6. Which aspects of the course were most valuable?
|
| The writing assignments helped me grasp the concepts taught in the course. The student presentations where also very interesting. |
| Lectures. Student Interaction. Material used such as books were interesting to read. |
| Creating the individual project, the research, and the presentation |
| lectures and books |
| I liked linking real examples with students' presentations that we learned about in class beforehard. It helped me understand and apply the concepts better. Also, I enoyed learning both sides of the arguments of globalization for the writing assignments. |
| lectures of her with the powerpoint presentation |
| Most valuable to me were: class dialogues, discussions, film clips/video clips, and I enjoyed the presentations. |
| The slideshow. |
| The course was designed in way that students can proactively learn from one another and engage in discussions about current issues related to trade and globalization. |
| she is great teacher |
| Having each student present on a trade topic was unique. |
|
|
7. Which aspects of the course were least valuable?
|
| Nice teacher but a little a bit too long term devorted students' presentation. |
| None. |
| reading Bhagwati |
| it was intresting to have different powerpoint but it was just a little bit too many |
| n/a |
| I though everything was needed for a deeper understanding of the concepts and topics discussed in class |
| The small writing assignments were of no use to me. |
| Powerpoint presentations were un-useful and took up a lot of the time. Readings were hard to understand. |

17. Other comments:
|
| I really enjoyed this class. The instructor was very knowledgeable and approachable. |
| Change in grading scale. |
| I liked the lectures and thought the books were very interesting. |
| Really liked the textbooks assigned to us. Both sides of the argument had legitimate stances. Only Bhagwati's was a bit difficult to read because of writing style.
Enjoyed watching other students' presentations. |
| n/a |
| Went through some of the slide really fast, which sometimes resulted in me not quite understanding the materials. On top of that, we didn't realy have a textbook that went with the slideshow which made it hard to understnad the concept. |
| A gem of a professor. The most approachable and open minded professor I ever met in the Economics Department. |
| I would have made the Spring class a writing intensive class because both the
Fall 2009 and Fall 2010 classes are WI. |
| bad course structure.
the individual projects took up over half of the semester and were a waste of time. |
