28.   Additional Comments
This class had a lot of things to learn from 314 and was very self taught. It is a project based class but I expected to be slightly more lecture type. But he did explain well when we ask him questions directly. I found it funny when our customers were told it could end in a fire which was kind of true in certain stages of the project. If could it would be good to send out the repository so we could understand it before the class starts to read up on it. It would be really good if he lectured more on how the functionalities of the project works and lecture more about everything in journal so we can learn better. It is a new class so it is okay to be guinea pigs but it could have been more organized.
A react refresher would have been helpful before starting this course.

29.   What was the format of this class? online synchronous (class scheduled for particular days and times) online asynchronous (class conducted online - no scheduled class meeting)

Mean N-Size Std Dev   Online Synchronous ()  Online Asynchronous ()  In Person ()  Hybrid: In Person and Online Synchronous ()  Hybrid: In Person and Online Asynchronous ()  Hybrid: Online Synchronous and Asynchronous ()  Other () 
0.0 5 0.0   5(100%) 0(0%) 0(0%) 0(0%) 0(0%) 0(0%) 0(0%)

30.   If you answered 'Other' for the question above, please specify.


31.   What were the positive and negative aspects of online learning in this class?
Positives: you learn a lot and you can consult the teacher who has good knowledge in this subject. Negatives: Doesn't properly prepare your or lecture you to help you understand without having to ask questions.
Online learning meant that short classes weren't something I needed to drive in for to only sit in class for 10 minutes. A massive positive for my wallet and my car's maintenance. No negatives for this class being online. In fact, This class shouldn't ever be in person as that would be quite unnecessary.
