Comments Report

5. Please provide comments for each of the questions below. NOTE: Your comments will be returned to the instructor
AFTER the grades have been posted.

5.1)
Which features of the course best helped you learn?

The notes and powerpoints in which are posted on Blackboard is very helpful and useful to help me learn.
Easy access to the book. Professor was very excellent; honest, caring, very organized so it was easy to find everything, gave us time to do
assignments.

Ahmed used lost of real world expirences [sic] to explain concepts which I feel helped alot [sic].
Ahmed is a great professor who truly cares for his students and their future success. I would reccomend [sic] him to everyone!

The 3 assignments posted were great exercises that tied with the content of the course.

Everything was taught in class rather than having its content split between online and in person.

The power points, and online recoursces [sic].

Also the book.
Going through lecture slides during class.

Having all course content on Blackboard

I enjoyed doing the business plan project because it allowed me to apply what I learned in class.

I feel that the personal stories that Ahmed used to explain the topic we were discussing helped me the most because it provided a clearer
understanding for me.
None.

One feature that helped me learn was the help and feedback from Ahmed.

Our teacher, Ahmed Rachdi, helped me learn the most. He was just great and an awesome person in general.

Sorry that I wasn't the best student I could have been! Your course is amazing and I wish I could have taken it with a lot less on my plate.
This course helped me understand starting a business is not as simple as 2+2. You were a hard but very great teacher. Hopefully you'll
see my business in the future and be proud that you influenced my success! - Lin

The assignments helped me learned [sic] about the chapters in a more real life experience. The Business plan project also helped me
incorporate the lessons and material learned into our business.
The book, and business plan project

The business plan was a very beneficial part of the course.

The business project helped me learn, and having the powerpoint slides available to the students helped as well

The class project helped me learn a lot.

The in class assignments and lectures helped me to further understand the subject.

The in class lectures and personal example helped me understand better what was going on and get a grip of the material. The project
also helped to understand what a business must go through in order to be successful.

The team business project best helped me learn because it encompassed all of the learning objectives of the course. It also was a great
way to get deeper insight into some of those objectives.

When we had to work together as groups to do activities.

You're able to print off the power points & follow along with the lecture/add your own notes to the power point. Reading through the book
was very helpful especially when it came to the quizzes.

5.2)
What suggestions do you have for future offerings of this course?

Do not procrastinate.
ver[?] work on time and be respectful to Ahmed.
The course is not the most interesting topic but my professor made it so much better.

If you are nice and on it with assignments and nice to Ahmed you will have a great time because he is a great teacher and probably the
best one I have had and the course itself was pretty interesting and future students will learn a lot from this class.

None
Allow group work outside of class room.
Along with going through the lectures also go through with real life examples like the ones on the quizzes.

Choosing groups/partners later in the semester so anyone that drops the class early on doesn't affect the groups.

Give more opportunities to earn points.

Give out study guides before quizes [sic].

Have more in-class time to work on the project and more instruction about homework.

I do not have any suggestions; I thoroughly enjoyed the course.

I really liked this course. Only suggestion would [sic] to have a better substitute when he goes to Morocco.

In-class ch quizzes before each lesson.

Maybe tell less stories so we can finish work as soon as possible.

More teaching, less lecturing.

None (2 Counts)

None, the course is great the way it is.

One suggestion would be to remind students when their assignment [sic] are due.

The class was pretty solid, I do not think it needs to improved much more. I personally appreciate that he talks to us like we are his own
children, but others may not respond to that kind of treatment.
The course is pefect [sic].

The teacher could go up to students more and ask if they need any help.

This course has been great. I liked that the quizzes were online, therefore I could do it on my time and have my notes in front of me. The
Business project was also great because it allowed some freedom. Some suggestions would be a mini-quiz like 5 mins or so on assigned
chapters so Ahmed actually has students who read the info before lecturing.

Uhhh... don't give us/future classes that female sub we had while Ahmed was in Moracco [sic].

Use more in class examples, such as the accounting one towards the end that we walk through together because this helps students to
see exactly what is going on.
