  12. 7. What are some topics you would like to learn about this semester? Top three recommendations given: • More projects and less notes (14) • Guest speakers (8) • More time in lab (7)

  13. Solutions Based on Research • Have students take notes in class via lecture and sometimes with textbook • Allow students to work partners • Allow students to pick partners • Set-up a field trip see the Bulls or the Bears Office • Do more projects and less notes • Bring in guest speakers • Plan more time in the lab (if possible)

  14. Research Limitations • Many of the students may have not taken the survey seriously. • Students may not havegiven their true thoughts for free response due to teacher influence. • Vague field trip options

  15. Possible Future Improvements • Offer survey online to maintain anonymity • Provide more detail for field trip question
