The very engaging lectures and on screen persona by the Professor ensured that
working on the course didn't feel a lonely experience. The depth of insight
into a genre of literature was truly enriching. Peer interaction was intensive
and useful. On my session there was no direct engagement by course staff on
the forums, nonetheless the course had so many motivated and some very
competent students that with the excellent course material, a good educational
experience was achieved. As with any MOOC, meeting peers online can be a
varied experience so ensure to read the forum guidelines, follow the good and
useful, and ignore the occasional impoliteness. Allow enough time for reading
especially if English is a second language, preferably read the books ahead of
the course and re-read parts for the course. Great course! Thanks Professor
and team!
The course professor's enthusiasm emits from the screen making this online
course educational and entertaining. The session had significant staff forum
presence, however the quality materials stand adequately autonomous. Students
submitted fantastic work in peer reviews and forums but even novices clearly
learned, engaged and had fun. Coincidently, last evening I visited the
Graduate Institute Library in Geneva Switzerland and a box full of comic books
was on the floor. No further need for condescending attitude or embarrassment,
equipped with an academic spin on comics from this course, I sat down, read
them, and enjoyed.
