Feedback

The student readings helped us from a technical point of view. We saw the techniques, strengths, and weaknesses of others. It also helped us from a aesthetic point of view. For example, the aesthetics of a scene that someone described. Finally, it helped reignite in us the love of language, and learning. The stories of people fascinated me. I was able to discover that they had a rich, inner world just like me.

It was beneficial. I was able to understand the different thought processes of different people and each one was very unique in their own way. It is a great method to appreciate and understand other works. It was great to meet the faculty, TA's and students from various places. We learnt alot through this workshop. Thank you.
