Study sessions
Everything; the tests were extensive & covered the material there was not an overload on homework.
The lectures and study sessions.

Participation in experiments, critical thinking assignments & lectures.
Dr. D made it fun to be in class & learn the info. The study guides/sessions.

Learning about psychology, learning what it is and is not.
The lectures weren=t just dull & boring. She made them excited & fun.
The study guides before test.
Material is basic, not overwhelming. Dr. D=s experience in the field is very apparent, she is comfortable in discussing the theories of others as well as her own.
Covering more material not in the book which was very hard to understand. I was more interested in what the instructor had to say, and her experiences in the field.

Attend class regularly; attend EVERY study session; cheat off of a nerd.
Maybe a little more organization to the overall class. Not that it was unorganized, but this was the only thing I did not like.
Not change a thing
Stop using those damn slides every single day! Gets boring as hell!
Instill some sort of attendance policy or liven up the lectures a little to make people want to come to class (the bonus questions were a great idea).
Maybe make a smaller course to increase class participation
Keep doing what your (sic) doing
Provide same class, same instructor, smaller size, later time.
It=s ok as is.
Nothing
Get class more involved in answers, peers learn from peers better.
The best ways to improve this course would be to have more critical thinking or hands-on experiments to better understand material.
?
Maybe some new jokes (just kidding)
Add more demonstrations
It=s great! If it=s not broke, don=t fix it.
Nothing really best class I have taken so far
Focus more on certain areas.
Allow students more research participation.
There is no room for improvement. This is by far the best course I have taken in my 32 years at IPFW. Dr. D does a great job of teaching this course.
It is a good course, it could use to be longer (sic).
I don=t think you should do 5 experiments.
Follow test questions with the powerpoint more clearly. Not a problem though w/ study guide.
I wouldn=t change one thing.
Maybe more reminders before h/w is due.
Tell more stories.
More involvement of class.
Nothing, enjoyed class and lecture topics.
It is good the way it is right now. Doesn=t have to be improved.
