Two more weeks!
The italicized comments are my responses. I value all feedback, opinions, and contributions to the classroom. Thank you for sharing this with me–it helps me address your needs as a section. Please review these weekly, you’ll find that it benefits you well. Be intentional when it comes to your education.
Section 001 (MW)
- Presentations today (Wednesday) were very inspiring as well as informative. I felt like they were more informative about the presenters themselves and opened a window to how culture has affected our classmates. It was a nice transition.
- Job well done all around!
- I love this class. So glad I took it. I just keep getting more and more excited about learning from people’s presentations.
- We are learning about our classmates through these presentations. We are not only learning about other countries or course material. It’s all really deep and makes me love this class even more.
- This specific section is special. You all work very well together.
- The people today seem to have good ties and I do not think its coincidence of what countries we all have chosen. Everyone seems to glow a bit brighter.
- Great observation!
- Seems like the presenters have had fun researching and presenting! Everyone’s done a good job of including the audience in the fun!
- I’m gaining so much from the presentations! It has also been such a joy to see how our class has become a mini community! Just through sharing other cultures we’ve gotten to know more about each other’s individual cultures! It takes a special environment to create such a hospitable space for these interactions!
SECTION 006 (TR)
- I love this class and I am going to miss this so much! I wish I could retake the class, just because it is so much fun!
- You can always take GS3010EXL and GS3200 with me.
- Will you be going to Lollapaloozain Chicago in August? You should.
- I’ve never been to Lollapalooza but I’ve been to Chicago. Love that city! Have fun!
- I’ve loved the presentations, this has been such a no stress way to end class, love it!
- I’m so glad that I am done with the presentation. It’s really nice to watch presentation without being stressed out about having to worry about your presentation. My favorite kind of final I’ve had yet. Have a good weekend.
- Great feedback, thanks!
- It’s been a hard month, but we almost made it.
- You’re practically there!
- This class uses a lot of paper. It would be nice to see more paperless techniques.
- Thanks for the feedback. I’m aware but can’t figure out how to win this one just yet… I may have to try going to D2L completely. We’ll see! If you have suggestions, let me know!
- The projects keep getting better and better.
- Doing that presentation was actually fun. I worked really hard and can tell everyone else worked very hard as well.
- Kudos! The work you put in pays off!
- I was initially nervous about this project, but I honestly think it was worth it. I am learning so much about other cultures and although it is nowhere near traveling to another country, this experience is so enriching!
- What’s your biggest pet peeve when people are presenting? P.S. You were rocking that hat today!
- My biggest pet peeve is people not giving their classmates the attention they deserve. If it were me up there–that’s a different story because I’m regularly there–but when it’s a classmate it’s disrespectful. While others may think we (faculty) are oblivious, we are not. I am aware of participation and lack thereof…but again, it’s also clearly stated on the grading scheme in the course. 😉 And thanks, I got the hat at Urban Outfitters!
Section 009 (TR)
- These projects are awesome. It’s great to see that you granted us so much creative freedom. It’s so nice to see what’s important to everyone else.
- Thanks for this feedback! I know it can be a challenge to find a topic sometimes, but once we find it–it is great to see passionate presentations.
- I love the enthusiasm most of my classmates have for their countries! I’m a natural procrastinator but I started two weeks ahead of my schedule because I was so excited.
- Presentations were great today. I’m so glad mine went smoothly–I guess taking speech totally helps!
- It definitely helps, but it doesn’t stop there. Keep practicing! It’s going to benefit you more in the long run in every aspect of your life.
- The presentations have been really interesting and makes me want to visit many of the places. Definitely enjoying the food!
- Loved the food! Yum! 🙂
- I enjoy coming to the presentations every class period. I love to travel! Can’t wait until I get my degree and I can make the money to travel everywhere!
- Some girls stole my photoset without crediting me. I am not amused.
- I am willing to help you out but because these are anonymous I can not–let me know if you change your mind. Everyone, always give credit where credit is due.
