There aren't many aspects of the course that I hate you have much control over. As always, I really enjoy having one-on-one time available to see you, and you always quickly respond to e-mails. One thing I don't particularly care for in the course is the peer reviews. I cannot stand them, I fell that I am often faced with a group that 1) has low standards or 2) doesn't want to piss anyone off. Because of this, I quite frequently receive little to no help in the revision process and feel as though we have wasted an entire class period on nothing.
Other than the classes not being longer (not your choice, I know), I never feel that there is much we can improve on. I do think our discussions bring about good ideas for our papers and I find myself actually learning aspects of the piece we are discussing I had not originally known/saw.
I really enjoy the class and hope this was helpful!
There were several suggestions that I gave during our meeting with Chris. I think that if we are required to do them as homework with a list of questions we MUST answer regarding the paper that we would be more likely to give helpful advice.
ReplyDeleteToday, I was again faced with the problem of not getting too many great ideas.
I also feel that being in a two person group might aid us in the ability to look at that one paper and analyize it.
