The Experience Chat (Erfarenhetssamtalet) happens once every few months. The purpose is to find new ways to improve our lessons and your learning. Feke wants to make our classes feel good and to be valuable.
Sit together with Feke and some classmates (~3-4 students) and discuss how things are going:
Look at the results from the latest test. How do we feel about the latest test results?
What caused these specific results?
What went really well that we should keep doing?
What felt bad or didn't go as planned?
How can we change that moving forward?
Take notes in your booklet.
While waiting for your turn, read your book.
Once done with your Experience Chat, return to class and continue reading your book.
