|
Put more reading material online |
|
Much more resources now available online |

Not enough time between lectures on a topic and tutorial assignments on the same issue |
|
Allow for more time between lecture and tutorial, so that there is enough time to prepare tutorial assignments |
|
We would like to understand the mathematical formulas better, rather than only being able to apply them |
|
Take more time in the lectures to explain formulas |
|
Not enough people did the tutorial exercises, which made tutorials less effective |
|
Count tutorial participation and doing homework exercises towards the total coursework grade |
|
Contemporary International Relations |

More time needed for in-class discussions |
|
Introduced online peer review to provide for more time in class for discussion |
|
Make tutorials more interactive |
|
Introduced 'role-playing' in class to engage the course material in a more pragmatic/concrete fashion |
|
Topics in Political Science |

Prefer to write response papers more often instead of reviewing response papers |

Put more emphasis on the response papers, less frequent reviews |
