P1:
Breakout room designed for small group discussion, increase engagement class. Usually unsupervised, people not doing there work.
Feel different when full of productive people, but not usually the case. Usually everybody was doing their own stuff, and the person picked in charge will work out everything by their self, and only talk their own stuff. Making things up.
Very productive people and exhausted. Sometimes everybody is discussing, but time zone makes S feels sleepy. Usually, can keep up with the peace, but sometimes not. Two challenges, 1) feel cozy and sleepy 2) discussion content not interesting.
Feel shamed for not participating well.

P2:
Like:
1, random: you won’t have to pick which one, sometimes you don’t know who the people are.
Dislike:
1, random people, not willing to talk, you and someone else talking. The third person won’t communicate.

Fine with breakout room and random people, certain type of people does not contribute even being called on. Maybe just sleeping in, not answering. Impact: try to talk to a person who is not talking. Not really affect much.

P3:
Like it. Nice to sperak to people. Loss that in virtual class.
Avg. 5 people. C-1. Biologo 2 people (hard, sometime don’t know how to talk, call for help). Samler better social interactions. Turn off camera and not resounding (7+ apply to this).

P4:
Prefer listening to lectures. Medium shy, don’t want to talk in class.

P5:
Like when you have some time for breakout group if other people are not engaged. People don’t speak a lot in the main class but will speak in small groups.
Dislike if other people are not engaged in the class. S is in the middle, not very engaged but still will work with students to talk. If actual discussion, will want to be part of it. Awkward and quiet, will feel uncomfortable.
Don’t like how you have to present in front of people. Pressure goes away if a lot to say (quality discussion). If no one else, S hate to fake a discussion. Nothing to do with the difficulty of the question.

P6:
Dislike.
1. don’t like having a spotlight in the class. In the chem breakout rooms, Peer mentor to coming in to check if camera on and talking. PM not utilized correctly, not policing.
2.Didn’t care to be forced to patriciate.
3 Prefer individual work when struggling
4 Bad experience other people don’t respond. At the end of the semester, nobody participate except S. Worse in smaller group.
6 Breakup the class time. Dislike STEM class approach at UNC Self-teach hard questions,
7 If not paying attention to class anyway, breakout group force you to pay attention. S stopped hearing to keep up the appearance. Don’t know how to facilitate. Encouraged to know peer better. Mightbe easier. Feel like people in the class in physics studio.

P7:
Like it.
1. Discussion close to in-person experience.
2. Make S feel engaged.
3. Learned more and know classmates.

P8:
Overall, don’t like

Like:

Smaller group, takes the pressure off induvial students from know everything. Connect to other students, don’t feel lonely.

Slowing down peace. Lecture went fast, having hard time keeping up. Nervous. Being able to ask questions to P and fellow students on a smaller level.

Dislike:

Don’t know people, awkward. In spring, don’t go back to campus. 2hrs away from chapel hill, some people are already friends with each other. Breakout go over and turned off sound and stay in silence.

Sometimes no one talks. Once or twice in Linguistic 290. One group will always have two people. If a good teammate (interactive and engaged), will speak up. Teammate (not interactive and not engaged), S doesn’t want to talk.

P9:
Like the breakout group.
Besides work, have extra conversation with class. Nice to mimic in-person small groups. S feel like knowing people.
One class annoying, assignment/topic was not clear in terms of instructions and P expectations.

Don’t like the people in the group, person not conducting inappropriately. Personality was not social affect the experience.

Again, we begin by setting expectations. This could be further improved by specifically stating “there are 9 total responses”. What this next does is define some sort of delimiter so that a batch of responses can be uploaded rather than entering each one at a time.

You
I have conducted a survey of student opinions on the use of the breakout room function of Zoom for online course. Each participant answer is coded as P1 through P9. I will first give you each response.

In this prompt we specify what we want as well as the parameters. Once you have a response you can supply additional prompts to ask how many responses liked or disliked a particular trait, or ask for a list of responses that shared some response in common so that you can do follow-up analyses of similarities between those responses.

You
I would like you to summarize what it is students most like about breakout rooms and what they most dislike about breakout rooms. Include 3 items for what is most liked and 3 items for what is most disliked.
