Weekly Web Feedback

  Physics 123 Autumn 2007

• Each weekend, from noon Friday until 9:00 am Monday, you may fill out the Weekly Web Feedback. 
  

• Lecture Feedback

• What is still unclear from this past week's material (lecture, lab, tutorial) that you would like Prof. Olmstead to spend time on next class?
• From your reading of the coming week's text material (see syllabus), what is particularly unclear in the book that you would like Prof. Olmstead to spend time on in class this coming week?

• On Monday morning, Prof. Olmstead will review this feedback and adjust her lectures accordingly.  Please be brief, but specific.
• Submission of this feedback will count towards your grade as in the same way as clicker points.
  
• Each helpful feedback submission will receive 3 bonus points (i.e., "none", or "lots" receives no credit)
• Multiple submissions in one week are allowed, but extra credit is given only once per week.  If you find during your reading or homework that you have additional questions, by all means submit them.
• If you wish to make anonymous comments, please use the anonymous email form.  You won't receive any bonus points, but Prof. Olmstead will seriously consider your comments, just the same.
  
• If you can't access a survey, check the time.  If it should be available, but isn't, please email Prof. Olmstead
