What were the most annoying features of the videos? ------------------ More complicated examples can be provided in the video. Some of the examples are too easy. And also the speed can be faster. How they were split into different sections every time. I would have preferred just having 1 long video instead of 6 short ones since i can just sit back and follow along. Sometimes, the videos are too long. I prefer multiple short videos(5-10mins) The duration of the videos (DOE module) were annoying at certain times when there was a lot of other tasks that needed to be completed for other courses. However, the duration was understandable due to the content and concepts that needed to be delivered. This was more so about the time at which they were posted than anything else. I would not change the videos at all but only the timeline in which they were posted. Honestly, I did not find anything annoying associated with the videos and because they were condensed in a short time, they were very efficient with respects to time. I didn't find a very big problem. "I have no complaints about the videos. They were clear/easy to hear, visually appealing and never to long. Interactions with asking the audience questions and encouraging use of R during them only enhanced their effectiveness. Comparing your videos to others (YouTube) really shows how superior they are. " Some videos were a little on the long side, and sometimes a lot of videos were posted at one time. The videos themselves were very good, the main issue with them was the timing in which they were posted. Not being able to do the quizzes without the videos until after night class on Thursday nights was pretty annoying. No problems with the videos. "I didn't like that sometimes the lectures slides were not in the same order as the slides in the video. This made it more difficult to take notes. Sometimes the lecture slides were posted later than the video. I like taking notes as I watch the videos so I would often have to wait til the slides were available or watch the video more than once." Most of the videos had only a few points, and it seemed like it took a long time to get the points out. As one of the questions asked, I watched the videos at top speed most of the time, and only slowed it down to catch maybe a sentence or two per video. I would break up the longer (>16 mins) videos into two videos. There weren't many long videos but the ones that were long were quite torturous. Besides that, I didn't find anything else annoying with the videos. Overall the presentation of the slides and production of the videos was great. The visualizations were clear, the transitions were smooth and your voice was clear. The pace of the videos was a little slow but overall I thought that it was a good teaching approach. There is not much I could recommend to improve. I don't have any comments to add here. Production quality was excellent, concepts were clear and enough examples were given to effectively communicate the course's content. Everything was fine according to me. No need to change anything. Some tutorial style videos would be nice. I felt the video were great but explained the content too quickly to grasp the concept, this would lead to watching the videos multiple times. Maybe a short tutorial style videos could be added, which are a bit slower and go through a practical example, or exam question. Some of them were too long and because lots of information were on them; at end minutes I became bored to watch it and could not concentrate enough on those parts. I thought the content of the videos perfectly concise with the content but maybe they could have more of an interactive feature. The subtitles cover up the contents in the videos. It would be great if the subtitles have a special space below the video for them, this way they will not cover up the contents of the videos. This was the main reason why I never used subtitles while watching the videos. -nothing I can think of at this time. I did like the style. I can recall alot more direct points that were discussed in the videos but I cannot do this with the application parts due to the overwhelming amount of videos that there were mandatory for each class. I feel that my comfort learning style is where the prof is lecturing and I am following along. Watching videos and doing group sessions are good for that particular moment but similarly to when you watch a movie, a few weeks later you forget certain parts of it. Then when the midterm came around, I had good notes that I made myself of each video but I did not know what to expect. Also when I take notes while the prof is lecturing to me directly, I have a better judgement towards the material that I am going to be tested on. I would prefer to have the original lecture style and maybe have videos containing application problems. Some of the more earlier videos were clear were not aimed to a more technical audience.And the content was not enjoyable to watch. Videos were very well put together, and covered the course material very well. As far as content and style of the videos goes, no complaints whatsoever. The second half of the semester had much more interesting videos because it was Kevin actually interacting with the video rather than slides being shown with Kevin's voice over the videos. Additionally, I did not find the videos with Latulippe or the woman at the bakery to be very helpful with learning. Having to download the subtitles separately. I would've hoped that they were hard coded in the video and if people did not want them they can just turn them off in the media player they were using to watch the video. I would say that the content and style of the videos were great. I also founded that the use of animation in the Design of experiments videos were really helpful. However, I found that few videos were quite lengthy and had a lot of new concepts. But overall, I think that having these lecture videos are good backup compared to other typical class lectures. Even if we missed a class, it would still be available to us and wouldn't miss valuable information. A few of the videos were too long (almost 20 minutes) - design of experiments. To improve this, maybe condense the section of univariate analysis because most of it is review and spend more time on design of experiments section. In some of the initial videos, there were long pauses as you waited for students to do an example question; it was more convenient to pause the video instead and do the problem at my own pace. I have no complaints about the content/style of the video. They were good the way they are. The talking in the videos was quite slow, so they had to be sped up, which wasn't a huge deal. For me, the most annoying thing about the videos was that they weren't put up soon enough so my schedule was very tight and I had to just watch them really quickly and finish the quiz at 11pm. If they were released at least 24 hours before, I could take time to watch the videos, take some notes and understand them more. I understand the time constraints due to changes in the course for the first time. "The streaming of the videos of the last module was somewhat erratic (don't know whether it was my system or the video's problem) Everything else was spot on." No real issues with the videos. Thought the content and style was good. It would be nice if the slides always matched the videos, as they did later on in the course, although I still feel that I miss It might be useful if there is some way to link the current video back to previous ones. For example, if a problem being worked through requires knowledge of a tricky concept from a previous video, provide a link that would take you to the spot in a previous video where that concept was covered. There was often both a lot of information being said, as well as presented in the images. So I had to choose one at a time to learn from (so I would listen to the video, then go back and pause and study the visual information, or the other way around) I felt that for the videos that were previously filmed for coursera but then reused for this course were a little too long. Some concepts were re-explained to us which we had already learned in class (ie how to use R) and I found it hard to keep focused. Otherwise the content of the other videos was well done. Nothing really annoyed me. Maybe work a few questions into the course videos so a higher focus can be applied. My only complaint is the slow pacing of the videos. I constantly found myself speeding them up. The ability to play them at higher speeds did balance this. A few videos (mostly DOE that were tailored to the online course) took a few moments to get straight to the point "The video is uploaded but sometimes the lecture slides or subtitles are not up, if we can improve that it would be great. Also, I would want the maybe learn to solve some questions step by step like what we will do in a regular class. If the video can do 1 specific example with detail step and get the answer instead of showing the answer and let us solve it on our own that would be better, because as we watched the video and follow by the quiz, if we don't get certain concept we cannot ask TA or instructor right away. I will suggest ""khan academy"" style, so that we can follow step by step after the theory videos and get on hand with a more challenging exercise with step so that we can ask question or discuss the topic on forums or after class." The Coursera video system was not always buffering well -- it was vital to have the YouTube links -- YouTube videos can be sped up too, so other than having to go outside the Coursera site, Youtube was an acceptable solution. Can't think of any improvements. Overall I think the quality and pacing of the videos was very good. "When I click full screen, it's never really full screen. You can still see the address bars and start menu at the bottom. I don't know why but it really distracted me. It may have been something only on the type of browser I was using. Anyways I found a way around it by simply hitting F11 and making the entire browser go full screen. It's not a real nuisance or anything but I didn't want to leave this box blank. " I thought the videos were excellent and do not need to be changed. The most annoying feature about videos would be length of some of the videos which were around 20 minutes. To answer this question i will compare it with another course that you teach which is 4G03. attending/watching the 4G03 lectures were enough for me personally to understand the materials and be confident about it. While 4C03 videos were not enough. I felt there is lack of information sometimes, not many examples to explain the topic. That might be due to the materials itself or the videos, it's hard to say where the problem is. "Some annoying features related to content/style were the large amount of content and irrelevancy of the content on some slides. The professor was almost always talking about something relevant to the topic at hand but the slides sometimes contained information that could be completely ignored and it would not be detrimental to learning or understanding the concepts being taught. At other times, there were too many examples being given. However, these could be useful to some people." I found the videos quite good. Having the powerpoint slides in a window beside the video player was the preferred method of learning for this course. Some times the video can't work properly, but I can check the Youtube or download the video to solve the problem. The volume of video required to watch. This isn't really a fair annoyance as the course material must be taught regardless. However, if I had to pick the biggest annoyance, it would be that. The videos were very clear and well done though! overall I really liked the videos, it might be nicer to have a maximum length of video as 10 minutes, that way it's easier to find a concept I like the later videos that u were in maybe the videos could have a combination of notes and u Some videos would just drag on for too long. I would understand a concept and than by the end of a 20 minute video i find myself day dreaming. Splitting the videos into shorter lengths make it more enjoyable and i feel like i understand the concepts more. "When the video is focused on one particular slide for longer time, I lose interest in reading the text. I prefer when emphasizing on certain point for longer slide, make the font bigger for that particular word being discussed in the slide. I am not sure if this falls under style of the video but I still would like to share it. I was annoyed by having the subtitles overlapping the text at the bottom of the screen. Sometimes I had to turn off the subtitles to be able to read what was written at the bottom of the screen. " I couldn't follow the pauses. The video usually asks for the student to pause and try to do something before continuing, but usually this didn't work for me. I prefer to finish the video and then work on some practice problems. I know that this is not possible for some content, but for me would be more useful to give some examples, challenge or practice problem at the end of the video. I would add a bit more examples in the videos "The videos towards the latter half of the course seemed more effective at delivering the message, rather than voice over the slides. Seeing a professor talking might be something that keeps the learner more engaged rather than a voice over the slides. The content was great." I did not find anything bad about the videos. In my opinion, they were well done. The content covered in the videos was taught very well the only thing that I would like to see changed would be the timeliness that the videos and quizzes were released. Often the videos were released the night before the class and I would need to watch and do the quizzes after night class. If the videos were released earlier in the day or a couple of days before class it would have been better. Having to wait all day to watch the videos required for the next class, as most students prefer to stop doing work in the evening Nothing in particular. More examples for each topic would help relate the concepts to application. Examples were often worked out very quickly, while useful for repeated tasks, some slower methodical displays of how some problems were solved may have been helpful. I found video 09 of the process monitoring section to be really helpful as I study for the exam. A short video full of just examples would always be helpful especially when studying for texts/exam Honestly, there was nothing wrong with the videos, I felt that it was concise. I thought the content/style of the video was very well done. The only thing I would improve is the amount of material in a video, for example one video might be 5 min while the other video would be 20 min with a lot of difficult material. There was nothing annoying about the videos. The first option "I can watch them at any time convenient to me" does not apply to me since the videos were posted 15 hours before the quiz was due. Not to mention that I had night classes on the same day the videos were released so I had very few hours to watch and quickly do my quiz (I was heavily sleep deprived on those days. It was hard to do the class activities the next morning when i had little sleep). The style of the videos was fine, everything was clear in terms of picture and voice. More examples needed. It would be better if the videos were posted earlier. Watching many videos in a lump is time consuming and annoying. Relating to content, there are no complaints. Information is presented very concisely which is what I value. Good Job! The slides that were shown in the videos sometimes contained a lot more information than what was being said in the video! I think this feature makes keeping track of the information hard. That they were simply audio over slides. Honestly, that was really annoying and it didn't feel like I am learning much. I am not sure if this is a personal thing, but having someone's face to see makes it MUCH easier for me to understand (can't really understand the logic behind why my brain works like this). The DOE videos were much better than the other videos. We are chemical engineers, so consistency is important, the quality of the videos were not consistent.
