Student Survey

I recently decided to hand out a survey to the students on the First Team who will be working on the video editing project, I thought it would be good to give them an opportunity to see what I was planning to teach them, and let me know if there were any topics of particular interest.
The surveys were helpful, but not in the way I expected. They helped me realize that many of the students in the program don't want that kind of opportunity. They want to come to the workshops and rely on me to decide what they should learn. It was an interesting reminder that although it can be an opportunity to actively influence what you learn as a student, it's also an additional responsibility, and a task some don't want.
