This is a general comment.  This class is awesome. 

I am humbled by your opinion. (And, no, I did not write the above comment myself!)

I was looking at the Syllabus, and was wondering do homeworks even count for a grade?? do they replace problem sets?

There is no difference between Aplia assignments and my problem sets.  All are considered "homework" and count 15% toward your final course grade.  In computing your homework score, I will only count your 15 best scores.

It always seems like we are tested (Homeworks) on material befor we learn it in class, and as the homework is a part of our grade it just dosen't seem right.  Mass confusion erupts over Instant Messanger the night before a homeowrk is due.  None knows the right answar, and we are all going crazy about it!  a restructure might be in order, so help us out alot

You are correct that some of the Aplia assignments quiz you over material that I have not yet gone over in class.  The point of such exercises is to make sure that students keep up with the reading and take the learning process into their own hands.  I do not want your time in class to be your first exposure to new material.  I expect students to read the chapters ahead of the discussion in class and be prepared to challenge themselves through the online Aplia homework.  If mass confusion erupts over some of the assignments students are welcomed to seek out my help--that's what I'm here for.  

All of your lectures are very thorough and I really appreciate it that you always go step by step, no matter how many times we've gone over the same process.  (I love this music too!)

Thanks for the kind words.  It's kinda weird though--I've received comments in my past course evaluations that some students think I go too fast and others think I go too slow.   Long live rock!

I liked having the chance to ask questions over anything I didn't understand, however it wasn't anything like I thought it would be. Next time, let us know that the whole point of the review session is to have questions ready. Most people new to the class thought it was going to be a session of reviewing the major topics and us having questions answered as we briefly went over them. Then additional questions at the end going over review problems. BUT, it was a generous thing, thank you very much it was incredibly helpful.  Next time I will be even more prepared.

My apologies for not clarifying the nature of the review session. Review sessions are strictly Q&A sessions that depend on students to fire questions at me.

This is not about the class, but i was noticing that we could be using WebCT for this class, instead of Aplia.  The big feature is that WebCT is free for us to use, and Aplia is not............  Oh well mayby next time

I've considered WebCT. The biggest drawback for me using WebCT is that I would have to provide all the content material and do much more extensive programming compared to Aplia.   Aplia's content capabilities far exceeds what WebCT can handle at this point in time.
