Please tell us what you were most satisfied with in this lecture series.
# Response
1. Lecturer was very well prepared and each class was well structured.
2. The subject matter and the level of discussion. The lecturer possessed the ability to make the
subject matter accessible yet challenging for adult learners. Her approach was very respectful and
she also possessed a sense of humour. I leave this lecture series with a critical analysis of women
and hysteria in fiction.
3. The lectures were well organized.
4. The inquiry into the workings of the mind was informative and I did enjoy the information on
Freud as I found him in some ways very funny.
My background is art history and although there is very little known about Leonard Da Vinci's
childhood, Freud can still attempt to analyze him!
5. Well organized. Very interesting. I learned a lot.
 6. I most enjoyed being exposed to new ideas about attitudes towards women. The discussions
about Mrs. Dalloway were the best because the lecturer obviously knew the material inside out.
7. The lecture series content was informative and as a result, I have read more than just what the
lecturer suggested.

Please tell us what you were least satisfied with in this lecture series.
# Response
1. The lecturer had knowledge of the material and was not able to go beyond the parameters.
Although it was a literature lecture series, issues related to other disciplines were raised and she
was not able to go into those areas.
2. The slides were informative but I would have preferred less of them.
3. I found the topic very boring.
4. I would have like to have had more time to study the topic.
5. The lecturer is very well organized, to the extent that she sometimes goes too slowly, following
her slides rigidly.
