Some of the comments students have left on our course surveys:

“The Most amazing class I have taken thus far at UT- I am in love with the ACTLab”

“I love this class.”

“I feel this ACTLab has been a HUGE value to me.  I was impressed by the hard work and dedication given to the students by Sandy.”

“Online Documentation is priceless…  Reading on the website, I love it…  Instructions, syllabus, etc, for when I lose my originals.  It would be great if there was a newsletter by the week, month, project whatever.  Stay in touch online!”

“Thanks for Everything”

“Sandy’s classes are always fascinating.  I had to take another before I graduated.  She is on of the most knowledgeable people I know and the structure of the class is idea for real life projects, whether for work or personal. Thanks!”

“I feel inspired by whatever Sandy covers in class each day.  I only wish the class schedule was organized a tad more rigidly so I can go back and overlook notes more effectively.”

“Great class, for the first time I felt like I had true creative freedom, and an opportunity to safely (grade wise) push the limits.  Thanks.”

“Sweetly!”

“Sandy, as always I love your class.  It inspires me to learn new things and push my, and others boundaries.  Joe-  you rock! Keep up the good TA’ing.”

“Sandy, I’ve always loved your classes.  They inspire me to think about things I don’t usually do on weekdays.  Thanks.”

“Sandy is an amazing professor who is doing amazing things in the field of New Media.  I’m proud to have taken a class wit her.  And the University should be proud to have her.”

“Course could be structured a little more tightly.  It all felt ambiguous.  Just go out and make a project.  Okay great what project?  It was hard to get used to a lack of structure, but in the end I fully embraced it.  It made the course unique.”

“Thanks!  The instructor & TA were extremely helpful.  Stone is Inspiring!”

“I love this class, I love how you set it up and the methods you use.  My one problem is the familyish feel.  The former students dominate, making it hard for some to feel completely acccepted.”
