28.   Additional Comments
Great class! I liked how the group project tied in all the concepts we learned at the beginning of the semester.
Loved taking the course. I learned a lot about github and other programming languages. This will help me in the future when I'm looking for a job in the field.

31.   What were the positive and negative aspects of online learning in this class?
Positive: learned great modern tools that will prepare me for future employment Negative: WODs causing stress
It was hard to do group projects because we couldn’t meet in person. All the material we learned was online since it was a “flipped” class so it wasn’t that much different than if we were meeting in person. I feel like because the class was online the professors and TA’s were more available.
Negative: Final group Project made communication a bit difficult Positive: I didn't have to get up early
positive: easier and more convenient to ask a question
Some upsides were to be learning at home so utilities necessary were convenient, audio was nice and clear so there were no bugs. Only downsides was video bug issues where his screenshares were very glitchy but I feel that is more on discord's side of the issue.
The class was great and helped me learn a lot! The web design/project aspects of the course are really fun to play around with and makes learning easier. I enjoyed the homeworks. The screencasts were very helpful. Overall great class!
Positive, didnt have to drive through traffic. Negative, its easy to miss deadlines if you arent on top of all your classes.
Made it more time efficient, hard to work together on assignments
Positives: Everything was done online. Negatives: Could not meet my teammates in person to work on a project.
We could share our screens to get immediate help and pinpoint a problem that appeared in the code. A negative would be the amount of time spent out of class doing homework which is also understandable since online courses are harder to cover a wide variety of material all at once
positive is that it was on discord, an app i'm very familiar with. However the pace is somewhat fast so it was difficult at times.
The positives, I got to learn about ui-design at home with my own computer that I'd be using for my job, building applications using the knowledge from lectures, communicating and collaborating with other students. The negatives not having enough time granted everything is online and we can't see instructor in person to thoroughly go over code, not making friends within class, limited on communication limits and collaborating as online students are not as accepting to critique versus if it was in person.
More convenient to attend class. easy to contact professor and TA - Hard to meet people
