Abstract

Student feedback is crucial for the development of HCI learning experiences. Still, there is little research on how suitable the feedback methods are for gathering learning experiences and especially how the usage of the methods is experienced by the students. Hence, we have collected feedback using two different methods during an international two-week intensive course to understand the students’ experiences and to be able to compare the results. The methods were: the Retrospective Hand method and the Intensive Project Course Evaluation (IPCE) questionnaire method. Feedback was collected both during the course and on the last day of the course. By analyzing the feedback, we were able to iterate the course structure and content accordingly to meet the students’ needs. In this paper we describe the two methods and compare the results from both methods. We analyze the findings, discuss how these methods differ and discuss the usefulness of the feedback. Additionally, we advise how the two methods could be used in other courses for extending the communication between course teachers and students for improving the learning experiences.
