The class vibe
Sometimes it can feel a bit rushed but overall it's a great experience.
Teaching method is easy to understand
None
I look forward our company Aker to continue the A2 course
Flexibility time-wise, interactivity, access to all materials, variety of tasks, short videos (and possible to change speed when needed)
The clarification of the requirements needed for getting a certificate has been unclear to me from the start. Also sometimes it seems that a lot of work has been done but the progress bar hasn't moved forward:) The percentage bar moves forward very slowly (perhaps an idea to split it to 2 - A1-1 and A1-2 - to get more sense of achievement).
Nice instructors
Easy to follow and lots of chances to join in.
Sometimes the lesson were repeated. No classes on Friday.
I am very impressed so far and I have made very good progress.
I like everything!
Nothing
Keep up the good work!
Veldig intenst
Mye å lære på kort tid
I am opening a new world and starting to be able to communicate to norwegian people.
Interaction and easy explanation
Nothing as such, it was good for beginner
Try to make more online meetings over the weekdays.
flexible extensive
lack of additional class for working student
I would expect to see more additional class option for working student.
Organization of the course and the teacher's availability to help with all of our doubts
I think maybe the classes should be longer but with a small recess in the middle...? Considering we always correct the homework and need time to do it and to learn new things without rushing
The teacher (Ann-Magritt) has great teaching skills, she is also very humble and patient with the students and deserves all of our gratitude. I noticed a lot of effort from her, she is there before us and leaves the school very late and still she is available to send us material to study and answers her emails. 5* teacher!! Consider her for level B please
The teaching process
Not applicable
No
That it takes place in person. It’s much better than online lessons.
Not enough samtale. Maybe it’s coming later. It would have been nice to practice more speaking. That is something I personally would like to learn asap.
How instructor led the class
Maybe some grammar need to be explain more
No
The teachers are awesome, the structure is well developed and the additional study material very helpful
Perhaps some classes are too large and people with flexible subscriptions tend to go in the evenings mostly. But its not too bad.
The workload is adequate and the teachers are good. I plan to attend more classes in the next months.
I need to cime to the classes, prepare, do homework, teacher speaks bergensk accent
A bit slow for me, I think the other group has managed to do more (i just think so), maybe more speaking would be goos as we will listen and speak every day
Forgot to mention that the combo of book and online materials are good, if u missed a class u can still keep up with everyone!
The interaction and the learn by doing and practicing
That it is only 2Times a week! I wished to have at Least 3 times a week
I had a great time during that time and the people surrounding me could see that I have made big improvements in terms of understanding though the road is still long but at least I can catch some words and make simple sentences.
Interactive sessions
Feels fast sometimes
Could try to use different effective methods to teach students a new language
The in person lessons and time with the teacher
Some of the online homework feels like kind of an afterthought.... would be nice if it paralleled class more closely.
It's very good
There is nothing like this... everything is good.
Jeg er glad med kurset
It is very interactive and live course. Also good online sessions available which helps in addition to classroom sessions.
The course is very short time and fast pace.
It would be good if the course is more detailed in terms of teaching and material.
Comprehensive learning
nothing
The course is advancing too quickly. I am working so it is challenging to catch up on courses on time.
