Student responses to survey

Jasmine Lee, senior, believes lecture videos are useful for relearning information. (Owen Silverman)

Jasmine Lee, senior

"The videos can give greater insight into a topic, however, only when they are used effectively and not to actually teach a topic but to relearn. The majority of times, these videos are rushed and you can barely comprehend the material due to (teachers) assigning simultaneous note-taking."

"I feel like teachers use lecture videos instead of lecturing themselves, which creates a barrier between the teacher and students. I often feel embarrassed or confused to ask questions due to my teachers not lecturing and instead it being on AP classroom or YouTube.

I think focusing more on lecturing in class and then doing more practice-based work at home would be more helpful. Having to watch lecture videos is draining, and often the information is not retained."

"Teachers need to put effort into creating proper schedules. Stop creating busy work assignments, and instead, use the time to lecture in person. It is not my job to teach myself out of the classroom."

"It enables me to pace myself better, and I’m able to skip parts that I don’t need to watch, which increases my time management."
