+I really enjoyed this course and find myself frequently thinking and talking about many of 
+the things I learned.  I really feel that the online practice teaching was very helpful for 
+me. I also become passionate about giving and receiving feedback.  Before this course I didn't 
+take criticism well, and maybe could still work on this.  But having practiced 
+giving and receiving feedback, it has really hit me how important this is in order to improve.
+I also hope to create an atmosphere in my own working environments where feedback is given 
+in order to help, without any negative or harmful intent.
+
+I did really like the structure of the course, though I do think it would have been nice to 
+have a syllabus outline of the class schedule, with dates for when the assignments should be 
+posted.  There was a lot of discussion about if the class should be a 2 day intensive course.
+I however liked the the long form.  It worked well to have time to do the readings, post, and 
+comment on others posts before the next meeting.  
+
+I also liked the listening and participating via MoPad format.  Though it might have been nice 
+if the BlueJeans program had worked when we tried, since then we can see the other learners.  
+It might have been nice to have more of a 'cohort', where went to the same session (if 
+possible) and did assignments with the same people.  Especially at first, I felt like a very small part 
+of the very large class.  I felt more comfortable once I had skyped with my small group, and 
+ met some others in an online in a git tutorial.

+Thanks for teaching this course Greg!  I really enjoyed it.  And thanks to all of my various 
+groupmates for their feedback! Looking forward to the possibility of teaching with some of you.
