How can we continue to enhance the class? (content, approach, community spotlight presentations, assignments, other...)

The class was structured very logically which made it helpful to follow the "road map"

I really loved the discussion portion of the class. Interacting and learning from everyone was helpful. Talking about the actual state of the world was invaluable as we are thinking about how our work and education fits within that context.

I appreciated the opportunity to present parts of our final proposal throughout the semester and getting feed back

The class and course content were very interactive, insightful, and impactful. The atmosphere was cordial, friendly, and relaxed, which encouraged effective learning and assimilation.

There are a LOT of resources! It was a bit hard to navigate, even though I really appreciated the assignments guide, I feel like I did quite a bit of clicking around the canvas page. I appreciated the resources but maybe a different organization tactic? Not completely sure.

Some of the links in Canvas and on the course schedule/assignment guide were broken.

Hmm. I am going to think about this. The course was well packaged, though it seems intimidating initially on the surface, but consistency is the key.

The course, I think, should have a part 2 or 3 to delve deeper into practical applications of the theories, frameworks, and models. There was a lot that was compressed into this single course. It was a marathon.

I liked the structure of the assignments and how they all built up to our final proposal. It was great to be able to adjust based on feedback from the presentations for each section!

The lecture slides were a little hard to navigate because they had so much information. The road map helps a lot and did I appreciate how in-depth the information was. However, it seemed like we would go over the same examples throughout the semester - so it might be helpful to evaluate which examples best showcase which theory/method.

I could've done without the field guide. It's not that it was a lot of work, but I enjoyed gleaning insights from the readings in class more than I did from the prompts. It also seemed so much more stressful to fill it out than discussing in class.

I really appreciated that you got to know us and started many of the classes by sharing highlights. I don't think there's enough opportunities to do that and it truly helps build a connection with our classmates.
