On Tuesday we had two class. We went through your mid module feedback and had a brief discussion about meetings.
You can see recordings here:
Some direct actions I have taken as a result of your feedback:
At this stage there is nothing I can do about the compressed nature of the timetable. I am aware of this and I hope I have reassured you that I have your best interests at heart.
After discussing feedback we also talked about meetings. This was a bit rushed but I think we covered everything. You can find a link to a number of principles on meetings here: /gt/topics/meetings.html
Below I have listed all the comments you raised. This is mainly in the interest of future students considering whether or not to pick this course.
YouTube videos are useful and lessons are interactive
The classes are fun, and the practical implementation of game theory topics via games is useful
I like how interactive it is
All of the notes on a well structured website
Like collaborative teaching style
I think that the games we play in lectures are fun and helpful to understand the "lecture notes"
I enjoy the discussions and interactive aspects of this module
Happy with the unique structure of the module, short timeframe is slightly stressful but can't be helped.
Collaborative teaching
The interactive lectures are really cool, and enjoyable. The lecture notes and videos explaining them also work really well.
Interactive
The constant switch between practical and theory applied in class to implement a stronger understanding.
Interactive and fun
interactive classes, good back and forth between Vince and the class, good structured notes
The website is clearly laid out, easy to make notes from
The games keep it fun and keep everyone engaged
lessons are interactive and still help us learn about game theory
Videos as well as notes online
The interactive parts of the module
YouTube videos are really good length, makes the content a lot more manageable when it's broken down into smaller chunks
"The lectures are great fun, the fun of the lectures helps break routine of usual lectures and take in the content
The website and youtube is also very helpful in understanding content"
Nice to see the notes get applied in real life situations and the open chats have been useful
The notes are very easy to digest and the examples in them help
The nashpy notes are very detailed and easy to read
Interactive
Prefer the double lecture hours in first month to give more time to work on coursework later
Breaking up the lectures with interactive scenarios
Interactive lectures are useful and the youtube videos and notes are easy to follow
Interactive activities during class help to see how concepts can be applied
interactive and organised
The notes are detailed and exercises are accessible
Multiple think pair share opportunities help to consolidate knowledge and understanding
I like the website, it’s much more convenient than using learning central.
Really enjoy discussions in lectures
Interactive lectures, seems to be a general consensus of enjoyment towards the module and enthusiasm shown in group work and discussion
Interacting with the students, rather than you talking at us for an hour straight
Nice lecturer
The Short form YouTube videos that can consolidate knowledge after attending a lecture
The course materials on Vinces website are helpful. Lectures are engaging. I like that the module is completely coursework based.
Very Interactive
website is formatted well and easy to find everything to practice game theory in python
Clear notes on website and interactive website reinforce learning
I like that the lectures feel very active, and that I’m not just sitting and taking notes for the entirety of it. It feels more engaging.
Very interactive module. Applying things into practice.
Putting ideas into practice with actual games makes it easier to understand
lectures are fun, so easier to stay concentrated
How interactive and engaging the lectures are. As well as the youtube videos and exercises online
The use of youtube videos and lecture notes of content combined with the collaborative teaching really helps solidify my understanding of the content
The exercise questions are great way to test us on what we’ve learnt
The website is really useful for looking through notes and videos
All coursework ease exam pressure
The Nashpy library is really structured with examples and example code which I find incredibly helpful.
Interactive, not just listen and write
the way you interact with us is really engaging and i appreciate that. it’s nice to come to class and actually feel like you can participate and discuss
I think the website works quite well, easier to use than learning central, and the videos are helpful
Chocolate bribes help
As interesting as you want it to be
Playing games and putting then applying the theory to them (real life application)! I find myself understanding and following the class when I read up on the lecture notes in my own time
Self-study is nice
bit random sometimes
The group project seems quite vague
interactive learning and comprehensive schedule
I would prefer topics directly from the book are discussed - ie the more difficult concepts are gone over.
Maybe a video showing how to download nashpy
Would like to see more examples of previous group projects
I enjoy the lectures :)
Remembering to read the lecture notes as they’re not covered in the lecture
A bit more of a brief on the group coursework
N/A
Timetabling
N/a
More frequent reminders for online notes/videos
Not so much a fault of the module itself but due to the timetabling and having so many classes it has been difficult to get through all the content as it's taught
I don't think having all the classes packed into a few weeks is very fair
Slightly unclear about assessments
Could maybe have more questions / interactive quizzes (like menti) in lectures and outside of lectures
Although interactive, Still don’t really know what’s going on in this module or what we’re working towards. The material on your website seems a lot more difficult compared to material we’ve gone thru
Clearer distinction in class between examples and the concepts to be learned
More demonstration of code or how to model in the lectures would be helpful
There’s only a small focus on the notes in lectures, and it feels like we go through content very quickly without fully focussing on some points in the notes
As someone who doesn’t know anyone in the class, turning to a neighbor can sometimes be tough
sometimes neglect the notes/videos in own time, slightly stressed about unstructured group coursework, maybe more guidance will be helpful but cant know yet
A lot of content in a short space of time
:)
All good
Structure confusing
Can’t be helped but it’s harder to keep up with the exercises in time with the lectures so slightly behind
Tim winning RPS
it’s not something i really want to be changed, i think this class can seem quite overwhelming just because it’s so different study wise (the change is challenging) but i don’t want that to changelol
N/A
Talking about the groip coursework more would be helpful. Its a bit of a shot in the dark
Not enough discussing about what we have to do on the group project, it was a bit vague
I would like it to be a bit more clear what topic in the notes we’re discussing, maybe just at the start of the lecture
Whats required for assessments unclear
The mathematical notation in the online notes sometimes seems a bit off. I prefer it when I can (mostly) work out how something works without an example, but with these the examples are needed
The website is almost too accessible, making it seem less useful to do wider reading
More online quizzes would be better to consolidate knowledge
Maybe go through how to code a bit more
"I feel like I don't have enough time between lectures to look at the course
notes and videos"
maybe more lecture video
