last assignment

1) What did you most enjoy about the class? Why?
To get a closer look into the Canadian culture and history. How Canadians
and Americans look at the same things, but see them completely different.
To also see the problems that Canada is facing in regard of internal as
well as external politics.

2) What did you least enjoy? Why?
There were a lot of names and places, only a few of us knew. The covering
of a couple of centuries in Canadian history and culture in just 2 to 3
weeks was just overwhelming from time to time. In the beginning, the
information we got was sometimes too much to absorb and to remember later
in the semester. This made the subject very often very difficult.

3) If this class were to be taught again, what would you do to improve it
if you were the instructor?
Show pictures of people and places, or even of historical events, or have a
geographic map of Canada available, so that the student can visualize the
different areas that you were talking about. This would have made it much
easier in the beginning.
