Course feedback from past students:
Working with a group of friends to organise a foreign holiday was great. I loved it and would really like to now make that holiday happen.
Teaching my friends the moves in a French country dance was such fun. We played games to teach each other the moves then did the dance. At the end of the activity all of the group did the dance.
I worked with my friends on a reading exercise where they had to understand and draw a person. By the time I had done the activity 4 times, I think I was good at it.
