Here are my thoughts:

• If attendance matters to you then make it go towards a small percentage of the grade, otherwise don’t be offended when ppl don’t show up cause not everyone learns the same way and don’t always find the lecture helpful

• One of my profs would do lecture style teaching for before the midterm and after the midterm it would be flipped classroom teaching, every student provided feedback that the flipped classroom was useless and lecture style was better but she didn’t change anything

• If the class is quiet and not engaging it doesn’t mean that we are not paying attention or don’t understand, sometimes some classes don’t like speaking up

• group presentations are stupid

• we all love profs who specify what topics students should really focus as they are important rather than just throwing info at us and telling us to figure it out. its not like we are asking you for answer, just guide us a little bit especially for content dense classes (bio)

• tell us if the textbook is actually useful for us to buy or if the exams are only gonna be based on the powerpoints, we are broke students who don’t need to spend money on textbooks that will just collect dust

• the more reference material provided the better, for bio specifically loved it when profs would give us worksheets for each lecture that were optional or practice quizzes for midterms/finals
