ASTL101 Assessment APPENDIX 3 TEXT OF QUALITATIVE ASSESSMENT OFFERED TO STUDENTS Objectives Every few years, I do a complete course assessment to obtain student input which helps me revise and update the course. Please note that you are being given one point extra credit for completing this assessment. My expectation in return is that you will spend a reasonable amount of time to provide thoughtful answers. One of the stated objectives of ASTL101 is: • Applying the scientific method, students will analyze a problem and draw conclusions from data and evidence. We do this during lab, in which I ask you to take data, and then come to come to conclusions from that data. For the following labs, please identify how well you feel each lab achieves this objective. I have given you a brief reminder of what each lab is about, but if you have done the lab and don't remember, please take a moment to look at the lab again to refresh your memory - this is really important as your evaluations will affect the lab choices available to students for the next several years. If you have not done some of the following labs, please leave those labs' entries blank. (Note OP17 and OP11 are each only available in selected sections) 1. In Lab OP1, Starry Night Tutorial, you learned how to use features of Starry Night, and then used the features of Starry Night on your own to determine what continent was visible to Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin when they landed on the Moon. Do you feel that this lab met the objective of "Applying the scientific method, students will analyze a problem and draw conclusions from data and evidence"? If you did not do this lab, please leave your answer blank. Strongly Strongly agree Agree Neutral Disagree disagree 2. In Lab OP3, Astronomical Coordinate Systems, you learned the difference between Horizontal Coordinates (azimuth and altitude) and Equatorial Coordinates (right ascension and declination). Do you feel that this lab met the objective of "Applying the scientific method, students will analyze a problem and draw conclusions from data and evidence"? Strongly Strongly agree Agree Neutral Disagree disagree - 17 -
