I finished the course and completed the survey, but found it difficult to say what I wanted to say when faced with their optional replies.  On one of the very few chances to give my own view I did manage to mention some of our reservations, but still felt it quite restricting.

Wonder what the exciting thing was that was going to happen to the "replies" page? ???

I really dislike surveys where you are given four options and none of them say what you wish. 

I did complete this one but felt hamstrung by the options!

 :-\ Perhaps it was just that they gave coloured initials for those without profiles.

I skipped past the survey, quite late with the steps week 6 and just finished yesterday, plus the Shakespeare one I signed up with started last week also and have barely started that and week 2 has started. I did flick through as much of the survey as possible, just to get idea of questions and options, until I got to a compulsory field but took easy option in end and ignored it  :)

Just had an email from Tahitia saying what a wonderful course it had been, how much had been learned, how great (and positive) all the comments and discussions had been and how well the 'what's in a name' story had been received.  ;D

I got the E mail as well. It does make you wonder if we are on a different planet to everyone else  connected with the course. ??? ???

No email yet, perhaps they send them out in bunches rather than all at once.
