Class Feedback Surveys


Thanks everyone for filling out my feedback survey. Here's the results:

Feedback for IWM courses

The above word cloud was driven only from the written comments. It is a combination of both classes comments. The larger the word the more frequently it was used with challenging (in a positive sentiment voice) was used 12 times and the terms only used 1 time were the ones the same size as low-value or knowledgable.

The complete survey summaries are available as well:

MCOM43
MARK5000

For the most part the sentiment of each group was positive and that the majority of students are finding this course relevant and useful. It is challenging but achievable - exactly what a teacher and a HE institution strive for.

Areas that I will work to improve upon based on this feedback are (keeping in mind that I need to respond to the majority not the minority in making significant course adjustments):
  • Provide written direction and details for even the minor assignments such as blogposts, similarily to what I have provided for the larger assignments;
  • Add in additional one-on-one or small group discussions, coaching and feedback sessions;
  • Look for additional ways to provide more hands-on learning as opposed to traditional lecture formats of delivery;
  • Lastly, still under review but I may change some of the markable assignments to be less focused on blog written (now that they are established and other courses are making use of them) and turn our attention over to client projects and in-class activities. I will review this with you guys next week.
 If you were one of the 'outliers' in the survey and your comments / concerns did not fall with the majority and you would like to discuss your concerns in person I am open to doing so. Talk to me before or after class to book an appointment.
