By creating a very positive atmosphere you feel much more inclined to write notes and just enjoy history, instead of becoming consumed by marks and the associated pressure.

I like the fact that we have been encouraged to pursue our own perspectives in what we learn, as it also creates a more personal experience when writing essays and it does pay off, as thinking outside the box usually provides the marker with something that is original.

The variety of lessons that you have used has allowed us all to learn the content in quite an easy and enjoyable way. For example, the class discussions, where you allow us to run the discussion with minimal input from you have been very effective.

Unlike many other classes, I have found history a great deal more interactive, with your teaching techniques making the understanding and application of our studies a lot more efficient.

Continue to teach how you teach, with fun and thought, but please maybe a little more notes to learn from also.
