6. Student feedback on Piazza
“Piazza helped solidify the concepts from the readings. It
encouraged one to think more about the reading and discover
connections between each week's theme.”
“We had the chance to reflect on our readings and post
questions. This really helped me think critically about the
material- especially in answering other student's questions
and seeing how their responses compared to mine.”
“I could post a question/answer anytime. Also, as each
question had its own space for answers, it was visibly easy to
connect the answers to the questions.”
