Discussion

Comments on the importance of open and free discussion between students


 This has honestly been one of the best courses I’ve taken at UNC. I think the most effective aspect was (in class) letting students vocalize opinions, ideas and answers.

 I enjoyed the class, it was much more interesting than I expected it to be. It was one of my most interesting classes at Carolina. I liked the amount of discussion in class and the work in teams. I think both of these contributed very much to learning and understanding the material.

 Make sure that you continue to ask for feedback/discussion from my peers in order to keep everyone’s attention sufficiently attentive.

 The in-class quizzes and group discussion have helped me to gain a greater appreciation for the readings, and have allowed me to truly LEARN the concepts.

 I like how it’s going so far, because of the group work. It makes it more interesting than just a lecture everyday. Plus I also like group-work because I get other students’ ideas and input.

 I like the interaction among the classmates and don’t feel like this class is just a boring lecture class.

 I have especially enjoyed the discussion format of the class. The group discussions seem to help one get a feeling for the reading and further helps one to understand the discussion after it.

 So far I have thoroughly enjoyed this course. I love the discussion we have – everyone can share his/her opinion.

 Fun class – I like the discussion a lot.

 This course is good stuff. I mean it is fun to go to class because I expect an interesting discussion each time and that’s what I get.

 I’m really starting to like this course. I really enjoy the interaction part of it. I believe that class discussions/debates are the best way to get involved in a specific area.

 You are a very personable teacher and the class actually talks to each other. I think that getting ideas off each other (discussing) is one of the best ways to learn.

 This is my favorite course as of yet. I like the small layouts and subject matter. Classroom discussions help out a lot, as well as integrating technology into our learning. The McDonald’s assignment was great, and hands on learning I think helps provide more reason for deeper thought from an individual.
