I’ve completed grading the essays on the final assessment and thought you’d like to have some statistics about what you said – and what I learned. While grading them I kept track of your comments in a variety of categories suggested by what you wrote (see below) to get a sense of what worked and what needs to be improved.
I’ll use these results to try and improve what we do when next we offer CAEE-201.
What Worked
Overall you were very positive about CAEE-201. You liked the variety of speakers, the discussions, the labs, the exposure to what the CAEE majors consist of, and the site visits.
The breakdown of the comments overall was
- 81 Students completed the essay – 1 did not
- 42 wrote only positive comments
- 37 wrote both positive and negative comments
- No one wrote only a negative comment
- 194 Positive/Best comments
- 55 Negative/Worst/Needs Improvement comments
What Needs Improvement
As you’ll see in looking at the details the biggest area you felt needs improvement is the instructions for the labs (22 comments). There were 48 “worst” comments addressing some aspect of the labs (please note that there were 70 positive comments as well). There’s considerable variety in the specifics of what you felt was problematic.
Detailed Comment Breakdown
- The groups of comments are organized alphabetically within “Best” or “Worst”
- In some cases I included specific issues as well
