Answering your feedback and concerns on anonymous feedback form

Posted by Armin Chitizadeh Friday 28 June 2024, 01:00:26 PM.

Hi,
Thank you to all students who provided feedback through the anonymous forum. We appreciate your input and have addressed your concerns as follows:

Help Sessions:

• Need help sessions from week1 onwards to ensure students can stay on top of their work. currently, very poorly organised

Our answer: We've added ongoing help sessions starting from week 4 to help students stay on top of their work. We also added some more earlier at the start of the term. You can access the schedule here:

https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP3311/24T2/resources/99784

Audio Issues:

• The audio in the lecture recordings has been getting quieter week after week...
• Couldn't hear the audio in the lecture recordings at all
  
• Hi, sometimes the online lectures have a very low volume, to the point that I can barely hear it even when my volume is on max. Please check before uploading.
  
• Could you please check that the microphone is loud enough for recording? It is very frustrating to watch the lecture recording with such a low volume. Thank you!!

Our answer: This is an unfortunate issue. I have been trying to fix this issue for some time. So I followed up with the UNSW IT for a very long time. They suggested different solutions and I tried them one by one. Unfortunately some of their solutions made it worse. Their most recent fix seems to be working well. If you encounter a recording without audio, please let us know the specific lecture so we can address it promptly. I received an anonymous comment that one week has no voice recording. Unfortunately, I could not find one without any voice recording. I found one with a low volume. If you can find it and tell me exactly which one is it, I should be able to fix it and re-upload it again.

Content Clarity:

• Armin needs to explain content more clearer, it feels rushed and unprepared at times.

Our answer : I try my best to explain content as clear as I can. It is unfortunately to see I did not succeed completely. I try my best to address this issue on my future lectures. If you can fill the form again and let me know which content it was related to, I really appreciate it. This way, I can learn from it and improve my future lectures.

Forum Response Time:

• I asked question in forum almost one day ago and still no tutor answered. Would be great if tutors can respond faster.

Our answer: We've expanded our team to address forum questions more quickly. If you don't receive a response within two working days, please email us at cs3311@cse.unsw.edu.au or repost your question. Email would be better option.

Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve the course. Please continue to use the anonymous form to share your thoughts and suggestions. The more detailed your feedback, the better we can address your concerns.

King's birthday | Anonymous feedback

Posted by Armin Chitizadeh Saturday 08 June 2024, 12:00:00 PM.

Dear students,

Because of the King's birthday, the week3 Monday's Lecture Moved to Tuesday 11th of June from 10am to 12pm:
Please be informed that due to the King's Birthday on June 10th, our Monday lecture has been rescheduled to Tuesday from 10 am to 12 pm, conducted online through Teams. I understand that some students may not be able to attend, so I will record the session for you to watch at your convenience.

Link: https://teams.microsoft.com/l/meetup-join/19:mee...

If you have a tutorial scheduled for Monday, June 10th:
If you have a tutorial scheduled for Monday, June 10th, your tutor should have already contacted you regarding the public holiday. If you wish, you can attend other tutors' tutorials for Week 3. I have already discussed this arrangement with them. Please inform both your regular tutor and the new tutor you plan to attend.

Anonymous feedback for week1 and week2:
Regarding your anonymous feedback, I have carefully read all the comments and have made my best efforts to address them. Here are the feedbacks from Week 1 and Week 2, along with the actions I have taken or plan to take:

Feedbacks on issue on sound quality:

• If the speakers are louder that would be great 👍🤠
• the last microphone was much better
• please articulate more and speak clearer, don't mumble at the end of sentences
• "- microphone quality makes bit harder to hear
• Voice is tiny and hard to hear from the lecture hall, but somehow OK to hear in the lecture recording.
• Mic quality is much better this lecture, but would it be possible to turn up the volume just a little as it was quiet. Thanks!
• The lecture volume was really low !?
• "Except for the start, good audio volume.
• The audio is unclear and the tempo of the lecture is slow
• Hi Dr Armin, the volume in the recordings for this week Wednesday lecture was very low. I had to turn up the volume on my laptop (Mac) all the way to the top and listen to it in a very quiet room so that I could hear clearly.

Our answer:
I've noticed that the voice quality in our online videos could be better. Despite trying different settings, I haven't seen a significant improvement yet. Last Monday, during the second week, I attempted to record my voice using my AirPods, but they didn't work well for me. For some reason, they gave me headaches after a few minutes, so I stopped using them. I'm currently exploring alternative options and hope to find a solution that provides clearer audio. Additionally, I'm making conscious efforts to speak more clearly and loudly.

Feedback:
· I think it would be helpful rather than jumping straight into examples is to go over the rules which govern how the representations are created/interpreted

Our answer:
I believe this issue is related to the lecture on Monday of week 2. Thanks to this feedback and other comments received from students during and after that lecture, I have incorporated a new summary section related to the Monday lecture to review the key points and placed it into Wednesday lecture. Going forward, I will aim to place more emphasis on the initial summary portion of the lectures

Feedback:
· Could you please make the lecture slides available maybe a couple days before lecture actually starts.

Our answer:
You're correct; providing the slides in advance would be better. I review the slides multiple times before each lecture and update them to enhance clarity. However, the changes are not drastic. My approach will be to release the initial version first, and if I make any slight modifications, I will update the slide and mention the changes at the end. I will also assign a version code. As mentioned, the changes are solely intended to improve clarity, while the main content remains unchanged

Feedback:

• · "Hi Armin, When you explain concepts, if it’s the first time referring to a technical term, I think it would be good to explain it briefly. Like if you refer to a server, or vlab etc. Please assume we are really stupid ! Thanks so much !"
• · I think it would be helpful rather than jumping straight into examples is to go over the rules which govern how the representations are created/interpreted

Our answer: Thank you for the feedback. I will ensure that I provide more detailed explanations before presenting examples.

Feedback :

• · I'm enjoying the interactive lessons
• · I found the example in the Wednesday lecture really helpful. Thanks Armin
• · I liked the use of examples to illustrate the concepts, e.g. explaining the importance of constraints by using the example of accidentally giving a student 120/20 in an assignment.

Our answer: Thank you. I will keep doing this and will make sure to provide even more examples to ensure the content is clear and understandable

Feedback:
* Overall, I can tell you are making an effort with teaching the course, keep it up!"

Our answer: Thanks!

Feedback:
· Ability to explain concepts is not bad but I see room for improvement.

Our answer: We try our best to improve. If you can provide suggestions on areas where we can enhance our efforts, it would be extremely helpful.

Feedback:

• Working through the example tasks from scratch is helpful for understanding but sometimes the pace is too slow when there is a lot of setup or repeated content.
• - bit slow paced"

Our answer: I understand what the student’s concern. However, finding the right pace for teaching is a challenging aspect. We need to consider all groups of students, as some prefer a slower pace, while others expect a faster one. My approach is to strike a balance that allows all students to grasp the concepts while simultaneously keeping them engaged and interested.

Our feedback form is fully anonymous. I personally read every single piece of feedback received, and provide a comprehensive explanation of the outcomes here on a fortnightly or weekly basis. Link to anonymous form:

Sources of Information | Recommended Study Approach | COMP3311

Posted by Armin Chitizadeh Friday 31 May 2024, 08:43:26 AM.

Dear students,

On my O-week video and the first lecture I discussed what each resources at this course means and how you can be learn the most out of this course and also what is examinable what is not.

Since this is an important matter, I want to mention them here again.

Sources of information:

• Topic Video: Primary content (examinable)
• Lectures: Summarised content + examples (examinable)
• Previous Course Notes: More detailed version of topic video slides
• Textbooks: Most detailed version of topics

"Previous Course Notes" and "Textbooks" provide more detailed information to aid learning, but any content exclusive to these resources and not covered in the topic videos or lectures is not examinable.

We have a limited time during the lecture. Our focus is to spend more time on topics for which students usually have issues. During week1, our focus was to help students fully understand ER models. We briefly covered over Relational Data Models. We are going to talk more about them on Monday week2 lecture. However, for the week2 tutorial, you might want to also have a look at Topic Videos for week1.

Recommended Study Approach:

We provide different sources and activities and you can decide what is the best way to navigate them. However our recommended study approach is the following:

1. Read and watch the Topic Videos, as they contain the core examinable material.
2. Attend lectures, participate in solving examples, and ask questions to reinforce understanding of the examinable content.
3. Attempt practice exercises on your own to apply the concepts.
4. Complete tutorial questions before attending tutorials. Attend your tutorial and actively participate, and ask questions for clarification.
5. Ask questions during online consultations or after/before lectures for more complex queries. Ask your tutors. Use the forum for simpler, one-sentence questions.
6. Take quizzes and complete assignments to test your learning and prepare for the final exam. These are summative assessments.
7. Do the exam.

It's worth emphasising that quizzes and assignments serve a dual purpose: not only they help you learning the concepts but they also help you be prepared for the final exam.

I hope this helps, if you have any questions please let us know.

Kind regards,
Armin

Tutorial classes start week02

Posted by Dylan Brotherston 🕴️ Sunday 26 May 2024, 08:12:34 PM.

Hi everyone,

It has been brought to our attention that your myUNSW timetable says that tutorial classes start in week01. This is incorrect. Tutorial classes start in week02, only lectures run in week01.

We have notified UNSW Time-Tabling about the issue and your timetable should be updated early next week.

Hello everyone and welcome to COMP3311 24T2!

I'm Armin and I'll be the Lecturer in Charge this term.
Dylan will be the main course admin for this term. He will be dealing with most of the behind-the-scenes for the course.

You will also get to meet our fantastic 15 strong team of tutors in classes.

We made a similar announcement on ed but we noticed some students can not access ed at this stage. So we decided to make this announcement.

Course Overview and Welcome Video:
To help you get a head start and familiarise yourself with the course, I've prepared a course overview video. You can find similar resources at "Topic Videos" on the left menu.
https://webcms3.cse.unsw.edu.au/COMP3311/24T2/resources/100371

You should be able to view the video on Youtube and download the slides using the link above.

Accessing Course Forum (ED)

The course ED forum has set up, it is the best place for most questions.
Login to the course forum using this email format z1234567@unsw.edu.au where z1234567 is your zID.
Please read the welcome message for some forum etiquette guidelines and leave a message introducing yourself.
If you can't access the course forum try going to your ED profile setting in the top right corner and adding z1234567@unsw.edu.au and z1234567@ad.unsw.edu.au as alternative email addresses, again where z1234567 is your zID.

I'm looking forward to an engaging and productive term with all of you.

Kind regards,
Armin
