Week 11 blog -- reflect on the class this quarter

For your last blog for this class and this quarter, please share your feedback on the course. Here are some questions for you to consider:

1. Overall, was the class worthwhile to you? Why? What (happily) surprised you?
2. What are some recommendations you have for improving any of the three major assignments: Gen Ed Best Practice, Exit Plan, or This I Believe?
3. What did you think of doing the weekly blog? I know that Blogger sometimes didn't work for some of you. Do you think, for example, a discussion board in eCompanion would work as well?
4. What were some of the other in-class activities you found most useful and/or enjoyable (personality type card game and groups, writer's notebook, class discussions, etc.)
5. What other recommendations do you have for improving the class? 

The following statement is not intended to influence your response, but only to reflect on my own experience with you:

It's been a pleasure working with you all. I admire how willing you were, as seniors, to devote the time and energy to this class when your program classes are also so demanding. I know that many of you came to this class unaware of what to expect, and am grateful you kept open minds to the activities we did and the work I asked of you. I think we developed a fine learning community that crossed all the majors represented. I will be proud to show off your work next week to our guests.
