This class answered all my questions that I was confused about from the previous class. I enjoyed watching and discussing with the other teams about their presentations.

I enjoined this class.  Not only was my team and I allowed to get out of our seats and present, we were also able to discuss with other classmates.  After this weeks class I was able to see where my peers stood on topics from sustainability to stewardship.  I also enjoined the discussions we had in class.  I felt a lot more engaged and awake.

I really enjoyed the group presentations. I appreciated that the class got involved in our presentation and were answering our questions. I was nervous about being the first group to present but I felt that overall that we got our message across and delivered the material in a efficient way. I am feel better that I now have a better understanding of the expectations of the class requirements and I am looking forward to our field trip this week.

I think this past class went very well for every group that presented. The conversations were easy to start and almost everyone got involved. The different groups presenting make the class seem to flow better, sometimes one person talking is easy to tune out. It’s very beneficial to the class to get many different opinions on a given subject, it allows every student to form a personal opinion.

This class was confusing for me. Towards the end of class we formed groups and picked chapters for our presentations, but I feel like it was unorganized and wasn’t clear on what we were supposed to do for the class. I liked that we took the quiz on how many Earth’s we take up. I never knew what I could do to help the environment more, and this quiz showed me in what aspects I can improve on.

This class was interesting because I was able to find out what University Colloquium was about.  Many of the questions I had concerning this course were answered and I am looking forward to the rest of the semester.

I really enjoyed the lecture this class, it helped me get a better understanding of what Colloquium was all about. I liked hearing how many worlds it would take to support everyone's lifestyle in the class. It was interesting and it got me thinking about ways that I can be more green in my own life
