the form of a serious examination of the strengths and weaknesses of G429c/e/g. Please take the time to complete the course evaluation found below. What we would ask is that you try and make specific comments so that we will have some concrete ideas to consider. Making specific comments is more time consuming for you, but it will be very helpful for us to have a student’s perspective on problems and their possible solutions for which future participants in our course will no doubt be very grateful. Please note that for comment fields you may type as many lines as needed although only 5 at a time are visible on your screen. The arrows at the right of the box allow you to review the hidden lines.
1. The primary goal of G429c/e/g is to integrate the diverse subject matter of Geology through problem solving in the field. Do you agree with this goal or do you think G429 should have a much different goal and orientation?
Did G429 succeeed or fail in attaining this goal?
Succeed
Fail
2. In retrospect, which parts of your total experience in G429c/e/g did you find most rewarding?
Which did you find least rewarding?
3. Throughout our meetings in which we plan G429c/e/g for the coming summer, we consider ways of changing the course (e.g. teaching technique, personnel, timing, and use of teaching/study areas, subject matter emphasis, logistics, and so forth) in order to make it more effective. Please indicate on the following pages which aspects of the course are most and least in need of change. For each area, select either "No change", "Slight change", or "Significant change" to indicate your impression of that aspect of the course. Then, in the box under each selection, please add specific comments to explain your ideas for modifying the course. You are not restricted to the 5 lines contained in the box and can review hidden lines using the arrows to the right of the box.
