Sorry, Mrs. Myjak! I definitely have been thinking about feedback for the class; it's been on my mind, but I've been dealing with a lot of other stuff too!
I guess I could just answer the questions you've got up there...
1. I liked how much sense TOB made. I've heard so much about it (mostly because I've read a lot about JP II), so it was nice to finally explore it! There weren't a lot of struggles for me, aside from finally learning "okay, here's where the bar is set. Now you have to live up to that".
2. See answer to previous question.
3. I felt like I was finally finding my purpose, like someone was finally taking the time to speak the truth to me! And that rush of good feelings associated with learning the truth, with knowing "this is teaching you about who you really are, and Who God really is" made me excited!
4. Learning the truth! For me, it's hard to get better than that. The way that the class was taught certainly helped; I was able to understand all of the material discussed and explored, so there was no snag there.
5. There wasn't much about the class that I would fix! But, of course, there's always something. For starters, the time of day really stunk for me, so it was hard to motivate myself to attend a virtual class at an inconvenient time. Second, the discussion board: it was a really neat idea that started strong, but as people started dropping off, there were very few positive voices on the board. Third, the Zoom environment. Don't get me wrong, Zoom worked for this, but there are alternatives that might be more engaging to use. Fourth, the pace of the classes. I think that there was a little bit too much material crammed into each lesson, and that splitting each chapter into two sessions might have been a better method. That way, we would have had time to deal with all of the tangents that naturally came up, and still have plenty of time--and actually finish on time each time! [Edited for conciseness.]
6. I would definitely recommend this class! It's been so instrumental in my understanding of the Faith, of God, and of myself that I would easily recommend it to anyone and everyone regardless of whether or not they're interested!
Thanks again so much for teaching this class! It has been one of the most informative courses that I've taken this year, and has been such a blessing to learn this knowledge.
Thank you!
