When you say that students are allowed one late assignment. Does this mean that they can turn it in a whole week late when

the class meets again or do they have to get it to you somehow the next day? Overall, I think the syllabus provides a very

clear overview of the course.

I found it quite easy to understand what the course will cover and what is expected from the students by reading the

syllabus.1 6.67%

I think that the course syllabus was really easy to follow, read and understand. I think the language used to convey the rules

and expectations did a good job of finding a balance between friendliness and seriousness. I for sure got a good idea of what

to expect in the class, and I don't think changes need to be made.

1 6.67%

It is clear what the student is going to learn in the class. It is primarily a "learn the skills class," but students are stillexpected to learn basic information that will help them in the future.

1 6.67%

It looked very kid-friendly from my perspective. I liked all the colors and video's. Everything was explained thoroughly. I

think that everything I would need is there.1 6.67%

Overall, I think that the overview gives a great idea as to what skills students will learn in this course. However, I am not

sure if you would like include exactly what they are learning. I remember when I was taking this class we learned about

plants and reproduction. I would suggest including what subjects the kids will be learning in addition to the skills that

accompany it. And one small thing- for me, things in yellow are hard to read so I would suggest making it darker or another

color.

1 6.67%

The course syllabus clearly explained everything that a student taking this course would need to know about what they

would be learning and what would be expected of them. The only thing I would change is to say the videos they areexpected to watch are on the moodle page under the course syllabus. I thought something was missing from the page when I

read about the videos. Also, I didn't like the separate page about the course goals. All the different colors made it hard to

read and the map didn't show up well.

1 6.67%

The course syllabus does this pretty well. 1 6.67%

The course syllabus was very comprehensive and outlined the course extremely well. It seemed to have a very organized

approach to it, describing in detail the expectations of the course, but also the materials necessary for the course. The note

about the grading policy was also helpful; indicating that this class was not self-paced and that meeting deadlines would be

crucial. Reminding students that some structure will be provided.

1 6.67%

The document is good. It has everything that a normal course syllabus would have. Might consider making it on a PDF. 1 6.67%

The learning objectives and expectations were discussed enough to get a good idea of what the course would entail.

Although it is a hybrid class, incoming freshman may still require a reminder on classroom etiquette.1 6.67%

The syllabus clearly outlined all the expectations for the course as well as a clear set of rules and boundaries. It laid out the

framework for the class pretty well.1 6.67%

The syllabus really helps one understand the class expectations and requirements and provides a expansive overview of the

class.1 6.67%


3/21

Very complete and thorough, although for the grading policy part, you might consider giving examples of the typical

assignments or how much they are worth pointwise, just for detail.1 6.67%

You tell the incoming freshman that they can contact you if they are having difficulty meeting the deadline of the

assignment, but since they are new, they are unfamiliar with the concept of emailing a teacher. Unless this is all going to bedone through moodle messaging...

throughout the module.

Different colors makes it hard to read, writing should be in black and white, important information should be in bold or

accented in red. The link brings the student to a think map. It needs to be bigger to be able to be read. The information given

is very comprehensive

1 6.67%

For the most part, I thought that the learning objectives were clea r at the beginning of the module. They demonstrated what

each student should be able to do after completing the module as well as what they will learn.1 6.67%

Honestly, I don't know how you could possibly make the objectives any clearer. Personally, it the issue of reading over those

objectives that would be an issue, if I were in this class. Of course, as this is an optional course, hopefully the students will

be interested in really learning the skills these modules. In that case, they have all the resources clearly stated for them, and

it is very user friendly. The targets are very clearly stated.

1 6.67%

I really like the set up of the objectives and the targets. It helps a lot that it is color coordinated and that it is in bullet-point

form. It makes it very clear as to what the kids should know and the fact that it is in "I can" form instead of "you can" form.

The "I can" form gives the targets a less threatening tone. Also, I like how it is specific. Good job!

1 6.67%

If possible, make the font color for learning ta rge ts the same color, or a different font all together so as to have it stick out. 1 6.67%

In module one, the fact that for the learning targets the "I" refers to the student and then immediately afterward where you

ask, "What do you know about reading?" the "I" is re ferencing you. It took me a reread to understand this.1 6.67%

Everything was written in easy to understand lingo. 1 6.67%

First off, I would just like to say that somewhere on the site you should mention that if the students have any questions whenthey are at home doing this, that they should feel free to email you their questions. I really like the thinking map section and

I liked the video and the examples shown because when I was first learning them, I needed lots of examples! Also, Creately

is really easy to use and I was able to create a tree map on there.

1 6.67%

For the most part, I think instructions are clear. I just found one place to make a suggestion about directions. In module 3,

you tell the kids to use a thinking map to tell their story. I think this needs some elaboration, because I don't quite understand

where you would want me to begin and what kind of story you are referring to. That's all! Everything is else is good.

1 6.67%

I thought that the instructions made the modules pretty easy to follow and almost self-explanatory. This looks fine. 1 6.67%

In module 3, I think you should describe what "My Story" is. A story about the student's life or what? 1 6.67%

Instructions are quite clear. They clearly state what the assignment is and what needs to be done. It also mentions what

resources/skills that will be employed in the activity.1 6.67%

It was easy to follow what you want the students to do in each activity. The checklists and rubrics you provided were very

helpful, since they included what the students are supposed to cover. However, you might want to clarify that they will have

to make a blogspot account in order to post to the note-taking blog to avoid confusion.

1 6.67%

Most of the directions are clear, but its hard to understand which ones to do. There are different types of assignments, so its

hard to tell if a student needs to do it or not.1 6.67%

Some modules involve activities that are under the video; you may want to make a note mentioning their location. You also

might want to make a note before the reading and note taking strategies about the differences between them. When they are

required to talk about their previous experiences they might get them messed up. The activities to complete for note taking

are a little unclear.

1 6.67%

Some of the directions are sometimes too clear, maybe let the kids figure some stuff out and learn from their own mistakesand ask you questions if they have any. 1 6.67%

The directions are clear but the one website that you allow them to navigate to on Two Column Notes is slightly dense and

wordy. I'm not sure freshman would read it.1 6.67%

The directions themselves are clear, though the layout of each module is a bit unclear. Module #4 is a bit busy and the

directions don't stand out.1 6.67%

I like all the colors and the videos! 1 6.67%

I really like the integration of the discussion boards. Discussion boards are a great way to feel connected to everybody in the

class on the days that they do not meet. Also, I am really liking this creately site! Plus, for the SCAN and RUN techniques,

they are able to use it for their reading homework, which gives them a way to use it and apply the techniques. However, the

one problem with this hybrid class is that these kids will be coming from different junior highs and they will not know each

other like we (as seniors) do now. This can make it seem like the kids are "alone". Is there a way to add a "get to know you"

kind of activities? Or possibly get everyone comfortable with each other when they meet.

1 6.67%

I think that the activities will do a good job in assessing the new skills the students have learned in the modules. However,

you might want to include some forums/blogs that sparks more discussion.1 6.67%

I thought that the modules were great. Module 2:Two-Column Note-Taking was really funny and the AudioPal made me

laugh. I think all of the cool colors would be very exciting and interesting. Module 3: Thinking Maps Training had a SUPER

cool map. I really liked how it popped around and explained the differences between maps.

1 6.67%

Looking at it from the point of view of knowing what is needed to be successful in honors bio the activities are helpful. The

worksheets would seem a little tedious though to some students who believe they know how to note take or read actively. I

know my freshman year i would not have been open to the SCAN and RUN technique.

The activities are somewhat engaging, but mostly just give you the information they expect you to learn. I feel as if they

should be more fun and hands on =)1 6.67%

The activities require anyone doing them to understand what is expected of them and to prove it. If they don't pay attention

then they won't be able to complete the work, forcing them to engage in the activities.1 6.67%

The activities are engaging enough for students to complete it, which is all that is required. 1 6.67%

The animations and videos in the beginning of several modules work well to capture interest, and the modules themselves

are mostly interactive.1 6.67%

The curriculum isn't really an engaging curriculum in the first place but I think the activities you chose supplemented the

course and its' learning objectives. 1 6.67%

They had a strong core and it was clear what the student was supposed to take from it. The video's were very insightful and

easy to understand. I liked that most slides were from the PowerPoint shown in honors bio.1 6.67%

Well, I think they are as engaging as they can be, based on the lack of content this course allows. This "strategy stuff" is not

exactly the most intriguing of topics. It's definitely a positive that the modules make the students actually do things, and not

just read. I approve.

All the activities require students to employ the skills that they have just learned. They also properly test them on it.

As mentioned in the previous comment, the presentations and activities will help the students in lea rning what was mentioned in the beginning in the learning targets section.

Great!

I especially like that you included the activity on evaluating web sources since most incoming freshman would not know how to distinguish the reliability of a website.

I have not gotten through the entire actitivies, but they seem more than adaquate.

It was clear what the student was supposed to learn from the activities.

The activities you chose to support the learning targets were very good because they guided me to achieve the learning targets. The activities were geared exactly towards the lea

The activities demonstrate how to complete the activities and then allow them to try it out themselves.

The activities do serve as excellent assistance for developing the skills that the course strives to achieve.

The activities in these modules relate directly to the topics you are teaching them. No problems here.

The activities kept me interested throughout the entire module and therefor felped my learn all the targets

The activities successfully convey the information expected to be learned.

The learning targets provide the knowledge and necessary information to complete each module. This was done well.WhenIwasgoingthroughoneoftheactiviites,the"EvaluatingWebResources",thislinkhttp://www.cdc.gov/mmwr/preview/mmwrhtml/00030959.htmwasdead.Iagreethattheactivitieshe

Directions get a bit lost, but otherwise it's okay. 1 6.67%

I found that each module flowed nicely into the next. 1 6.67%

I think you should just add the learning targets at the end of each module to make sure that the student knows them. I find ithelpful when teachers list the objectives at the beginning and end of the modules. It makes me review and make sure I

learned what I was supposed to.

1 6.67%

I thought that each module had a nice progression. First, the expectations were identified, then the material was presented,

and finally each student would be assessed. I also thought that in between modules, there was a nice flow as the student

prepares himself/herself for Honors Biology or any other class.

Not only does it flow well from beginning to end, but they also tie together well. For example: modual 1 takes about reading 1 6.67%

strategies then modual 2 goes write into note taking strategies. it seems very logical and organized.

Some modules are really long with several parts. If a student were to dedicate adequate time to each and every part of the

module then by the time they come back to the original module framework it doesn't always connect and flow. However, the

flow is adequate enough.

The module flows logically through segment to segment, but there is a lot of color. 1 6.67%

The modules seem to smoothly connect from one to another. 1 6.67%

The order of the modules are logical, since the previous module will go over skills that will help in applying the skills of the

rest of the modules.1 6.67%

They are in a logical order. They begin with tes ting previous knowledge, then teaching them, and then having them try it

out.1 6.67%

Yes it does. 1 6.67%

Yes, it flows nicely from beginning to end because one cannot complete the other without the targets learned from the

previous module. Students will have to learn how to read scientific literature and learn how to take notes before thinking

critically on their own. They need a solid foundation before moving on to more complex ideas.

Easy to use. 1 6.67%

Having been in high school for three years, I am more aquainted with the technology than the average incoming freshman,

so I'm not sure if this questiom should be answered for me.1 6.67%

I agree that the technology required is fairly easy to use, however this might be a bias opinion because I already know how

to use moodle and I already know how to upload documents on google docs and how to reply to people on the discussion

boards. However, when I created a Creatly account and made a map, it was fairly easy and I have never done it before.

1 6.67%

I can't say I did not know how to use the technology already, so I am biased, however, I don't think students will have

trouble figuring it out. They're smart :) Also, the benefit of meeting once a week would allow any technical problems to be

worked out.

1 6.67%

I understood how to use the technology, however it would be very annoying to make accounts for so many web sites . I think

Although students work together, i don't like the idea of the online work. I don't feel as though students will be working

together as much, rather students would work on their own portion of the project. I have learned from experience that this

style does not work in honors bio and ALL other classes.

1 6.67%

Freshman are shy and the only interaction (unless i missed something) is respondiong to other's posts. I do not think they aregoing to be honest or do this well if they only met a few times and do not know eachother. Or they will stick to talking only

with peers from their feeder school.

1 6.67%

I agree that using discussion boards helps to keep an interaction between students in the class. However, you have to keep in

mind these kids are coming from different junior highs and they will probably not know anybody and they will already feel

lonely and isolated, like I have said before. I suggest adding more bonding activities so that the kids will make friends when

they go to the discussion board.

1 6.67%

I don't believe there is enough prompting for collaboration or interaction. But again, this is a skills and strategies for

personal improvement so I don't think it matters much, other than learning to collaborate together on powerpoints and other

presentations.

1 6.67%

I feel as if the modules were working more towards individual understanding, rather than group understanding. 1 6.67%

I really like the last forum with the critical thinking since that instigates discussion amongst the students. However, I think it

would be better if there were more opportunities to interact with each other since they will only be meeting once per week1 6.67%

I think more discussion boards could be required so that students can agree/disagree/comment on other s tudents' works. 1 6.67%

I'm not sure how well group projects will work out because students will not be seeing each other on a regular basis, but the

fact that there are multiple discussion boards throughout the online course make it a good way for students to interact

amongst themselves. Maybe a little "netiquette" should be elaborated upon at the beginning of the course to ensure the

students are following guidelines and know how to properly post to forums.

1 6.67%

Some of the technology for the class definitely encourages corroboration and cooperation. Students could use a multitude of

different resources, as well as each other to complete their work. Putting myself in the student's shoes, I think Google Docs

and Dim Dim would be used most often.

1 6.67%

the actitivites such as reading, looking at the thinking maps, note-taking strategies do not really initate cooperation. 1 6.67%

The activities encourage a more solitary approach than a collaborative one. Little coordination between students is

necessitated.1 6.67%

The students have the option, but they are not required, therefore they might not do it. So a requirment would be good. 1 6.67%

They have to comment on each others work which makes them interact. 1 6.67%


16/21

Well, when you are told to read over peers' work and comment, interaction is pretty much a given. I only agree, however,

because meeting once a week won't necessarily give the total benefit of meeting and interacting every day. It's a different

environment that inevitably creates less interaction than a classroom.

I do agree that the accessments do test what the students should be learning. However, if the students are struggling with the

technology part of the assignments, such as uploading documents or adding onto the discussion boards, they might be at a

disadvantage. I would say be sure that all kids know how to do it and maybe have a "practice" board so that they can play

around and get used to discussion boards and uploading before they have to do it for a grade.

Like I previously said, the science fair/paper packet might be helpful to include for module 5. Netiquette may be a small link 1 8.33%

Be sure to emphasize that blogging is to be formal and not in shorthand or text and conversational language. I know it is in

the netiquette section but i think it needs to be reinforced by your words.1 9.09%

Great job! I can see that you really put in alot of work. 1 9.09%

I found it very educational and I enjoyed it thoroughly! :) 1 9.09%

I like the course very much. I think that it will help students get mentally "fit" for the honors bio class. I personally wouldtone down the colors-still have colors but not so contrasty. Also, students, like consistancy, (I do) so maybe the layout could

be more consistant or look less busy. Other than that, I would take this course if I was an incoming freshman. P.S.Sorry I

was being very critical. I hope it helps.

I think it's a good course so far, I can't think of anything to improve it. 1 9.09%

I think the course was made very nicely even though there isn't actual biology content in it. The learning targets were

reasonable along with the activities and assignments. Overall, I think you did an amazing job Mrs. Naughton =]1 9.09%

I would just say to be sure that all of the kids feel comfortable with each other as classmates and that they know each other.

Also, I would be sure that the kids understand the technology part of this course because coming from 8th grade, this will

seem like a lot of new stuff at once and I think some kids are more tech savvy than others. I would have practice sessions to

let kids play around with different sites and skills without feeling the pressure of ruining their grade. Otherwise, I think that

this course is going to be great!

It's awesome! 1 9.09%

There really is not a lot you need to do to improve this course. I think it looks good, flows well, makes sense, and achieves

all the goals this class serves to teach. Great job, Mrs. Naughton!1 9.09%

This course seems really interesting and engaging. This activity made me want to take this class. I have no ways to improve

it.1 9.09%

Try and add a bit about biology, rather than just how to take Honors Bio. I feel that would be more beneficial. 1 9.09%
