28.   Additional Comments
Great teacher overall. I can tell that professor johnson wants students to be successful in their future professional careers and understand the concepts offered in this course.
I loved the class, but I felt the order of the topics seemed a bit off. I'm not sure how to explain it, but I guess I would have preferred it if we did HTML/CSS before Javascript because I needed to do a bit of a refresher on Javascript for the final project.
I liked the athletic WODs because I felt that it pushed me to really get to know the material so that I could write the code successfully in class.
N/A
N/A
Teacher can be intimidating at times.
This is one of the best ICS courses I have ever taken. Others have left me wondering how and when the material will be applicable, but this course is entirely career-applicable material. It is also structured very well so I always know what I am supposed to be working on next. 11/10

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)

31.   What were the positive and negative aspects of online learning in this class?
Positive: -able to go more at your own pace -TA always reachable Negative: -no face to face group interaction
positive: reduce the risk of virus negative: hard to ask question and study
Positive: I think it was much easier to do the WODs compared to if we had in-person class. Negative: A bit harder to coordinate with the group than if we could meet in person. Also, I think I might've had a harder time asking questions online but I am so glad the T.A., Branden Ogata, was very, VERY helpful.
A positive was that the way the class is structured made it so that learning the material didn't feel too different than if we were in person. It was difficult to get to know my peers, thus we were put in random groups and we have to communicate over Discord instead of working together in the same room during class.
N/A
Positive: -Being able to attend classes without having to commute to campus. -Having more time to self-study at my own pace. Negative: -Lack of in person interaction. I prefer talking with classmates or the professor about things face to face.
Negative: Was not able to really make a good connection with classmates. Positive: Productive I guess?
Easier to attend class from anywhere and from any device
Positive is ease of access to the class, as well as not having to drive to Manoa (Save gas, live better!). Negative is nothing really. Learning this course online improves the course because of the access to all the course material and being able to meet with peers at any time.
communication is harder but don't have to drive to UH
