Student's
Comments - Winter 2010
From student's course comments
and personal reflections:
-
General comments:
-
I was looking for a seminar on
different aspects of assistive technology, and this was it.
-
[the course] exceeded my
expectations
-
In is breath, [the course]
exceeded expectations
-
I loved the course instructor and
student interaction
-
Five-star recommendation [of
course to other students]
-
I liked the [pre-lecture on the]
history of lots of devices
-
A good set of speakers with just a
few disappointments
-
There was a wide range of
[lecture] topics that made the course interesting
-
My expectations were more than met
and the course was quite interactive and a lot of fun.
-
I'm thankful for having taken ENGR
110 as it introduced me to a new branch of engineering and on a personal level,
it broadened and deepened my thinking, made me a better problem solver, a more
understanding student, and, most importantly, a better informed citizen of the
world.
-
It is hard to deny that ENGR 110
has been absolutely one of my favorite classes at Stanford - I have enjoyed
every lecture, every conversation, and every discussion!
-
In response to the question: Why
did you decide to enroll in the course?
-
An interest in Assistive
Technology. I was an MIT undergrad and there wasn't a course there that covered
assistive technology broadly (only the wheelchair design class, and I'm more
interested in blindness, visual impairment).
-
Interest in medical devices.
Wanted to work on a project.
-
Interested in medical
devices
-
Interested in the field because I
am a consumer of assistive technology.
-
I enjoy learning new
things.
-
I am curious and passionate about
Universal Design.
-
As a colleague of the instructor,
I attended the lectures.
From student's online course
evaluation:
-
There was a very good selection of
different topics relating to assistive technology. I would definitely take this
class again hoping to see even more speakers!
-
Words that come to mind when I think
of Dave Jaffe: extremely friendly, understanding, open,
flexible.
-
Was very helpful in providing
assistance when needed in the projects. Was very positive and friendly toward
the students and members of the Stanford community.
-
The project assignments were formatted
clearly. The presentations were a wonderful way of helping students get
involved with the Stanford community.
-
Every piece and bit of the class was
most excellent!
-
Materials were well-designed and
structured within the course. The lectures were interesting and the members of
the community motivated the students in their lectures.
-
Great course --- no other course like
it! Great instructor! Just a wonderful, life changing
experience.
-
The projects were fun in this course
and they gave me deeper insight on people with disabilities.
-
Thank you Dave for putting so much
effort into such a great course!
From student's and community
member's emails:
-
The lectures are
amazing.
-
I love this class! Trouble is, after
today's presentation, I can't turn off my brain. It's like a natural
high.
-
I learned a great deal about how to
incorporate the engineering aspect to the clinical side.
-
Thanks for making this possible, Dave
- good to have a venue for such an interesting collection of
people!
-
Thank you for your great class and for
making [lecture] materials available.
-
I didn't think I would ever make it
into the Stanford News. =)
-
I really enjoyed taking your
class.
