Top 10

1. I wish there had been more feedback in the beginning. Even sentence long comments on blog posts would  have sufficed. 

2. This class actually wasn't what I was expecting, but it turned out to be a really interesting exploration of multimedia writing. 

3. Books: either fewer, or more frequent use of them. 

4. The flexibility of the syllabus was very refreshing. Throughout the semester, it was tailored to where the class was headed. In the end I think the changes were beneficial. 

5.  Clarity about blogs in the beginning- I think a lot of people struggled with balancing multiple blogs. For example, some didn't know where to write in first person, and didn't know where to post different assignments. In a few cases these introductory issues have followed them all the way to the conclusion of the class, so it would have been nice to have further explanation before even creating the blogs. 

6.  I think separating the class into groups was a smart move, and made it much easier to manage. This also allowed for the whole group work experience- eg. managing meetings, consistency, etc. 

7. InDesign training was stressful. I wish a little bit more time was devoted to this section of the course. 

8. The April 5th presentations were probably the coolest thing I've done for a class all semester. Great, great idea. 

9. Working with the CAC class was perhaps unnecessary. We were never really clear on their goals for their class, neither were they on ours, so the collaboration didn't go smoothly and ended up being fruitless.  

10. Overall, interesting course! A nice break from standard English/ Writing classes.
