1 She is very good at providing many different ways of looking at a concept so that it is easier for students to understand 11/18/2016 10:49 PM

2 no 11/18/2016 5:18 PM

3 The teacher was fun 11/18/2016 2:08 PM

4 The teacher is very knowledgeable and is able to simplify hard concepts into a way that is easily understandable. 11/18/2016 1:59 PM

5 she is very clear and it is obvious that she wants her students to learn. 11/18/2016 1:55 PM

6 nope 11/18/2016 1:55 PM

7 No 11/18/2016 1:44 PM

8 Very helpful during labs and very dedicated to make sure I understand the content. 11/18/2016 1:43 PM

9 A strength is she is really knowledgeable about chemistry, and she always answers my questions. 11/18/2016 11:10 AM

10 Ms. Lynch's explanations are very, very clear. In the first week of school, she explained a topic that I had been 11/18/2016 11:09 AM
struggling with since last year, and it immediately made sense to me.

11 She is good at being energetic and making the class fun she is also really good at giving harsh feedback so that we 11/18/2016 11:09 AM
can improve

12 She is very clear with her teaching and I really appreciated this with Chemistry. I understood everything she explained 11/18/2016 11:08 AM
to me.

13 Her snack bringing skills are unmatched, and she holds us to high standards, making us work and learn more and gain 11/18/2016 11:08 AM
a full comprehension of the content.

14 She is always really positive about class and learning. 11/18/2016 11:05 AM

15 Ms. Lynch has a way of teaching where everything is very clear and she always makes sure we understand everything 11/18/2016 11:02 AM
completely. She always makes sure to have analogy for every class so that it is easier for us to understand.

16 Is very engaged, helping the class become more engaged. Explains new and complex concepts very well. Helps out 11/18/2016 10:59 AM
when needed.

17 I like how Ms. Lynch uses different examples to explain something. 11/18/2016 10:59 AM

18 Ms. Lynch holds the best tutorials. 11/18/2016 10:21 AM

19 Ms. Lynch is always prepared for class and has a variety of activities for us to do so class is rarely repetitive. She is 11/18/2016 9:25 AM
also always willing to meet with you outside of class.

20 Writing important notes on the whiteboard and clarifying information is great! 11/17/2016 8:16 PM

21 Dr. P is extremely smart, and so he is wonderful to listen to. However, his brain moves so quickly and he has so much 11/17/2016 2:43 PM
to say that a lot of our class time is spent listening to a lecture which is not 100% helpful for me.

Q3 How can the teacher improve her/his

teaching so that students could learn more
effectively?

1 Keep being an awesome teacher. Sometimes I don't understand in class lectures, but when I come to tutorial, I 11/18/2016 5:18 PM
usually end up understanding the material.

2 more varied, fun activities so that the class would be a little more engaging. 11/18/2016 2:13 PM

3 make sure she keeps a fear and open mind to all students 11/18/2016 2:08 PM

4 Not sure... 11/18/2016 1:59 PM

5 maybe being clearer with comments on lab write ups 11/18/2016 1:55 PM

6 Maybe change the entropy unit, it was very confusing to me. 11/18/2016 1:55 PM

7 I think the teaching could be improved by maybe communicating with other teachers in Chem more because the 11/18/2016 1:44 PM
grading is a lot different between the two so it can be frustrating when one class is graded on completion and another
on content.

8 If possible, a more effective way of signing up for tutorial. 11/18/2016 1:43 PM

9 Give us a little more instructions on the labs. 11/18/2016 11:10 AM

10 Ms. Lynch could maybe spend more time going over handouts or tests. 11/18/2016 11:09 AM

11 I think she could improve by doing a smaller amount of lectures and demos so we can learn how to learn some more 11/18/2016 11:09 AM
things by ourselves.

12 She did a lot of lecturing in this class, which was helpful, but I think we could have done less of that because to a point 11/18/2016 11:08 AM
I just began to lose focus and not retain the information she was talking about.

13 Can't think of anything 11/18/2016 11:08 AM

14 I don't think there is much room for improvement, but I didn't find the demos really helpful (doing more labs with a 11/18/2016 11:05 AM
partner/small group makes me remember the material more).

15 I think everything she did was perfect! 11/18/2016 11:02 AM

16 Maybe a little more involved with labs while they're happening 11/18/2016 10:59 AM

17 Sometimes Ms. Lynch speaks very fast and I do not fully get what she is talking about, so maybe she could slow 11/18/2016 10:59 AM
down her speaking speed.

18 She could go slower when showing things on the whiteboard. 11/18/2016 10:21 AM

19 Ms. Lynch could give us more time to review in class after tests and quizzes so that everyone can get help with what 11/18/2016 9:25 AM
they did not know.

20 Maybe giving us 2 minutes to get water more often when we have lectures would be great. 11/17/2016 8:16 PM

21 Spend more time on labs. 11/17/2016 2:43 PM

1 We could have spent less time on IMF and chemical naming/equations. 11/18/2016 10:50 PM

2 I wish we had more time to practice the concepts , but if you think about it, the only way to get more time to do things 11/18/2016 2:38 PM
is to lessen the amount of new things we learn, so I'm not sure if it is possible.

3 I think the entropy and endo/exothermic reactions units could have used more time. 11/18/2016 1:57 PM

4 It was just right, but at some points I had catching up to do. 11/18/2016 1:44 PM

5 We could have spent more time with redox equations. 11/18/2016 11:11 AM

6 -- 11/18/2016 11:04 AM

7 The pace was just right. 11/18/2016 11:01 AM

8 More time on the intro to Moles 11/18/2016 10:22 AM

9 The pace was just right. 11/18/2016 9:26 AM

10 In the beginning of the trimester, the class was really slow, and then it sped wayyyy up. 11/17/2016 2:43 PM

you learn that you did not know or know
how to do before?
Answered: 22 Skipped: 3

1 I don't remember what lesson this was, but I remember the bike frame analogy that you used. It helped me a lot to 11/18/2016 5:38 PM
understand the topic.

2 The last project solidified my knowledge on acidity. It taught me how the experiments we did were related to the real 11/18/2016 2:38 PM
world, and connected to everything.

3 I like video we did at the end 11/18/2016 2:08 PM

4 I really liked the labs we did, such as the whoosh bottle. 11/18/2016 1:59 PM

5 I think the labs and phets can help put things in context. 11/18/2016 1:57 PM

6 I really enjoyed when we did the video because it was fun and creative 11/18/2016 1:56 PM

7 I really enjoyed the final project because it allowed for a lot of creativity and it was also nice seeing everyones' ideas 11/18/2016 1:44 PM
displayed in video form.

8 I really liked the final project and I learned a lot about ocean acidifcation and how it is a real big issue. 11/18/2016 1:44 PM

9 I learned a lot about batteries and redox reactions which is something that was new for me and very interesting 11/18/2016 11:14 AM
because it related to the real world.

10 The quizzes. Because I could see what sufficient explanations were, and flush out my understanding of the material 11/18/2016 11:12 AM
pre-test.

11 The equilibrium unit was very interesting and then relating it to the ocean was very interesting and fun. A nice way to 11/18/2016 11:11 AM
end the trimester.

12 The problem sets because they helped me understand how much I knew about the topics. 11/18/2016 11:11 AM

13 The Friday talks really we helpful for me to learn new things and were really good to teach us what good presenting 11/18/2016 11:11 AM
skills look like.

14 I think the problem sets are a great tool to help understand the material and prepare for tests. 11/18/2016 11:08 AM

15 The final project really helped me understand ocean acidification and how it works. 11/18/2016 11:05 AM

16 The very first unit we had was one of the best units because we went through some review and also learned about 11/18/2016 11:04 AM
IMF's very well.

17 Problem Set 3 reflects how I have been most successful. I learned conversions that I did not know before. 11/18/2016 11:01 AM

18 The final project was awesome. It required a variety of skills and helped us get a deeper understanding of not only the 11/18/2016 11:00 AM
chemistry but also the sincerity of an important issue.

19 the graph of endo and exo graphs and the balls that would bounce around. That was perfect. 11/18/2016 10:22 AM

20 I think the labs are very helpful for letting us see real examples of chemical reactions occurring. 11/18/2016 9:26 AM

21 I think learning about equilibrium really helped me. At first I was so confused but when we did all the experiments and 11/17/2016 8:17 PM
Ms.Lynch gave us a question to then present to the class really helped! Keep doing Do Nows!
