1. How long have you spent on the homework assignments? Did lecture and the reading prepare you for them?
I have spent between 3-5 hours on each homework assignment. Sometimes it is frustrating because I feel like a lot of the problems are repeats, or like all the parts aren't necessary to get the points across. Sometimes it could be shortened. Lecture and the reading do prepare me, but the problem is in lecture we go over exactly what is in the reading. We go over the exact proofs, examples, etc. that are in the book. I know how to read a book, so if lecture focused on more application of the theorems instead of repeating what the book said, then I would be able to be more prepared for the homework.
2. What has contributed most to your learning in this class thus far?
I have a clear understanding of the material because lecture is so clear. That really helps. You are one of the best professors I have had because you speak and write clearly, and you lecture at an appropriate pace and at an appropriate level of knowledge. I feel like I can really learn because it isn't over my head or unclear. I really appreciate that, and for me, how the professor teaches has a huge impact on my learning. So thank you.
3. What do you think would help you learn more effectively or make the class better for you? (This can be feedback for me, or goals for yourself.)
I think including in lecture more application of the theorems and definitions and stuff would be really effective because homework is a giant mathematical leap from the reading and the lecture. To bridge the gap, help us in lecture to understand application principles involved in the material to prepare us for the hard homework.
