IDST 2310 Course Survey Fall 2000

Student 3

1. Fun and interesting are simple descriptive words that come to mind-a class that has something for everyone and keeps your attention.

2. I would explain it as a course that incorporates a little of all of the disciplines (English, art, psychology, history, etc.)

3. Other classes don't incorporate the different methods of teaching as this one did (projects, WEBCT, movies, slides, music, etc) which is sad because these keep my attention and make it interesting. The exams found in this class were similar to other classes.

4. It differs greatly because different resources were used (WEBct, projects) and I wasn't subjected to a boring, monotonous lecture every day like other classes.

5. The different subjects covered are interesting to me on their own. The various projects (hands-on) were fun and enjoyable.

6. I did spend more time with this class (projects, postings, etc) than I did with any others. I do understand the difficulty of covering lots of material with such a small timeframe.

7. Students such as myself are often times asked to teach or present sections to the class (for other classes). I have learned different ways of presenting material that deviates from boring, monotonous lectures!

8. I find that I have developed a greater appreciation for other cultures and art forms with each humanities class I take, and this is no exception.

9. Poetics has always been a challenge and weak spot for me and this was no exception.

10. The traditional subjects like Italian art (paintings, sculpture) and Greek art presented the least challenge because I have had prior exposure to them

11. I think that the idea is great-I like taking quizzes, etc., on my own, the only complaint is the dependability issue with WEBct-there were plenty of times that it went out on me.

12. The Yoruba ring project was not only helpful but kept my interest. I'm the type of person that does better with hands-on applications WEBct chapters were a great way to review for exams

13. The Napoleon unit had lots of history to accompany it the Freud and Tueng chapters of course used psychology art was covered in almost all sections.

14. The self portrait and preferential shape projects reinforced what I had already learned (good thing!)

15. No, I don't. I have a small musical background and have had plenty of art and literature courses, so it came without much difficulty .The pyramids section was more difficult because it's not a subject covered in much detail by preceding classes.

16. I enjoyed it even with the amount of time that was invested. Using various resources (slides, music, WEBct, projects, etc.) is a great way of teaching the course and definitely kept my interest (which is difficult to do!)
