Well thanks to the students that hung in there last term. Here is one of the student evaluations. I really like the idea of a group project and will use it next term.
Thursday 5th period, Journalism(4-H-22 11303188)

Hello, I remember that you mentioned at the end of the class you told us that we had to write 2 things that we liked about the class
and 2 things we did not like about the class.

One of the things I liked about the class is that the fact that we had homework every week. Having homework every week motivated
me, and lead me to look for new news often, and be interested in the media. I think it is a good chance to always be aware.
Another thing I liked about the class is the field trip. It was only a day to go around the Asahi Shinbun, but it was a great experience.
I never knew how the newspapers were made exactlly. Also, I did not know how hard it is to make a news paper, and that there has
to be that many people in order to make the news paper each and everyday.
I do not really have anything that I did not like about the class, but it would have been better if we had a group assignment or something
that would involve the class mates, so that we could all know each other well.
It was a fun class, although it was a really really small class.
Thank you very much for teaching us for a year.
