This class was lots of fun! Very different than any other course I have taken here. It was great to reflect on these past four years. Really makes me realize how much I have accomplished!

This course was the most unconventional I’ve ever taken at Wesleyan (in a good way!). I say this because I believe it is the first class that focused on us as individuals, students distinct from the work we do, our majors, classes, and grades, and focuses on our experiences as human beings on a college campus.

The fact that the class has a chill and enjoyable environment makes you more willing to participate and honestly, you don’t end up not doing the homework because you need to but because you genuinely want to, which I believe is a complete victory. You are able to use the knowledge from the course directly in your personal life, which elevates the engagement of the class.

The course helped me take stock of the last four years of my time at Wesleyan and write about experiences that I was proud to share. It was good to learn how to write about significant experiences.

One of the most structured and organized classes that I’ve had. Every exercise directly connects to the videos that we had to watch and a step closer to designing our website. A really great way for me to frame how experiences I’ve had during my Wesleyan career give value to other experiences and skills I have gained.

I think everyone should be required to take this course before their senior year. It was one of the most useful classes I have taken at this school. It allowed me to look deeper at my experiences and build a portfolio out of them! Really interesting course.

I cannot say enough good things about the structure of this course. It was always extremely clear what was expected of students, and I feel like I learned so much about writing for the web and about crafting an effective website!

I thought this class was very fun and helped me with skills that I would not have a chance to improve on in other classes, such as designing a website, or thinking critically about my own tasks.

I really enjoyed this course because it is different from most of the courses I have taken during my time at Wesleyan. It made me understand myself better and contextualize things I have done and achieved.

It taught me practical plug ins and features to include in a website. It also helped me consider accessibility features to make the website usable by people with low/poor vision, people who are blind, or people with LDs.

This class, or at least components of it, should somehow be required for all undergraduates because understanding and communicating the importance of our liberal arts experiences is difficult but essential.

I loved this course for it helped me reflect on my time here at Wesleyan. This was my favorite class I have taken thus far from my time here.

This class showed me what it takes to make a website by first showing me the planning process and the imagination that it takes to think of a full concept. Also, it showed me what it takes to finish the concept and really build it out to look the way you imagined it.

The assignments helped me realize how much growing and maturing I have done since I came to Wesleyan, and what events lead to my growth. Also, the course helped me realize and work on things I need to improve. It is a very fun course that is useful and teaches valuable lessons by reflecting on experiences.

There are not many chances to reflect on your time at Wes, but this course did exactly that.

I thought I was going to reflect on my liberal arts education, but to be honest, wasn’t expecting to be as surprised as I was by the actual shape of the course! I thought the exercises were all very creative and clever and created space for reflection, which otherwise wouldn’t have happened. I really appreciate the design of the course.

This course helped me learn ways in which I can talk about experiences in my life to fit into different categories of personal growth, etc. I would not have learned this if I had not taken the course and I am so happy that I decided to take this course.

Being apart of Wes you automatically have an understanding that even though we’re all here we’re all doing so many different and cool things that you always can’t keep up with what others are doing. So through this class I was able to learn more about people, and also go in-depth and explore the different facets of campus life that I typically have no exposure to.

For the first time, I thought about things like the flow of the website, the real user–experience, the audience personas – all helped me step into the shoes of my website visitors and really design for them.

This is an amazing course to take as a senior because you are able to take some time and really reflect on your time at Wesleyan and then how to use that reflection on how to highlight the lessons you’ve learned and how that has prepared you for whatever comes next.

The course was extremely well organized and course/class expectations were always clearly established and accessible. It helped me plan ahead a lot, and I feel like I have a tangible product that I’m extremely proud of. This was one of my all–time favorite classes at Wes.

This course was so helpful in teaching me about website design. I also became much more comfortable talking about myself and what I’ve done.

I loved this course. I got to build a website around something I am very passionate about. I highly recommend this course.

Love the informal, yet informative set up of this course. It gives students the space to be creative and find something they are passionate about.

A major strength of this course is that it reminds students of their accomplishments and merit. I feel like as a student body we get so wrapped up in the next thing, to the next A, the next accomplishment that we forget all that we have done. It was nice to look back and remind myself of all that I have achieved while here at Wes. All these accomplishments and experiences have shaped me and my understanding of myself and why I do what I do.

This course is one of the most interesting I have ever taken. Being able to just talk about myself and explore my experiences has been revealing, eye awakening and exciting.
