[Frequent(more) exams with lesser coverage, so the information
is not too much to handle, also it will help us to make up if we have a
failed exam.]
[Your team is awsome. My only
problem is my computer will not let me get the PP notes or anything that
is downloaded. I still have done very well taking down notes in class.
This is how I learn better, by writing things down. I don't think I would
use the computer notes even if they were available to me. I do feel we
need a longer lab time. We always seem rushed on Fridays. As I said
before, the two of you make a wanderful team. Class is always interesting!
Thank you!]
[I really enjoy the pharmacology
lab,I find it really useful to watch the instructor do the activity, walk
us thru it and then watch us do it. I really like that. I know that my
weakness is in math,I have started doing some of the problems at home out
of the Calculations workbook.I would just like a little more detailed
explanation about the math.]
[The lecture notes were very
helpful in umderstandng the material. It made it easier to know what to
focus on. The test review class was not helpful. I think it could be more
organized in the matter of questions and more student
participation.]
[I feel the powerpoint lectures
are really good, and they help to focus on the material at the moment. I
find the lab assignments and seminars to be very challenging and I like
that. The questions,are helpful, but I feel the powerpoints and your class
lecture notes help me more. I would like a little more interaction in
class, but others may not, as I am a very visual type person. In summary I
feel Ms. Woodberry and Ms. Guimond are "excellent" educators.]
[Sample questions are very helpful and the test review was
extremely useful.]
[Keep doing what you're doing.
You're doing a great job!!!]
[I would like a few minutes of
math prep when we are approaching a new topic such as drop factors. The
book is helpful but somtimes it nice to go through the problem, or maybe
ask if anyone is having problem with a certain problem. Thank you,
Tori]
[I would suggest that the lecture notes be placed in the
syllabus, because I have tried so many times to see the lecture notes in
the website, but I couldn't. Also, I would suggest that a practice quiz,
or a study guide be given to help us prepare for the tests and final exam.
Also, I think it would be fun and interesting if we had a group project
simulating hospital situations with the medications that we learn; and
each week or every 2 weeks we give a report of what is going on with the
patient, and at the end of the semester do a presentation on
it.]
[help provide more feedback on what to concentrate on for test
prior to test...it's hard to find the direction when there are 12-20
chapters...]
[More sample test questions, even
if available online or some method other than class time. ]
[I
would rather use the time that we take in class to go over our seminars
for more math time that is teacher directed. The seminar assignments are
great, but most of us do them in groups or check out what each other has
decided on before class, so its kind of a repeat. I may be biased on this
because I am a math-phobic..... Another thought, perhaps more lab time for
pharm. We have so much lab time for Foundations, and not much for pharm.
Love how organized you two are with the powerpoints etc., The energy
between you two teachers is excellent, and makes going to your class a
pleasure. :) Thanks for all you do!]
[I ENJOY YOUR CLASS. I THINK YOU
ARE DOING EVERYTHING POSSIBLE TO HELP US. THANK YOU]
[Provide more interactive activities about each drug
classification, much like the seminars do in a broad sense.]
[I
find my difficulties lie in judging what should be: studied just to
understand the concept, what to really memorize, or what to avoid. Going
into the computerized math case studies I thought I understood how to
understand and approach the different situations, but as I progressed I
was feeling very unsure of myself. I believe that I may need to find a
tutor to help clarify what I am perceiving as difficult now. I would have
also appreciated more lab time with the instructors. Once the instructors
go over the skill we, as students, do not have more than one chance to
demonstrate that skill to the instructor. We tend to run a few minutes
late just giving everyone one try. I learn well through repetition, and
would feel more comfortable having more lab time with the
instructors.]
[I don't know that you (faculty)
could do any more to help us learn the material. I think you are very
organized and the material is covered throroghly. It does seem as though
we don't have much time in lab. That hasn't been a problem yet, but could
be an area of concern in the future. Thanks for all your help.]
[No
rating on the website notes because I don't utilize. I rarely answer the
study questions either. Class lecture combined w/ review and assignments
have been the most helpful to me as is study time in group and alone at
home.]
[I was very happy with my grade
on the test, therefore I don't suggest changing anything. I'm extremely
grateful that you have the powerpoints available ahead of time; I wish it
was the same in Foundations.]
[I know that during teaching
sessions you state what things needed to be taught to the pt, but maybe
you could group them while speaking about them (like you did at test
review time), i.e. All the ones that cause photosensitivity are___. I feel
that I spent a lot of time trying to find differences to make them unique
and to sort of group them and then I was short on time REALLY knowing
them.]
[i think that i understand the
material, but i will probably need to see a tutor for the more complex
math.]
[I find I am learning the
material very well with the seminar assignments (especially helpful) and
lab assignments. I would like to see more lab time however. I feel we do
not spend enough time practicing in lab. We have a lot of lab time devoted
to Fundamentals of Nursing, but not enough time to
Pharmacology.]
[more lab time for practice on
skills this is a great class]
[quick review of med calculations
during ea teaching session]
[MORE LAB TIME!!!!! I feel so
rushed in lab & not all of the information sticks. I would feel more
confident if we had more time with our instructors]
[Study
more for the exam.]
[I suggest that you spend 30 mins
or so going over the math part in class once a week. I don't agree that
the student is left alone trying to do it themselves. I am aware that you
can go to the teacher individually but.... I think it need to be covered
in class. I also sugget that it is a lot of information for a student to
absorb information all at once. I believe that the student should be
tested in every 2 chapters that way it's not too many drugs for students
remeber all at once. I don't agree with 10 to 12 chapters. It's too much.
I learn better if you gave frequent test in smaller chapters. Because it
gets very overwhelming and confusing for a first time nursing
student.]
[More time needs to be devoted to
math in class as a lecture. The content lectures on the prototype drugs
and how they work is extremely helpful. Today's lecture was great!! I
learned a lot.]
[Some additional math problems
elsewhere or a weekly/bi-weekly quiz on it. Lecture is great. Very
interesting and holds my interest.]
[Since a lot of study emphasis is
the power points, re-organization of material needed for the 'basic' drug
info for exam. Just a couple of simple to the point knowledge questions
thrown in just relieve anxiety plus to see that students are on the right
track. Many of us interpreted various questions quite differently due to
varying levels of experience.]
[Have more test so that we can
spend more time on one individual subject]
[I
feel that the first test had a huge amount of information. If two test had
been given that would have allowed for better absorption of the
material.]
[Space the classes out a little -
there seems to be far too much information in class at the one time. The
Pharmacology lab time is insufficient. Why is it we get an overload in
Foundations, a lot of what has been covered in other classes - the
majority of that information is not as critical as Pharmacology. Practice
tests would be beneficial, maybe 10 questions each lab time on the subject
we are learning. Marlene. PS I scraped through my foundations test 78 and
I was given an extra 2 points for my first exam so I have 78 for both of
them. I don't seem to have any problems doing anything else, just trying
to get my head around how to answer the questions. Have been reviewing
Test SUccess and will see a tutor this week too. Any help that you can
offer would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Marlene.]
[I am
a hands on learner, so any chance to learn or practice what I have learned
with a hands on technique would help me to learn the material better. I
realize this is probably not possible in most aspects of the class, but
any advice on how I could study on my own time with the technique that
works best for me would be GREATLY]
[I meant to say GREATLY
appreciated, but I accidentally sent it to soon. Sorry I had to fill out
another one just to tell you that. Thanks]
[I
think that everything that is being covered is helping me I would like a
little more attention on the Math because that is the area that I need the
most help. Other than that I think the lectures are very helpful and
informative. You guy's do a great job!!!]
[the
second computer lab was interesting but not very helpful. i personaly like
it when the math is actually taught to me even if it isn't a very long
lesson it just helps get some of what i learned way back when to see it
done again instead of just looking at it already done. having the
powerpoints ahead of class is a huge help (thank you) i really like the
way you teach the class you only cover the important things and the fact
that you tell us what in the book we need and don't need]
[Possibly review learning questions that are not "cut and dry"
in class that students may have a question on; Also, to recap prototype
drugs briefly in class at the end of seminar discussion on that chapter
would help solidify drug information tremendously!!]
[I am
more of a on hands learner so any type of learning of that nature helps me
out a lot. Another thing that helps a lot are the test prep sessions. By
these we know exactly what to concentrate on. Mybe even a takehome review
exam might even help more!! :)]
[I understood this first exam
well because I was very familiar with most of the drugs we studied. But
with this next exam coming up I feel we should have spent more time
getting familiar with the CVS and anti-diabetic drugs, like we had with
the last exam. I wish we had as much time in this class as we do in
foundations, and less time in foundations...a lot of people agree with me
on this matter.]
[more lab time]
[Ms
Guimond, since I am taking this class for the second time I have seen an
imporvement from last semester and would suggest that it remain this
way.]
[The materials in this semester are much better and were given
in advance which give students more time to prepare and study for the
lecture. The lectures in this semester were clear and explained well. The
test subjects that were covered on the test were also emphasized and
greatly helped students to remember them.]
[more
time. Smile]
[more practice test
questions]
[i think both of our teachers do
a great job at covering the material we need to learn. everything is
helpful]
[more seminar assignments on all
or most of the material]
[More time learning from book
material. As far as knowing where to look, and what to look for (like how
Mrs. Woodsberry initially did it).]
[MAKE MORE TEST LIKE QUESTIONS
AND THROW THEM AT US. THANK YOU.]
[there is not enough time spent
on the nursing math in class.]
[perhaps quizes on the different
meds would encourage to learn meds...i don't feel like i"m learning enough
about each med]
[Both of you rely on us to
download the powerpoints,therefore rushing thru the lectures and not
giving us enough time to write down notes as you lecture. Other than that
keep up the good work! Take care E. Reed] |
