Course Analytics

Student feedback on Piazza

“Piazza helped solidify the concepts from the readings. It encouraged one to think more about the reading and

discover connections between each week's theme.”

“We had the chance to reflect on our readings and post questions. This really helped me think critically

about the material- especially in answering other student's questions and seeing how their responses

compared to mine.”

“I could post a question/answer anytime. Also, as each question had its own space for answers, it was visibly

easy to connect the answers to the questions.”
