MPRSS: FAS010 Astrophysical Dynamics Sp2, 10/11Status: AvslutadÖppen för svar: 2010-12-14 - 2011-01-15 Antal svar: 5 Procent av deltagarna som svarat: ?% Kontaktperson: Arto Heikkilä»
Your own effort1. How many hours per week did you spend on this course?We mean total time, that is, it comprises the time you spent in class and the time you spent on your own work. Try to estimate the average time over the entire study period.5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.2 - More of the time the last few weeks with the seminars of course.» (Around 25 hours/week) 2. How large part of the teaching offered did you attend?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.8 - I believed it was very important in this course to attend the classes. » (100%) Goals and goal fulfilmentThe course syllabus states the course goals in terms of learning outcomes, i.e., knowledge, skills and attitudes to be acquired by the student during the course.3. How understandable are the course goals?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3 - It"s a general problem that syllabi don"t reflect course content. Nevertheless, Alessandro, made an effort to explain the contents and what differed from the syllabus, and based on that it was OK.» (The goals give some guidance, but could be clearer) 4. Are the goals reasonable considering your background and the number of credits?Answer this this question and the succeeding one, only if you do know the course goals.4 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2 - I did have to work alot, especially for the hot topic since I hadn´,t taken any courses in astrophysics. I would recommend that, but its definitely doable anyway.» (Yes, the goals seem reasonable) 5. Did the examination assess whether you have reached the goals?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.2 - I cannot see how it is possible to make a fair judgement of one"s knowledge of the course from only a presentation on something related to the subject. There"s a reason every other comparable course has written exams: to gauge knowledge you need to ask questions and ask for explanations ON THE RELEVANT KNOWLEDGE. » (No, not at all) Teaching and course administration6. To what extent has the teaching been of help for your learning?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.4 - Alessandro teaches physics the way physics should be taught.» (Large extent) 7. To what extent has the course literature and other material been of help for your learning?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 2.2 - The lecturer provided an excellent reference list.» (Some extent) 8. How well did the course administration, web page, handouts etc work?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.8 - To not print out the lecture slides for us because “,it"s expensive”, is a poor excuse. (Just compare the cost of printing 10 x 10 sheets to the 2 h salary cost for the teacher.) There are many good reasons why the teacher shouldn"t print the lecture slides and hand them out to us, but seeing how he emphasized how important they were, the low cost of printing them would probably make it the most cost-efficient way to improve the students" knowledge.» (Rather well) Study climate9. How were the opportunities for asking questions and getting help?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 - Couldn"t possibly be better.» (Very good) 10. How well has cooperation between you and your fellow students worked?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3.2 - The teamwork sessions were a failure. It"s a good idea, though, but sometimes I guess it just doesn"t work out.» (Rather poorly) 11. How was the course workload?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 3 - It was a bit stressy at the end (as usual in Chalmers), but was quite "easy-going" the rest of the time.» (Adequate) 12. How was the total workload this study period?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4 - I don"t know if -objectively- the total workload was really too high or not. It was for me though, because of important personal issues.» (Too high) Summarizing questions13. What is your general impression of the course?5 svarande
Genomsnitt: 4.6 - This course got me to realy think about the physics and not get sstuck on small details, been a long time since I have had that. Knowledge from a lot of different couses is used which is great.» (Excellent) 14. What should definitely be preserved to next year?- the exerciseclasses, hot topic seminar, lecturer»- - The teamwork is great. - The fact that we could read/print the lecture notes before the lectures - The seminar / trip to Onsala was nice. I"ve been there before already, but I still think it"s a good thing.» 15. What should definitely be changed to next year?- A written exam is needed. Contrary to what Alessandro says, I believe there are many excellent questions and problems suitable for examination. Explaining concepts like instabilities, shocks, and resonances would make for great questions, not least because Alessandro has emphasized intuitive understanding of the course material, rather than detailed knowledge of the mathematics, and explaining these concepts would really test this understanding and not just the ability to remember and juggle formulae.»- cant really think of anything» - - The teamwork was really good, but it ended too fast. A similar additional work focused on (e.g.) turbulence, or shocks, would be nice. Thinking about problems, and sharing ideas with classmates, help a lot to understand the physics. » 16. Additional comments- The presentations are meant to teach us about a lot of stuff that there"s not enough time to bring up during the lectures. Well, they don"t work. If there"s not enough time to go through it in the lecture, then it most certainly isn"t enough with a pseudo-lecture on twenty minutes held by someone who"s completely inexperienced in holding lectures, doesn"t really know the subject, and is way too nervous because it"s not just a presentation for the audience, it"s their god damned exam. I"m sorry. It"s a nice idea, but it doesn"t work. It could, however, be worth a try to work to keep the projects but present them in a short written article. It would also be helpful if Alessandro provided a list of concepts relevant to the course. Because there is no course book and the slides only offer support to what Alessandro talks about, there is no way to prepare for lectures by reading up and looking up unfamiliar concepts and quantities before the lecture, so when he starts talking about stuff new to you, you get lost. In a perfect world, you"d interrupt him and ask for an explanation, but really, nobody does that. He does a fairly good job at explaining concepts, but he misses some. If we could have a list we could look at, it would make it easier to follow and prepare for the lectures. Examples include velocity dispersion, differential rotation, advection, etc. Naturally, such a list could also include all the concepts he DOES go through, as it"s hard to remember all the stuff all the time, plus that it would offer a great help in getting an overview of the course. Also, it would be nice with more open-ended questions for the teamwork sessions. As it is, it was too much calculation and too little discussion.»- I loved this course. It made it fun to study physics again anf made me realise why I did in the first place. Also, Alessandro was great.»
