Wrap-up first
Thanks for a great semester! This is the first semester this course has been required and it will continue to evolve. I've got quite a few changes and improvements in mind, including a stronger focus on Python and web frameworks like Flask and Django and more hands on with Pygame earlier in the semester so students are better equipped for the final project. The course will meet once a week, giving us more time together, and I'm working on a volunteer TA. Your feedback, through our [feedback form], the SILS course evaluation, and the University's course evaluation will be instrumental in helping me revise the course for next semester and beyond.
