I'd appreciate any comments you have about what you liked or disliked about this class or suggestions on how to improve Honors Physical Science at SHS?
| Code | Value |
|---|---|
| 8738113 | very fun class. really enjoyed it. thanks! |
| 8738133 | I really liked the programs, but you should try to update the look of them, they are getting kind of old. |
| 8738129 | Although this class was very challenging, I think that throughout my next three years at SHS I will be prepared for any class that comes my way, whether it be AP or not. |
| 8738135 | I liked having our grades posted on the internet. |
| 8738124 | I liked the fact that this class was active so it woke me up in the morning and it was fun with the labs because we got to work in groups and we could take turns doing the work. |
| 8738134 | Mr. Gilliland, HPS this year was probably my favorite class I have ever taken. Thanks for all the fun labs. You made me see science in a new perspective. Now I have another job option; I may want to become a chemical engineer. This class has concluded my decision that I want to take all the Chemistry classes available at SHS. Again, thanks. |
| 8738159 | you are very wel prepared |
| 8738149 | I think that this class was one of the best science calsses that ive take. Doing labs was alot of funn and you should keep doing them, but we do get ALOT of homework, like the study sheets are a little long,but other than that you cant really improve anything your a good teacherr mr. gilliland. keep it up!!! |
| 8738169 | I highly enjoyed this class because i learned a lot and have become a more disciplined student. And i dont think i will ever forget how to write a balanced chemical equation! |
| 8738121 | i have liked everything about your class. i really enjoy science and finally being able to use chemicals and a nice lab set up was amazing. the best part is you know how to teach!!! my math teacher cant... he gives us an asignment with out teaching us the lesson and tells us to use the examples in the book. thank you for being so involved with technology and teaching. i feel that you have really prepared me for chemestry next year. this has been my favorite class this year. Just so you know your demos are really cool so maybe you could do a few more next year. |
| 8738118 | The study sheets are way to long... The computer programs where really slow and long which made me lose intrest and not remember what it was teaching... The lab worksheets were a little hard to understand... The concept maps are very usefull but a little long to do... I sat next to very smart people which was very helpfull to me but made it impossible to win to games... Remembering the elements was really hard and a long proccess... WE NEED MORE EXPLOSIONS, FIRES, AND LOUD BOOMS AND POPS IN THE LABS!!!!!!! More motivational stuff from you would have really helped me push my grades up... The tests where really hard (to me)... Your a really good teracher tho. |
| 8739083 | less work!!!!! :) |
| 8746121 | You did a very good job teaching, probably one of the best teachers I've had. |
| 8746042 | your cooooooooool |
| 8746243 | so 2 blondes walk into a bar wat do they say? ouch! |
| 8746222 | It was a very interesting and educational class |
| 8746184 | I think it's a good class even though I thought the curriculum could be way easier. |
| 8746061 | I learned alot from this class. I liked it and all the hands on learning experiences we had |
| 8746048 | Great class i hope i get it for other science classes |
| 8746044 | i think that if you removed the study sheet and replaced it with a more inter active item and made more labs because in the labs i learned more |
| 8746045 | you did a great job this year teaching and helped me a lot...i want to thank u for all u have taught me....=] |
| 8746028 | when you try to explain things to individual students sometimes you don't answer the question |
| 8746030 | I dont think that concept maps really helped me i didnt learn anything from them and thank you are a great teacher |
| 8746067 | i am a more visual person so it was harder for me to learn on the computers |
| 8746070 | I think students would learn better if the Study Sheets counted for a grade the first time they did them because now students don't care about the answers and just correct them. |
| 8746017 | overall it was pretty good... |
| 8746024 | This year was awesome! I learned so much about science! i really don;t think there is anything to chnage about this class. I liked it alot and i believe it got me ready for harder science subjects. Thanks for the good time :] |
| 8746320 | i think you did a good job of teaching a very complex course in just a semester |
| 8746256 | i think you dress very nicely. i like how your tie always matches your shoes. it's ok that you're color blind because i know somebody that has no sense of smell. it's kind of sad. but ya props to your wife on matching your clothes. i enjoyed this class. especially failing every test we took. yeah. thanks. ok bye! |
| 8746058 | I enjoyed having you as my teacher this year. You always had a good way to explain things without making them terribly boring. Keep it up (: |
| 8746046 | to much work |
| 8746192 | I liked working and discussing things we were doing in the class. |
| 8746264 | i think that in some cases you could be a little less hard on some of the students sometimes and although responsibility is a bigg part of learn you should be a little easier on students in the asspect that this is a 9th grade class and we are still getting ajusted to high school rather than treat this like it is A college class |
| 8749553 | get some! |
| 8749544 | i loved the punch cards and extra creidt quizes and cross words |
| 8749593 | I really liked this class. |
| 8749603 | You are a supercalifragilisticexpielidoiuos teacher |
| 8749578 | It's hard to be by a computer. |
| 8749575 | this class was amazing, we learned things that are not only useful and relevent but also iarnteresting and fun to learn about. I know I will use the things I have learned in this class for years to come=) |
| 8749594 | This class was very good! |
| 8749590 | This is the best class ive taken, ever!!!! this class was da bomb!!! u should teach honers chem fo sho.... over all my favorate and favorate class. sw33t |
| 8749597 | Thanks for everything this year. I learned so much! I've already had people ask me what class to take and I tell them to take Physical Science with Mr.Gilliland. |
| 8749580 | This class was the most challenging class i've ever taken. But in doing so i feel that after taking this class i can take on any other class. I think that Mr. Gilliland should do more himself instead of using the computer programs. |
| 8749629 | I like how when you walk in you have tht screen up with everything thats do, what were doing for the that day, and what subject were learning. I also like how we can stay after some days and get extra help on things we don't understand I love the labs, they were fun and entertaining. And they also helped us learn alot more. You're class is a real class, other classes we don't do anything we usually sleep but in your class we actually do stuff in this class |
| 8749633 | I really learned a lot in this class, some stuff was harder to understand since science isn't really my subject, but everything in this class was really helpful & useful. The only thing that i think could be a little bit more interesting is the keynotes towards the end of the semester. Thanks for everything Mr. G =) |
| 8751035 | Great class, difficult but fair but had alot of work |
| 8751330 | Your a hard working teacher, but sometimes you make things harder than they need to be . + to much homework |
