Written Comments (abbreviated)
Q.30 How was this course helpful to you?
1 Showed me that I can conceive of large projects w/ different types of sub-work (?) & execute
w/o panic
2 This course helped me to engage myself in the research process like I have never before -
I am more confident than ever in my strenghts and more aware of my weaknesses than I
ever thought posssible.
4 I came away with wonderful research tools and a better attitude about my writing.
5 Got me started on my synthesis project.
6 Helped me move towards goals in CCT program - prepared me for synthesis, built on my work in
all previous CCT courses.
8 Challenged me to work towards my research goals & gave me the tools I needed to achieve them.
9 I learned a systematic approach to reaearch that was creative and engaging.
10 It helped you develop work on your particular mode in your own style. Knowing your own style
helps you plan adequately.
11 It was a personal and professional benefit to have worked through the process.
12 My attitude in learning process is changed. I focus more on the process than the product. I
acknowledge that to achieve my goal I have to take effort to on the product.
13 taught great (?) approach to research and writing
14 Very valuable model for doing academic research.
Q.31 What did the instructor do that helped you learn?
1 Respectful of learner's process+ work & can articulate what he perceives the work is
extremely well.
2 Professor Taylor's ability to communicate the idea of learning and research as a process cannot
be overstated. I am leaving this course with many different tools and a confidence that I can and
will continue to use them.
3 Exercises/ 1 on 1 conferences/team groups/ Library workshop.
4 Provided insight through revise and resubmit process
5 Structured a long, enormous process into manageable steps with appropriate support & feedback. 
6 His revise & resubmit process is excellent, provides good, helpful feedback & allows for
intellectual growth.
8 Peter was thorough & detailed in his feedback, available for meetings, & wholly dedicated to the
students in this course.
9 Peter's open nature provided a safe environment which made me more comfortable for taking
risks. His expertise & knowledge were apparent in his approach as he was a good model.
10 Feedback on assignments. Discussion w/ other students during class. Assignments helped you
employ a variety of learning meanings(?)
11 He required submit, revise, resubmit & tho' it was a challenge, it helped me learn a lot
12 instructed me clearly and helped me right on track during the process/ accessible outside classroom/
accepted different learning styles and ability.
13 variety of assignments put into practice various approaches to synthesizing material & refining ideas
14 Very valuable written feedback.
Q.32 What could the instructor have done differently to help you learn?

3 Clearer syllabus.
4 At times clearer communication with one-on-one conference.
5 No complaints.
6 Nothing-- course was great.
