highlight of this course. |

|
| more field time |
| Not sure if i learned enough techniques about archealogy. But class was very laxed aside from labor.
some students said that they didn't get much out of it. still evaluating how i feel |
| Having more organization from the beginning would be helpful. Knowing everyday what will be going on would be beneficial. Also, making sure that all presentations are given before field work begins |
| I thoroughly enjoyed Mary's teaching style and methods. This was a
successful course for everyone involved. |
|
|
17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....
|
| she is awesome and I want her back next year |
| nice lady |
| She's awesome! Enjoyed every minute spent with her! |
| Very personable and very willing to provide prompt feedback along with thoughtful responses to questions. |
| Mary was wonderful. Terrific interaction with students and an eagerness to
share her knowledge. |

|
| This is a great course and it needs to be renewed both as a training aid for archaeology and a teaching aid for Japanese history |
| ok |
| Class is awesome. What a great way to learn about US history and archaeological methods. The information is so interesting. I only wish there were more answers to the questions the camp poses. I hope that in the future these classes will lead to answers and to a wonderful park to help explain the important history to everyone. |
| One of the BEST courses I have ever taken! |

2. If this course was taken to fulfill course requirements for your concentration/major, how did this course enhance your personal and/or professional development in your concentration/major?
|
| It taught me the value of how important it is to understand archaeology. It also gave me some great skills that will help me with my future. |
| This course taught me every functional thing i know about archaeology |
| This course taught me a lot about archaeology... I knew nothing really about it, but the information provided from the class helped me to look at things in a different way. The past contains a lot of information and we can use this information to better our future. |
| This course helped my major by providing an insight to what archaeology is all about. Gives
some skills to fulfill some job requirements for a student to start on. |
| This course helped me by showing me some methods archaeologists use to complete everyday tasks
on the job. |
| The opportunity for hands-on field work and a chance to work side by side
with experts in the field really gave me a chance to ask questions and learn
much more than I would have just in a classroom setting. |
| It helped me to decide what I really want to get into for my Anthropological career. It was a great learning experience. |

| I would think that maybe adding more required literature for the class. Also, maybe have more field trips to better undertand Honouliuli better. |
| the weekly activities could be changed around a bit |
| I think the structure of this class is perfectly suited the way it is... I wouldn't change a thing.. |
| More excavation. |

|
| I would really like it if the class was longer than 3 weeks! It just felt too short and I wanted to spend more time at Honouliuli. |
| Mary was great! |
| The only suggestion I have is the Mary Farrell CANNOT retire... She brings so much knowledge and experience to this course, I wouldn't want to take it from anyone else. :) |
| More digging and less class room work. |
| I'd love to see more time in the field, interspersed with the class days.
Three weeks just doesn't seem long enough to really feel fulfilled with the
class. |
| None. |

|
17. My overall evaluation of this instructor is....

| Awesome instructor and understands the students. Goes out of her way for students and
listen to opinions. She allows student to explore and develop their own ideas based on
materials provided. |
| Wonderful. The class was very exciting and you could tell she was interested in what she was
teaching which made class enjoyable. She was also very helpful and took all suggestions |
| Excellent teacher, professional yet approachable, willingly answers all
questions and excited about the material. |
| Awesome! |
| Great instructor and a warmhearted person. |
| She's the best! |

| Just great! Very interesting and Honouliuli is a beautiful place. I would love to see it again next year! |
| This is an outstanding course, I only wish it was longer |
| I would recommend students to take this course. I walked in there with no knowledge on Field Archaeology and left with a new insight on what goes on, the history of places, and what is done out in the field... Excellent course! |
| Course was great and had a great experience. Would definitely do it again or sign up for the
course again. |
| Great class I would just like more time excavating. |
| Wish I could do it again, I thoroughly enjoyed this course and wish it were
longer. |
| Awesome! |
| Very good. |
