CR10

Overall, I enjoyed the Design 200 class this quarter very much. I thought that Gabe did a very good job trying to make what could have been a very plain, generic, and remedial class as fun and interesting as possible. For starters, I liked the blog format very much. Although I did not use it much for the purpose of reading and reviewing the work of my peers, I thought it was very convenient to have all of my work in the class located in one place, that I could access from anywhere with an internet connection. I also enjoyed how easy the blog format made it to submit assignments for the class. Simply publishing a post is much more convenient than printing out and turning in a hard copy. Regarding the in class activities and lectures, I thought that Gabe was very knowledgable of the material he was presenting, and accordingly was also aware of how dry and dull some of the topics could get so he made many attempts to present the material in as engaging and interesting a way as possible. The class was made much more enjoyable and bearable because of the positive and understanding attitude that Gabe brought to the table. One major way I feel that the experience could be improved would be to reduce the size of the class, but that is obviously something that the instructor has no control over and something that is a hard thing to do at a university like OSU.
