The purpose of this evaluation is for me to get some feedback on how the course is going as a whole.

This survey is completely anonymous. Your answers won't be tied back to you in any way, and they won't affect your grade. I won't have any idea who's answering what, particularly because it's entirely multiple choice.

What would you say was your level of basic programming experience in any language prior to taking this course?

Complete novice; no experience programming

Proficient; some experience programming at the introductory level (e.g. what this class will get you to)

Mastery; strong expereince programming (e.g. upper-divison classes like data structures or algorithms)

Which of these bests matches your personal experience with the pace of the course?

Way too fast; I'm really behind

A little fast, but I'm keeping up

Just about right

A little slow, but I'm staying awake

Way too slow; I'm so bored!

Clear selection

Which of these best matches your personal experience with the difficulty of homework for the course?

Way too hard; I feel completely unprepared by what we do in class

A little challenging, but I'm struggling through

Just about right

A little easy, but that's fine by me :)

Way too easy; I'm not feeling like I'm reinforcing anything from class

Clear selection

About how much time are you spending on each homework assignment, including: thinking about the problems, working with friends, working with tutors, coming to office hours, writing code, testing code, and writing responses to questions?

This is not to judge you, but to make sure I'm not making my homeworks too long or too short. Give your best guess.

Much less than 1 hour

1 - 2 hours

2 - 4 hours

Rate where you feel you're currently at in each of the topics we've covered so far on our mastery scale.

Proficient = I'm starting to get it and I can do it most of the time, but sometimes I can't get there on my own

Master = This makes sense to me, I'm confident I know when to use this concept after thinking on it

Novice

Proficient

Master

Variables, Numbers, Types

Which of these, if any, would you like more of to enhance your learning?

Lots of additional practice problems from other websites reinforcing basics

A few additional challenge problems that push my understanding

More written resources, e.g. other books I could look at, other websites I could find

Video resources, e.g. YouTube, recorded lectures from outside sources

Finally, please check which one of these most closely aligns with your thoughts on our mastery-based grading scheme so far, including our revision policy.

I hate it; I wish we were using traditional points-based grading

I prefer traditional grading, but I'm dealing with the mastery-based grading for now

I'm indifferent

I prefer this style of grading, but it's not a very strong preference; I wouldn't mind if it were traditional

I love it; I wish more classes used this style of grading
