I finished it all.
Enjoyed learning most of it.
I feel the assignments are pretty thorough.
2. What two aspects of my submitted assignments do I believe could have used some improvement?
I'm not sure if the exercise lab is as detailed as you wanted.
3. What do I believe my overall grade should be for this unit?
I'm hoping for an A. I worked pretty hard on it.
4. How could I perform better in the next unit?
I'm still struggling with time management. It is now Easter night and I'm just completing this unit after spending several hours on it during spring break.
REGARDING THE UNIT (adapted from Stephen Brookfield, University of St. Thomas "Critical Incident Questionnaire")
At what moment during this unit did you feel most engaged with the course?
I enjoyed writing the ethical essay. This has been a very interesting aspect of the course. Makes me think more about issues we live with.
At what moment unit did you feel most distanced from the course?
I do not enjoy the compendiums. It seems as though I would be done and discover there's 3 or 4 more pages to cover. Many of the links to the text book's website are not working.
What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit that find most affirming and helpful?
Honestly, haven't had any contact with anyone for this unit.
What action that anyone (teacher or student) took during this unit did you find most puzzling or confusing?
Can't think of anything.
What about this unit surprised you the most? (This could be something about your own reactions to the course, something that someone did, or anything else that occurs to you.)
Chapter 8 was not the brief experience I expected.

SELF/UNIT EVALUATION
Thanks for this honest feedback. I know those compendiums are a lot of work—hopefully it’s a body of work you’ll be glad and proud to have down the road, rather than just a lengthy test to throw out later. But I do appreciate all the work that goes into it and the large amount of information and topics…such is biology! I’ll check the links for the text websites….they changed some of them to a new site, but then told me that they should forward automatically…I thought I had checked them all but I’ll go back—thanks for the one-up.
COMPENDIUM ONE—CARDIOVASCULAR/IMMUNE
COMPENDIUM TWO—NUTRITION
These compendiums are great—very complete, great images, everything cited. I apprediate the organization according to book chapters. If you want to eliminate some work, you could go through and just focus on the topics that I also address in my powerpoints. And make a simplified table of contents, based on that, before you start…it might allow you to leave some topics out if you want to. But they’re really great just as they are.
LAB ONE—BLOOD PRESSURE
N ice job. Data compete and good analysis.
LAB TWO—FOOD FOR A DAY
Thanks for finding your own nutrition calculator that worked for you. If I read it right, you have about the lowest fat intake I’ve seen…and it looks like quite a fruit and vegetable-heavy diet. I’m glad you find that kind of nutritional tracking helpful—sounds like you’ve done it before.
LAB PROJECT—EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGY
Just a great job on this lab. And is that really a picture of you with the popcorn—if so, great photo!
Also, I really like the timeline with walking the dog and how you compare it to how you felt—also interesting subjective data to consider. You probably didn’t need actual number guesses in your hypothesis, but interesting to try that. Coffee did raise the blood pressure some…in fact more proportionately than heart rate and respiration…hmmm. And I guess the scary movie worked even more than the coffee. Anyways, nice write-up, you come back to analyze your hypothesis and the graphs are great—way to go!
ESSAY—EATING
Wow, very insightful essay—right from the start realizing the absurdity of the issue—what is food. Like Michael pollan says, the solution is simple…eat food! And I loved the real food for real kids picture. And for most of humanity, that cultural base for the diet is there…it’s just the forces of capitalism that get into everything—including food!
Janet, thanks for all the hard work on this basically perfect unit! Keep it up—what more can I say1
