Thoughts on the Homework and Homework Answer slides?

[Holly-Le]

So we’ve been having the last slide of our PDF as the Homework Answer for the Homework exercise and it is written upside down. Does that bother you when you do the Homework exercise, or you prefer the Answers to be that hard to read?

Furthermore, would you prefer to have an answer sheet for all exercises in-class and off-class, or leaving the in-class answers for the teacher-student interaction is enough?

On the other hand, how have you incorporated the Homework exercise in your study? Do you find the current type of exercise for Homework effective? Any feedback or suggestion?

I usually solve the homework slide in class with the teacher as there’s plenty of time left. If I have the time to prepare for class, I also read everything on the slide beforehand and do the homework exercise beforehand. Personally, I don’t care if its upside down or not… sure would make it easier if it wasn’t and as we’re all self-studying anway, we should have the self-control not to peek at the correct answer.

As you mention it… sometimes there’s other exercises on the slide that I forget the answer to, maybe because we only talked about the solution in class. E.G. the word order exercises. Having the correct answers to that somewhere would sometimes be helpful.

I enjoy all exercises but I’m sometimes missing some more ressources for practicing the newly learned grammar.

For those moments when you want to double-check solutions or get step-by-step help, tools like https://overchat.ai/math/homework-solver can be really useful. It helps break down problems clearly, making self-study more effective and less frustrating.

Thank you for your approach - it’s great that you try to prepare in advance and actively work in class. It really helps to learn the material better and not get lost in the topic.

I understand that sometimes you want more resources for practice, especially for new grammar rules. Perhaps an additional base with correct answers or explanations would help to consolidate knowledge and increase confidence. In such cases, it is useful to use different sources and exercises to diversify learning and not get stuck on one format.

Self-discipline is a great skill, and it’s great that you try not to peek, but to really work on yourself. If you manage to find additional materials for practice, this will definitely enhance the effect of the classes and make learning more productive and interesting!
