Question Title

* 12. Few students came to office hours. Please explain why you did/didn't come and what this was like for you.

Question Title

* 13. With regard to the project we did, please check all that apply:

I learned about physics doing the project.

I found value in working with the group.

The project increased my stress.

The project positively impacted my learning experience.

The project negatively impacted my learning experience.

Provide any comments about projects or what might make them better

Question Title

* 14. This group of students handed in very little homework and it decreased considerably during the quarter. Check all that apply.

I think that doing homework is important in order to learn the material and do well on the exams.

I continued doing the problem sets on time, but didn’t hand them in.

I continued doing the problem sets after the solutions were out and finished them.

I did part of the problem sets, choosing the problems I thought were important.

I stopped doing the problem sets altogether.

Near the end of the term, I got behind in everything and spent less time on physics.

My choices were in my best interest.

My choices were not in my best interest.

We should get points for the problem sets to incentivize doing them.

We should continue being graded only on Exams and the projects, allowing us to be motivated to do problem sets by our interest to learn.
