Maximum playload?

January 20th, 2010

Hmm, just got the aggregate course survey results from the College of Arts and Sciences for last semester’s KM/LIS 5433. One really startling statistic is that the course apparently was perceived by the students as having the lowest workload of all courses in the department “at a similar level.”

Don’t have the student comments yet, but I’m rather curious as to why this is so. There were actually more assignments than I usually give, and the final projects were actually more complex than I usually see. (See the 5433 “Virtual Project Fair” tab above.) And the “amount learned in this class” percentile was very high indeed.

Maybe because a lot of it didn’t seem like “work” to people?

Or maybe I just need to impose more rigid requirements?
