Please comment on the following:

  1. Course Readings: Should I change these, add more readings, add more academic type readings, or even delete readings?
  2. Films: Do you like getting to vote on the film choice or would you prefer to have the teacher make the choice? What films would be worth considering for the course?
  3. Group Presentations: How did you like doing these presentations? How did you like listening to these presentations? Should I keep this activity? Should it be modified in any way?
  4. Comic Book Paper: I left this as an open ended project. Did you like this format or should it be changed, perhaps structured more specifically?
  5. Guest Speakers: Were these presentations useful? Should there be fewer of these? Should I use the same people?
  6. Evaluation: Should there be an exam or quizzes?
  7. Course Themes: Should I change the themes we covered (invisibility vs. flight, secret identities, the hero code, etc.)? Should they be more literary in focus? Are there other themes you think I should cover?
  8. Any other suggestions about the course?
