1 | Timestamp | Email Address | What period do you have math with me? | How did it go? | If you don't mind, I'd appreciate hearing what you liked or did not like about using the cards to call on people in class. | I try to make my class a place students feel safe. Did you feel comfortable contributing to the classroom conversation? (Did you feel okay speaking out loud in class when called on?) | Do you think I did a good job of valuing your thought process more than whether or not you got the 'right' answer? | Would you mind elaborating on your previous responses? Was there anything I could have done differently to make you feel more comfortable sharing your thinking? | Did this class help you become more confident in your ability to be successful in math? I'm not asking whether you know more information now than you did at the beginning of the year (I hope that is true). I'm also not asking about whether you got a "good" grade in my class. I want to know how you 'feel' about your math abilities. | How was the pacing of the class? | How well do you feel Mr. Busch understands what math you do or do not know? | I used several of different methods to try to get a handle on what you did or did not know: observation of in-class work, classroom discussions, exit tickets in Alg 1, etc. Are there methods you would like me to use more? Are the methods you would like me to use less? | Would you like to make a comment about any of the above, this would be a great time to do it. | Do you have any comments on things that worked well? | Are there specific areas in which I can improve as a teacher? | Formulas: Class and Pacing | Formulas: Class and Confidence | |||||
2 | 5/16/2018 9:02:26 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked that there was no way to show favoritism, and everyone had to have the answer in case they got called on, instead of just one person knowing the answer every time, and everyone else just letting them answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think that it was great. Even if we got it wrong, you still helped. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that more of the complex problems that require us to think a lot would be good. | I liked the class. I think that sometimes I did badly on tests, even though I understood the material. | I liked that doing the work actually mattered, and it was not just "did you get the right answer". | No, not really. This has been one of the best math classes I have ever taken, and one of the best classes overall this year. Thank you so much. | GR | GM | ||||||
3 | 5/16/2018 9:03:13 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | It made everyone ready to be called up, because it is random | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Well, sometimes, it would feel weird when you came up and gave the wrong answer, but otherwise it was fine. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think the way you are doing it now, is fine | I don't have any comments | reviewing the homework the next day | No, all around you were a great teacher | GR | GM | ||||||
4 | 5/16/2018 9:04:12 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought that in class work and discussions were the most helpful. | I liked having students present the answers and how we had open discussions in class. | I can't think of anything specific. | GR | GM | |||||||||
5 | 5/16/2018 9:04:18 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I thought that the cards were a helpful way to make people talk, and at the same time sometimes I got called on from the cards but didn't know the answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | You did a good job making class participation comfortable. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked how you used multiple methods to determine what I understood, because sometimes on my tests I understood things, but just was in a really bad headspace and didn't do well. | Your class was really fun and I learned a lot. | No. | GR | GM | |||||||
6 | 5/16/2018 9:04:24 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Put an option for the how did it go for in the middle please. I liked the class but didn't like the complete the square thing. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | It was nice because even if I got something wrong on a practice as long as I understood it it was ok | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think all of the methods are fine just a bit less notes and more time for working on practice | nope | Almost everything | No | GR | GM | ||||||
7 | 5/16/2018 9:04:50 | 1st period - Geometry | I didn't like it. | If you didn't know the answer, you were sort of just put on the spot. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | No, I felt like you only wanted me to say the 'right' thing. | People should raise their hands for answers and sometimes I'm not done with the problem and I get called. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I don't know | no | I feel that the review in class work days were helpful. | I don't know | GR | GS | ||||||
8 | 5/16/2018 9:05:29 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Sometimes, it seemed like they didn't get mixed up that well. It was also kind of stressful if you didn't know the answer | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think you did a good job of evaluating | I liked the cards a lot, and there was usually a good amount of homework | Sometimes, the homework was overwhelming, and sometimes it was about 3 problems. It was kind of hard to know how much time to budget for homework, but it doesn't need to be changed | GR | GM | ||||||||
9 | 5/16/2018 9:05:38 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I really liked the randomness of the cards. It forced everyone to be ready to participate. Keep doing it! | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | You are a very open person, allowing for a very free-thinking class. You saying "lets elaborate" rather than you are wrong made me feel better about myself even though that my answers were completely wrong. Structuring the questions in steps of "drafts" helped us go through the process, and understand the concept better. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I really like the fun real-world scenario problems. It helped me think about what applications this concept had in the world. | The pacing of the class was very fast for me, and I am not a fan of that. Having enough time to get the concept really helps me, and I think due to the pacing, I didn't learn enough... | I liked the system of notes, and the system of Concept, quiz(maybe), more notes, then test... it is very effective to stager the learning in order to help refine and understand the concept. | I would say just to be more aware of time. We as a class have a habit of going past the bell, and due to this, I have been late to my classes several times... [My note: this student was habitually late leaving class] | GF | GS | ||||||
10 | 5/16/2018 9:06:08 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I think is was okay since it gave everybody an opportunity to participate, but sometimes it was stressful because you never knew when you would be called on and sometimes I didn't know the answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I thought it was good that we had to walk through our thinking process because whenever someone did that and I didn't get the right answer, I was able to understand it. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought it was good since you knew what we were capable of and you didn't push us way too much. You still pushed us to do more, but not too much that it was over the top. | Sometimes the class was a little fast, but overall it was at a good pace and I was able to keep up. | I thought the questions on the homework and the reviews we do before tests was really helpful. Also, I like talking with my table group before we talk as a whole class. | I don't know | GR | GM | ||||||
11 | 5/16/2018 9:06:31 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I think it was a good way to make sure that students are engaged and understand the concepts. It also started conversation when sometimes no one had anything to say. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think that you did a great job of maintaining a good mix of supporting students in understanding concepts and still leading us in the right direction | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that in observation of class work, you would be able to get a good understanding of how students are doing in your class. | The slideshow presentation of giving notes worked well, and I liked the worksheets that stimulated deeper thinking of concepts we already know. | No, I think that you are doing a great job in supporting students in the mathematics abilities. | GR | GM | |||||||
12 | 5/16/2018 9:06:54 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked it because not only the smart people were answering the questions and others got to work it out. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I thought you did a very good job at making sure people learned and understood what was going on and didn't just need the right answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked the methods you used and I thought they were very helpful in bettering my learning abilities. | I really liked your class and I enjoyed taking it and learning more and understanding more and becoming a stronger student. | The checking homework worked well to see the mistakes and understand the mistakes that were made. | No, I think you did a good job teaching us and I really enjoyed your math class. | GR | GM | ||||||
13 | 5/16/2018 9:07:27 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Cards are good for calling on people equally instead of the same people getting called on again or some people never getting called on. I didn't like how I was sometimes called and didn't know the answer which was embarrassing. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Not getting called up to the board. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would like to see in-class work a little more. | I felt like the class went to fast because sometimes we would only spend 6-7 days on a unit and then there would be a test. I know that is the books fault, but it would have been great if we slowed down a little. | No. | Not that I can think of. | GF | GM | ||||||
14 | 5/16/2018 9:07:29 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked how it made me more engaged with the conversation. I didn't like how I was called on for questions I couldn't answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | The classroom is a safe place, even if I get the wrong answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I don't like exit tickets. | My overall experience with this class was pretty great. | No | No | GR | GM | ||||||
15 | 5/16/2018 9:07:49 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | It was fine but I felt a lot of pressure to answer questions that I didn't know the answer to. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I usually feel open to sharing my thinking, but the cards put more pressure on me. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | maybe for each note section do a short activity. Just activities I feel like I don't know the concept well enough, but I like the "real life" aspect and just notes teaches me theorems and concepts well, but activities could be helpful. | Proofs are confusing because of all the theorems to memorize. spend more time on those? | I always feel supported in this class. You are my favorite teacher :) | no | GF | GS | ||||||
16 | 5/16/2018 9:08:29 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the fact that everyone could contribute to the discussion and it wasn't always people who raised their hands. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Not really. I really liked the idea of building on to someone's thinking even if the solution wasn't necessarily correct. That also made going up easier because there wasn't as much pressure to have a correct answer or a perfect solution method. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I really liked the methods used, and I felt that there was an understanding of what we knew or didn't know. | Could we do more challenge problems like the track problem or the soup can problem? | I really liked the combination of notes, homework, and challenge problems. I feel like I really understood the material with that system. | No, I really liked your teaching style, and I learned a lot. | GR | GM | ||||||
17 | 5/16/2018 9:09:30 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked doing a lot of in-class work and classroom discussions as it helped me understand the topics well. I think you should do more in-class stuff. | In-class work time worked very well, as the students could ask the teacher questions. | None that I can think of. | GR | GS | |||||||||
18 | 5/16/2018 9:15:19 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | Helped include everyone. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | no | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think most of those methods worked fine. | A little less homework. I did well on most of the tests and still did very little homework solely because I believed that it was busy work. However, even though I understood the topics and did well on most tests, the homework checks wrecked my grade. This provides a false representation on how well I understand certain topics. | N/A | Maybe give students a little more flexibility in extensions and stuff. I do competitive club soccer, drums, and mountain biking. I also have a lot of injuries with my legs that are manageable, but only with PT. I go to physical therapy about once or twice a week and usually have morning appointments. This means that I miss class at least once and upwards of two times a week. With that in mind, I have a lot of commitments that I must attend after school every day as well. However, I sustained great difficulty in completing homework and occasionally had difficulty contacting you in a way that would help me makeup class time and homework without having to stay up until 1 in the morning to finish work, which I eventually stopped doing and therefore my grade dropped considerably. I like you as a teacher but this definitely put a huge damper on my enjoyment for this class and eventually made me dread it. | GR | GS | ||||||
19 | 5/16/2018 9:15:45 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I think that it is good because it has everybody contribute | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I don't really like talking in class, but it is the way it kinda has to be. Also, I really liked how you gave us points for knowing the answer despite maybe getting a wrong answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | You could probably reduce the observation of in-class work. | I think that there is too much homework to cement it in my brain. I think that I don't needed all of that to understand it well. I think that the probability unit went too fast though, but maybe it's just because I missed two days. | I think that the concepts and the grading went really well. I also liked what happened in class. | No, I think that you are a pretty great teacher :) | GS | GM | ||||||
20 | 5/16/2018 9:32:42 | 1st period - Geometry | It went well. | I felt that the card idea worked well, because different people were called on, and everyone always had to be prepared in case they were called, so it encouraged people to actually do the work. I think that overall it was helpful, and I can't really think of a large negative regarding this method. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | In regards to the second question, I felt that you did this very well. Not only does accepting all answered make people feel better if they didn't have the right answer, it lets that person clearly understand what they did wrong, because their classmates find out what is the problem with their answer. In regards to the first question, you are always friendly and happy to help us, but you also guide us to understand what the right answer is, and why, when we do not get it correct the first time. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that I did like the classroom discussions; they allowed us to all figure out problems as a group, and make us learn the information better, because we are figuring it out and dissecting it, rather than just being taught and told it. Also, methods like binder-checks allow you to understand how our homework is going, and also giving us some extra time to do homework if we are not able to that night. Also, binder checks are very effective because if you are absent, then you have time to do work you were gone for and are not freaking out because there is no time and you are too busy. | I think that the pace of class is very good, and you do a very good job of teaching so that we comprehend, remember, and understand the information so that we do well on a test and don't have to do a large amount of additional studying, which helps to keep the pace feeling right. I also think that you do understand the math I know, as all of these methods show you how I am doing in regards to homework, tests, and in-class work. | I think that overall the class went well; I felt that I understood the information well, and you and you're methods worked very well to teach us all. I think that it was a very successful year. | One suggestion I do have is that I think you should make your slideshows more clear for when substitutes come in to teach us. Mrs. Lapp had a lot of trouble teaching us, because you often skip over slides, or don't take much time with a select few of the slides, while she didn't know that, and tried to go over every slide. Also, when you give us a presentation, there is a lot of info that is not on the slideshow, which Mrs. Lapp was not able to understand or teach us without searching through the text book. So, maybe just try to make your slideshows more clear for substitutes. | GR | GM | ||||||
21 | 5/16/2018 9:49:44 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the cards because everyone answered questions instead of just 1 person. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I enjoyed asking questions instead of worrying about being judged. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No, it was fine | No | I learned a lot more than I did last year. | No. | GF | GM | ||||||
22 | 5/16/2018 9:50:36 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | It meant that every student got called on and it kept you from being able to single out specific students. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No. I felt very comfortable sharing my thinking in class. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I really liked the classroom discussions and wish we did those more often. Also, the tangents that you'd go off on were interesting even if they weren't about math. | I like the way you grade home works and tests because it should be more about if someone understands how to do it then if someone gets the right answer. | Not that I can think of. I really enjoyed this class. | GR | GM | |||||||
23 | 5/16/2018 9:51:26 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | If I'm honest, this year wasn't good for me. I'm less confident in my abilities as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No, I believe that all the methods were great. | I enjoyed the in class work problems that challenged your thinking. | No | GR | GL | |||||||||
24 | 5/16/2018 9:51:31 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I like the fact that it included everyone's opinions but sometimes I got called on with the cards when I wasn't ready to answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | um not really. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions don't really show how good some people are at math. Some people might be good at math but they don't want to speak out and they might be shy. | Nope ;) | The in class worksheets and big problems worked well because they were challenging and you got to work with other people. | Not really | GR | GM | ||||||
25 | 5/16/2018 9:52:23 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | cards were good because they had everyone talk | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | It was good we could start to answer questions even if we didn't know the answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions are good | ok | The problems like the track problem and the gas tank problem were much more enjoyable than homework from the textbook | no | GR | GM | ||||||
26 | 5/16/2018 9:53:15 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | Sometimes people didn't know the answer to the question, so it made them uncomfortable. However, this system encourages everyone to talk. It has its pros and cons. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | You made me pretty comfortable. There was not much more that you could do. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think it would be better if there was an entrance exam in the start of the year that tested you on your geometry abilities. It shouldn't be like the BVSD test or PARCC. | For the second question I was more in the middle. Also, for the first question I would say that this class could go a bit faster in some areas, but a bit slower in some others Overall, it should go faster though. | I think that binder checks are a good system of homework. | You could be more engaging with each student, but that is pretty hard to do. You are a pretty good teacher right now. | GR | GM | ||||||
27 | 5/16/2018 9:53:16 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I think the system worked well | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No, I think that even if I got the question wrong, I still felt like I learned something. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | More classroom discussions | I think if the pacing of the class was a little slower, the class would be better because of it. | The card system worked well | I think for some quizzes and tests, the number of points taken off for one question was too much | GF | GS | ||||||
28 | 5/16/2018 9:53:29 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I don't care which one you use | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I don't care what methods are used | Pacing of notes was perfect | not really | GR | GS | ||||||||
29 | 5/16/2018 9:53:34 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked it because it gave everyone a chance to speak, and nobody dominated the conversation. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I like contributing to the conversation in class, and I like speaking, so that wasn't really an issue. Also, I like how you valued the first draft thinking. I think that was really effective. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought that was good. I was learning a lot of new things in your class, but there was nothing that I needed to know that you did not teach me. | Maybe a bit of review of Algebra 1 would be great to set up for Algebra II Trig next year. | I liked the notes format. That really worked well for me. I also liked how you did the extension problems sometimes in class. That really stretched my thinking and made me understand the real-world application of what we were learning. | Maybe make homework checks more common, so that students who struggle to do their work on time have to stay more on top of it and they have more guidance. Otherwise, I really liked your class. | GR | GM | ||||||
30 | 5/16/2018 9:53:53 | 2nd period - Geometry | I didn't like it. | A lot of the time I knew the answers to the questions, and I wasn't chosen to answer. But it was really awkward when I was called on and I didn't know the answer. I felt embarrassed, but I shouldn't have because it was one question that I didn't know. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I really appreciate how you go over every problem on the test and look at our thought processes rather than simply saying it's correct or incorrect based off of the answer because sometimes, I would do everything right, and then make a very basic and stupid mistake. By looking over the entire problem, my grade was probably saved multiple times. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I really liked using whiteboards and doing the challenge problems. I don't know if that applies to this question, but those were really fun, and I was very proud of myself when I got them right. | Thank you for a wonderful year! I have learnt so much! | I think that most everything worked well for me. | No way! You are an awesome teacher. :) | GR | GS | ||||||
31 | 5/16/2018 9:54:01 | 2nd period - Geometry | I didn't like it. | Sometimes I didn't know the answer so it was stressful. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | You wanted me to explain my answers even if they were wrong so I could contribute to the class discussion. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would like less cards to call on people and get their feedback. | no | I think the notes helped me learn the material very well. | Allow food in class. | GR | GM | ||||||
32 | 5/16/2018 9:55:23 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | It made people answer instead of having their mind wander. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No it was just me having trouble sharing | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I generally don't like exit tickets (though I didn't get any in this class). In class work is good. | The phrase "put your head down" really helped people to stay on focus. | Less proofs | GR | GM | |||||||
33 | 5/16/2018 9:55:38 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | Sometimes I wanted to speak but I wouldn't raise my hand so the cards forced me to answer questions. They help people pay attention. But they can be stressful when I don't understand the material. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Sometimes the time to do the question is too short so I will have to do the question as I am answering the question, or it is too long. Well I don't always like showing my work so you sort of forced me to show my work. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would like you to use problems during notes more because that helps me understand the information and stick it in my brain because I am actually using it. | I liked how you let us work with partners who we can work well with, this helped me understand the material better. Can we do test reviews in class, not with the textbook, but with you. | I really liked the low stress classroom feeling, how we are practicing math, not being tested on it every day. | You can unintentionally put people on the spot in a way that may make them afraid to answer other questions. But mostly, no. | GR | GM | ||||||
34 | 5/16/2018 9:55:43 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I think the cards were a good idea since they got everyone involved. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Not really, I felt comfortable sharing my ideas and thinking. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | These methods worked well from my perspective. | Make every question into third person. | Mr. Busch has a very good teaching style that was very helpful in the process of me comprehending the math. | Not really. | GR | GS | ||||||
35 | 5/16/2018 9:55:49 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked that everyone had a chance to get called on, but I feel like sometimes students wouldn't know the answer when they were called on or students didn't have a chance to show their knowledge. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt very comfortable sharing my thinking! I wouldn't change anything. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would have liked more classrooms discussions and challenge problems, I found those fun. There are no methods I would want you to use less. | I thought the class was well paced for me, which was really nice. I know that it might have felt different for other people, but sometimes thats what has to happen. | I really enjoyed the challenge problems we did. I also liked how we were always using old lessons to do the current work, which helped reinforce the knowledge that we learned early on in the year. In most classes, I forget what I learned about a topic the day after the test, but not in math. | Not always just giving us notes and talking at us- ex. have something in probability where we roll dice and see the results | GR | GS | ||||||
36 | 5/16/2018 9:56:08 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the card option because it gave an opportunity for all people to demonstrate their learning, not only those people who felt comfortable raising their hands. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | There wasn't anything you could have done to make me feel more comfortable sharing my thinking. I really felt that my first draft thinking was what I was supposed to show, and even if it wasn't correct, it was still valued. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I feel that the in-class discussions really helped me learn, so I would recommend using these more. | I feel that the pacing went varied slightly, but the average pacing was just right. | Again, I want to emphasize that the in-class discussions worked really well. | Not in the experience that I had. | GR | GM | ||||||
37 | 5/16/2018 9:57:51 | 2nd period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked how it motivated people to do the problem quicker. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Nothing. You did enough | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | More classroom discussions would be nice | I liked the questions on homework | More explanation on the questions on the lessons. | GR | GS | |||||||
38 | 5/16/2018 11:27:59 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | It was nice in getting other students to answer, but kind of annoying if you wanted to get called on. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No, I felt comfortable. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No, not really. | No, not really. | No, you're a good teacher. | GR | GS | |||||||
39 | 5/16/2018 11:29:21 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the variety of opinions and the ability to track who's paying attention. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No, not really. Everything was quite decent for sharing thoughts. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions of activities (such as track activity). Those are fun and educational. | N/A | Yes, the activities in-class were really fun and I learned a bit more than from just homework. | No, not really. Maybe being more strict towards unruly children, but otherwise OK. | GS | GM | ||||||
40 | 5/16/2018 11:30:04 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the fact that it was random and everyone could get involved | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt very comfortable in the environment | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | NA, I liked the class as it was. Maybe more worksheets and real world problems | Lots of things worked well, I liked the real world applications the most | The binder checks didn't represent my learning as well as it should have, making my end grade not very representative of who I am as a student | GR | GM | |||||||
41 | 5/16/2018 11:31:15 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked having to answer random questions because it helped us know more types of questions better. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No I think that they are mostly good. | I liked the reviews, because they were good practice for the test. | No not really | GR | GM | |||||||
42 | 5/16/2018 11:32:13 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | The cards were good in that they enabled all students to explain their thinking and their answers and so that it enabled them to see what was wrong. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | It was fine for me because if you and all the students can get the first draft thinking, from there we can all elaborate and find out what was wrong with the first draft thinking. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No. Everything was fine for me. | None. | None. | GR | GM | |||||||
43 | 5/16/2018 11:32:26 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | It gave other people a chance to answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No, I think it was fine the way it is. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No exit tickets, those are annoying. I like the problems (like the gas tank problem) that are larger an are not book work. | I think the pacing of the class was nice because it wasn't really slow. | Maybe a little less notes. | GR | GS | |||||||
44 | 5/16/2018 11:32:36 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | It worked fine. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Some things I like to think about in my head which just adds extra work if I have to write down every single part of my thinking | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Don't do more exit tickets as they are just a less fun way of showing learning, especially when it is for a grade | The investigations worked well as they involved real world problems | I am not sure | GS | GS | |||||||
45 | 5/16/2018 11:33:03 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I think cards were ok, but I think that you should only use them when people are unwilling to participate and allow people to pass. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think the use of methods with just right with a mix of in-class work on somedays and classroom discussions on others | Having notes and mixes of in class work days on specific problems worked well. | Use cards when needed, but not all the time. | GR | GS | ||||||||
46 | 5/16/2018 11:34:07 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | Cards were a good method to call on students who wouldn't normally contribute to class. I liked not having to compete at hand-raising. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt that you as a teacher helped encourage "first-draft thinking", as you referred to it, which helped grow confidence and let us learn. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Not particularly. Everything seemed alright. | Some parts of the class were a bit too slow in pacing, like the similar triangles area, but some were too fast, like probability. These differences in pacing aren't that noticeable and don't affect me too much, but I did notice them. | Not any particular thing. I felt the class worked pretty well. | Not that I see. In Summit, I feel that you are in the top ranks of teachers. | GR | GM | ||||||
47 | 5/16/2018 11:34:35 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked how you alternated between cards and just calling on people; It allowed everyone to speak but gave those who wanted to share slightly more opportunities. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I am a very outspoken person and have never had trouble sharing my thoughts, so I am probably not the best test subject, but for what it is worth I felt completely comfortable | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | My favorite method was using tougher, more complex problems and then having class discussions. I liked that because it made it easy to work together to understand the concept while also helping you asses the class. | I liked pretty much everything about the class, I always was excited for fourth period. I always felt safe and like I was learning meaningful things in your class. | My one suggestion would be to not assign the first and second problems in the book; they were always pretty easy and redundant. | AR | AS | |||||||
48 | 5/16/2018 11:34:42 | 4th period - Geometry | I didn't like it. | It always seemed to happen that when I knew the answer I didn't get called on, and when I didn't know the answer I DID get called on, so it worked better when I could raise my hand when I knew the answer and not raise my hand when I didn't. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Maybe if no one could figure out why someone was getting the wrong answer, then they could do their work up on the board so people could stop them when they saw them doing something incorrectly. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions are good but I feel that only a few people's voices are heard by the teacher during those because not every person is called on. | It would be great if after each lesson there could be some time devoted to just going around the room and seeing if anyone has questions because that would probably help a lot of people who have the same questions. | A safe classroom environment was very supported and math class was very fun most of the time. | Just to make sure that every kid is getting their questions answered. | GR | GM | ||||||
49 | 5/16/2018 11:34:53 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked the performance tasks that we did during Chapter 11, because it relates math to real world problems and applications. It was fun to solve problems that were here for purposes other than learning the concept. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think you did a great job moderating the class. I don't think you would need to change anything based on my experience. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I enjoyed the performance tasks and real world application problems. | The only reason for why I felt the pace was slow was because I've already learned a lot of the things. | I think it would be great to do more application problems. | I don't think so. The environment of the math class is really interesting and enjoyable. | GS | GM | ||||||
50 | 5/16/2018 11:34:56 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I kind of liked it because everyone got to share what they were thinking, and they could choose to pass if they wanted | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | It was good | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought that class discussions were good because it felt like as a class we could tell whether we understood it or not. | Office hours was really helpful because if I was confused I could go to office hours and come out understanding it, or at least knowing what I need to do to understand it. | I thought the way you added humor to your class made it much more fun than other classes I have taken. | I mostly enjoyed it. Maybe there could be certain office hour times that are used to specifically study for the tests. | GR | GS | ||||||
51 | 5/16/2018 11:35:41 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I liked it but sometimes I was called when I did not understand the problem. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I liked when you valuated out process as well because when I make dumb addition mistakes that had nothing to do with the unit we are in, I could still get credit. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I was unaware that any of those methods occurred. I feel that if I do not understand something I will ask a question when we are checking our homework. | I felt that some parts of the class were too slow while other parts we quickly went over complicated subjects. | I really liked the tests and quizzes because if you do the homework and pay attention in class you will almost always get a good grade. I feel that this is how all quizzes/tests should be, but some other classes have tests that are much harder than the homework, which is stressful. | Not really. Out of all of my teachers you are one of my favorites and I enjoy your teaching style. | GR | GM | ||||||
52 | 5/16/2018 11:35:56 | 4th period - Geometry | It went well. | I enjoyed the cards because it made sure we knew the content. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | As long as I came prepared to class I felt safe and I was with many of my friends so that made sure I was comfortable. Next, it was very helpful to know my answer didn't have to be right just it had to be contributing to the class. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | For me exit tickets in Alg 1 were the least useful of the methods due to many already had a strong understanding. | Nope. | Nope | Nope they was good enough for me! | GR | GS | ||||||
53 | 5/16/2018 11:36:25 | 4th period - Geometry | I didn't like it. | I did not like the cards very much because if someone did not know the answer, and their card got drawn, then it would put them on the spot when they did not want to be put on the spot. | No, not really. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Nope. That just about covers it. | If I'm honest, this year wasn't good for me. I'm less confident in my abilities as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that classroom discussion helped, and that would be something to use more. | Checking the HW but not turning it in was helpful. | Maybe no cards next time. | GR | GL | |||||||
54 | 5/16/2018 12:54:10 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked the cards especially since it was the best and most fair way to pick people. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Sometimes I didn't know the answer but I felt like I had to answer. I forgot that I could say "pass". | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Yes I liked all the methods that were used to show how people handled their work. | Tests and review before the tests were my favorite parts | Sometimes when I knew the topic that we were learning well I didn't really feel like doing the homework because I already knew the topic. I also think that some of the packets should be shorter. | AS | AS | |||||||
55 | 5/16/2018 12:54:50 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It encouraged me to speak when I knew the answer didn't raise my hand | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Make sure the other students are respectful to the people talking. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I really enjoyed exit tickets but maybe not going over them the next day. | I was able to learn everything I didn't learn last year in Mr. Seibel's class because your class had more notes, class discussions, and you were more involved in everyone's learning | I liked how hands on you were | let classes chose their seating occasionally | AS | AM | ||||||
56 | 5/16/2018 12:55:26 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It went well especially since if people didn't know what to say you allowed them to skip their turn. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think that it you did it really well and that you focused on draft hiking rather than the 'correct' answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Exit tickets were really useful as well as looking over mistake cards so we can look at common mistakes and how to prevent them. I think the other methods are good methods for assessing knowledge. | I think that everything worked well and I understood the material that we were talking about. | I think that you did great and I really enjoy math more than before because I understand it better. | AR | AM | |||||||
57 | 5/16/2018 12:56:04 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | nothing | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | There were homeworks were we did over 10 problems that were on the exact same thing that also took over 5 minutes each and I felt like it was really repetitive and time wasting. | Using the white boards to draw graphs and situations. | Less book work, it felt really repetitive doing the same concept for more than 15 problems. | AS | AS | ||||||||
58 | 5/16/2018 12:56:45 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked that you used them when no one would answer because once the discussion was started more people would have input. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think that I learned a lot from my mistakes | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | The exit tickets can be confusing sometimes because people will make odd errors that are hard to specifically find but still are wrong. | I liked worksheets much more than book work, which was nice for our last unit. | None | AR | AM | |||||||
59 | 5/16/2018 12:57:05 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked being held responsible to try to learn | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I would like if you stated if an answer had many paths to get to it so I wouldn't have to worry when only one path was demonstrated | If I'm honest, this year wasn't good for me. I'm less confident in my abilities as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Observation of in-class worked worked really well for me | I enjoyed the real life problems such as the flood | nah | AS | AL | |||||||
60 | 5/16/2018 12:57:19 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | There wasn't a stalemate of answers very often. Also it made a wider variety of answers which was helpful at times. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Being able to say any answer was very helpful. I think one of the reasons some people don't talk is that they're afraid that people will make fun of their answer but this wasn't like that | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked most of the methods. The one I thought worked the best was the exit ticket one because then we could also review incorrect ones to find out what we did wrong and how to avoid making those mistakes. | The in-class work time for various things was often very helpful because if there was a topic that was confusing, you could get help | A few people I've talked two who are visual/tactile learners have said that they don't really get much out of the lessons. More hands on things for instance building the frequecy graphs with blocks would be a good addition. | AR | AM | |||||||

62 | 5/16/2018 12:57:21 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | The cards were good because everyone could participate But the cards also put pressure on people if they didn't know the answer and sometime they got annoying | No, not really. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | To call on people only if they know the answer or asking them if they want to give an explanation/answer instead of telling them to answer | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | no | Good Homework assignmets | Better way of teaching maybe | AF | AS | |||||||

65 | 5/16/2018 12:57:47 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | I think that people should choose when they volunteer in class, and sometimes it made me feel stressed out to be called on by a card when I knew that I did not know the answer to something. | No, not really. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I thought that you did a good job caring more about the process than the answer, but sometimes I did feel nervous in the classroom because a lot of the time I thought that everyone knew what to do besides me. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought that in class work observation was good and that you should do more of that! | I think that sometimes we should go over some sections more and often for me I felt like because I did not understand a days lesson, I would not do well on the homework because I would struggle with the understanding. | I think that the card sorts and the in class packets and things like that worked well. | Maybe trying to slow down some more during class and engage more with how everyone is doing, because not everyone will always be on track with what we are learning. | AF | AS | ||||||
66 | 5/16/2018 12:57:57 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | I didnt love the cards, because it seemed like some people got called in lots, but others rarely got called on, in idea they are great, so maybe keep the idea but change the form. | No, not really. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I am really quite bad at talking in front of the class, because I get nervous, so for me I didn't love having to talk in front of the class, but thats just me, so not a big deal. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought that the class overall was awesome. It felt like it was about 10 minutes, because it seemed as though you were always prepared with a lesson, and new exactly what and when you were going to talk about things. | Unit 8 I felt was a little fast, but it was not too bad, because I'm sure it was pretty much just me who didnt really understand it. | I thought that the Inclasa activities that were online were super fun. Like the desmos activities, and the Bit.ly activities. The ovrtall feel, and energy in the class seemed cool. I am also very thankful that you did not complain about your personal life, yet still built rapport with us by telling funny stories about your family, and connecting the class back to your hometown. | I do really poorly with book work, because it is really hard for me to copy down the question, answer it, and get the page numbers correct. I understand that book work means you have more time to spend with your family, which as a teacher I'm sure you dont get enough of given that you have to grade, and think up the next days plan almost constantly. However, if it is possible for you to add less bookwork, and more packets as homework that would be great!! | AR | AM | ||||||

Most of the time it was fine. I propose a lifeline that students can extend to their friends if they are called on and are uncomfortable. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No, I think class discussions could've had more of an impact however. | I enjoyed your class, I found some material hard but fair. | You talk about rough draft thinking a lot, but on homework you grade for completion/ accuracy. Sometimes on tests we can get credit for our work but not often. I believe if you were to implement another section split with the 20% hw section for rough draft thinking(in class discussion, work, exploring topics) it would help bolster our thinking processes. | AR | AM | |||||||
68 | 5/16/2018 12:58:12 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked that we didn't always hear from the same people, I also loved that if a mistake was made everyone was supportive because they were just cold called.

Like i said previously everyone seemed supportive, and I felt that I didn't always have to get things right, being confused was ok. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked the discussions a lot they were good for me even if I didn't contribute. I also liked the exit tickets because they helped be understand what I know, what others know, and how to find errors in math which is helpful for finding errors in my own work. | You are an amazing teacher! I feel like I learned a lot and am appreciative of your efforts | I liked the more casual feel, you made jokes yet talked seriously. I felt it was a great balance and I looked forward to coming to math for the first time in a while | I don't think so. I was really appreciative of you sending people out who were disruptive and keeping everyones be interests in mind. The only thing I really didn't like (which is not really something you can fix) was the competency of the subs. I don't feel like any sub knew what they were doing (please never hire Mrs. Lapp again, it was a terrible, terrible experience) | AR | AM | ||||||
69 | 5/16/2018 12:58:38 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I thought it was a good idea to get people who don't participate as much participate in the class discussions | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Nope, whenever I spoke in class i felt very comfortable | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I though Exit tickets were a good idea because the day after we would go through them and see what mistakes were made. Card sorts with partners was also very fun and it helped me learn. | I though all around the class was well paced possibly a bit faster paced at some parts but it was a good experience. | Nope | AR | AM | |||||||
70 | 5/16/2018 12:58:42 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | I hated it because I would get called on when I had no Idea what the answer was, but I felt like I had to go up and answer it. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | No, I felt like you only wanted me to say the 'right' thing. | I think you did an ok job at valuing my thoughts. There was some times when you valued it a lot, but there were other times when i felt like you didn't care at all. Also the reason I said yes for the first question was because there were times that I did feel fine with answering but there were other times when I had no clue what the answer was and I didn't want to speak. I dont think that the cards helped, it just made not want to go to math for fear that I would get called on. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too fast. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think more exit tickets would be better, an exit ticket after every lesson which would force me to work on the stuff we learned not just think about it. | I think that it would be better if we turned in the homework the day it was due. Over the course of the year I would turn in my binder but I wouldn't know that stuff had gotten ripped out in my bag so I would get lots of points off. It would be better to just turn the homework in the day it was due. | making notes for points. It makes people need to take notes. | Your elaborations, some were kind of confusing. Don't use the cards, they made me hate math because I was afraid of being called on. | AF | AM | ||||||
71 | 5/16/2018 12:58:51 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I think it was a pretty good thing and helped me see common mistakes that were made so I could not make the same things | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt fine speaking and not pressured to do the right thing. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I thought there was enough variation in the teaching methods but we say them a good amount of times so we knew what to expect. | It wasn't that I was completely in my answer for the first one, its just that I was in the lower math last year so the box plots were not good for me at first and I really did not get the quartiles 1 and 3 values until i did a few practices. If we did learn it last year, then I wasn't paying attention. | I learned things at a good pace to the point where I could understand what I was being taught. | I think just making sure students understand the concepts in the note cards and if they did anything wrong, hand it back to them | AR | AS | ||||||
72 | 5/16/2018 12:59:18 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It promoted getting an answer out and then working upon it | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I can't think of any constructive feedback for this. I thought you did very well | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that there should be more classroom discussion and a little more exit tickets | I felt that the organization of the units were great. | Check homework more to motivate to do homework. For example checking for completion the first time then the quality of the work in binder checks. | AR | AM | |||||||
73 | 5/16/2018 12:59:32 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I think the cards did keep everyone involved. However, sometimes I was called to answer a question that I didn't know which I disliked. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | You honored everyone's way of thinking which I think is important to do. Getting partial credit was great on assignments because I got credit for understanding the concept which is more important than getting the correct answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | The balance of all the methods was very effective. Maybe more exit tickets? | The binder checks worked very well. It was nice to turn everything in at once so that I could look back at previous assignments to help me with my homework. I also loved getting credit for taking notes! The style of notes was organized and I learned a lot from them. Also, it was so helpful that you put notes, and answer keys on schoology. | Nope. | AR | AM | |||||||
74 | 5/16/2018 13:00:01 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | I didn't like it because after speaking once at the beginning of the class I had to be silent and didn't get to answer questions (that I was the only person who knew the answer to) for the remainder of the day. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | For both of the previous questions it was difficult for me to gauge because I had no trouble speaking in class due to the fact that I knew the material. Also, my answers rarely had to be reviewed because the were correct over 90% of the time. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too slow. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Honestly I just feel like I didn't learn anything in this class until maybe one unit in April/May, I feel as though Mr. Busch didn't seem to understand that I knew the material before it was taught. | As I said, the class pace was much to slow. | Binder checks at the end of each unit. | Much less textbook work and much more packets and fun activities. | AS | AS | ||||||
75 | 5/16/2018 13:00:04 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I didn't like how often I was called on when I did not know the answer and how I wasn't called on when I did know the answer but it wasn't to bad. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I don't like speaking in front of the class anywhere but it was ok. I liked how the correct answer wasn't always important and how we could revise our work. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Sometimes I didn't like the cardsorts we did because we did them too often sometimes but I like doing different activities and they were still fun. | Sometimes we went a little to fast but for the most part it was good. | I liked having test and quiz review. | None :) | AR | AM | ||||||
76 | 5/16/2018 13:03:00 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | I feel like if some people didn't have the answer and they were called on it was embarrassing and they felt like they didn't want to contribute in fear of not knowing the answer | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | no it was alright | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too fast. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I don't know | I don't know | I think we went to fast and I had trouble keeping up | AF | AS | |||||||
77 | 5/16/2018 13:03:55 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It helped kids learn about the topic more by working through a project | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | no. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | no | Good lessons | The homework was kind of a lot at some points of the year but I could keep up with it. | AS | AM | |||||||
78 | 5/16/2018 13:40:57 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked that it made sure everyone was paying attention but I didn't like how sometimes you got called on when you weren't ready. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would like for you to have ways for people who already know the material to stay engaged in class. | I really enjoyed how you didn't judge only on the answer of a question. | It doesn't really relate to teaching but if you could try to think a bit less in binaries involving the frequent uses of "sir" and "ma'am" as I know it has made some people uncomfertable. Thank you! | AR | AS | ||||||||
79 | 5/16/2018 13:41:13 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | When it comes to math, I am pretty hard to please ,but I did not like the binder checks. They were stressful and there was little reward. You should assign less homework and do practice in class. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | no. you did a good job | If I'm honest, this year wasn't good for me. I'm less confident in my abilities as a math student. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions! | no | The notes were good | there are a few | AF | AL | ||||||
80 | 5/16/2018 13:41:25 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I thought that it made me have to talk in class sometimes, which I think was good for me. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt really comfortable and it was my favorite class. The environment in class was fun, and I also ended up learning a lot. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that the classroom discussions, in-class work, and the exit tickets were good. | Your teaching was really helpful and I felt like I understood math better than any year before. Your teaching was really helpful and made me feel more confident about my math skills. I am really grateful for all of your help for me as a student this year. | I can't think of anything. | AR | AM | |||||||
81 | 5/16/2018 13:41:41 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | I didn't like it. | You should call on people first, then if nobody has their hand up, use the cards. | No, not really. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Certain people criticize you when you speak. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Textbook HW | desmos activities | no | AR | AM | |||||||
82 | 5/16/2018 13:41:42 | 5th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | When people would constantly be engaged. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | No, I felt like you only wanted me to say the 'right' thing. | I never felt forced to answer. You always listened to what we where saying and never said someone was wrong. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I do not feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Exit tickets where good. homework should be less. it was pointless if the material was understandable. | no | the tests | binder checks and homework. | AS | AM | ||||||
83 | 5/16/2018 13:42:16 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked that it gave every student a chance and the ones who generally talk weren't alway talking | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked all of the methods, especially the exit tickets | :) | no | AR | AM | ||||||||
84 | 5/16/2018 13:42:50 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | Sometimes it was good and other times not so much. Sometimes I knew the answer and didn't get called on but then when I did get called on I did not know the answer. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think that they way you presented learning was very good. I never felt bad when I did not get the right answer because it helped me learn and improve. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think that exit tickets are good for you to know how much you know but we never figure out if we got our answer right. | I learned so much this year and felt like I actually understood math (which is not usual). Your style of teaching was very helpful to me. | No. I think your a great teacher. | AR | AM | |||||||
85 | 5/16/2018 13:42:55 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I like doing worksheets that we work on in class so that I can get help on something I don't understand, but not having to go to office hours and miss lunch or some after school time. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No you did good. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | nope everything was good | nope | Yes pretty much everything was good. There wasn't really ever a boring day in class. Notes were even pretty fun. | No you we're a great teacher | AR | AM | ||||||
86 | 5/16/2018 13:43:04 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | Because even if they were wrong you still got to see other people's perspectives. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | No it was fine. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Classroom discussions could be kind of boring some times. | When we did the unit on finding solutions or quadratics, I felt like completing the square and factoring were a waste of time and I would rather just learn the quadratic equation right away. | Homework load was fine, study buddies are great, test reviews are REALLY helpful | No you are one of my favorite teachers. Good luck! | AS | AM | ||||||
87 | 5/16/2018 13:43:10 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked the idea of every one participating | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt comfortable with answering questions in front of class. | I'm probably about the same as previous years. | Too slow. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I would like you to do more practice tests | I think you did great understanding what you did | The practice tests worked well | None | AS | AS | ||||||

89 | 5/16/2018 13:43:24 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked always being able to not have to raise my hand and just being able to focus on the question. I wish had been able to decorate our cards though :). | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt safe volunteering and even though I didn't always know the answer, I tried. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | Use less exit tickets.

96 | 5/16/2018 13:44:24 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I thought the class was interesting but I didn't like binder checks because it is hard to stay organized and plan forward to it | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think as long as you followed along it was mostly easy to answer | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I did not like card sorts | The desmos | hmmmm i dont think so | AR | AM | |||||||
97 | 5/16/2018 13:44:27 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I think it was good because you got to hear everyone's voices and I liked that it was a really supportive environment so if you messed up it doesn't really matter. Sometimes it was hard when you knew the answer a lot but then your card wouldn't get picked and you really wanted to call out or raise your hand but maybe you couldn't | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I felt super comfortable messing up and just making a mistake or saying something wrong because I knew that you didn't care if I got the right answer and just wanted to see my thinking. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I think the methods you used were really good and I felt challenged, but in a good way. | I feel like I did well understanding in this class and it was a good level of learning. | I think that the teaching was good, and the methods of teaching were good as well. I liked how the class was fun and interesting and you really tried to help us learn.

98 | 5/16/2018 13:45:08 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It went ok, but I felt as if I didn't get called on as much as some kids even though I wanted to participate. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | I think you did a good job with grading us with how well we did based on our work we showed and if we got closer to what we did. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | No I like the methods you use. | Nope I am good! | I liked the way you teach your class. | Nope! | AR | AM | ||||||
99 | 5/16/2018 13:45:47 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | I liked how it gave us a chance to learn from our mistakes and see if our answers were correct by sharing out loud. I wish that we got a chance to pass because some days I knew what I was doing and when I got called on and did it correct I was happy but other days when I didn't know what I was doing on the homework I wished I could have passed when my name was called. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Allow passes if you don't feel comfortable sharing but everyone has to answer at least once a week so that no one can just not answer if they don't want to. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Just about right. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I liked the exit tickets and then showing the other class's cards so that we can learn from our mistakes. | I feel as if some of the units went by a little fast. Also I really really really like it when we do practice tests in class because it gave me a chance to ask Mr. Busch questions. | Over all I think that everything was great! I just wish Math Scholars was both semesters because it was so great and it definitely helped me understand more. | Nope! I think you did great! :) | AR | AM | ||||||
100 | 5/16/2018 13:45:59 | 6th period - Advanced Algebra 1 | It went well. | It was nice that it was random so that it wasn't the same people always being called on. | Yeah, I was okay with it. | Yes, I thought you really wanted my first draft thinking not just the 'correct' answer. | Yes most of the time i felt comfortable showing my first time thinking but there were a select few times when a lot of people had been asking questions already and I felt like people would get upset at me if I asked another question because they just wanted to get to the next slide or something. | Yes, I am more confident as a math student. | Too fast. | I feel like Mr. Busch understands what math I know. | I don't really know I guess I liked the exit ticket ticket but when people were finishing before me i felt bad. | no | I liked the interactive projects lie the barbie drop. | Explaining how to do whats on the homework more because especially at the beginning of units I did not understand | AF | AM |
