1. Sometimes the microphone was malfunctioning.
2. Frequently the lecturer had problems with the microphone but she did a good job of projecting
and getting problems fixed.
3. Very responsive to all students.
4. While I like the room very much, it is harder to hear at the back, and the audio equipment is not
particularly good.

Please tell us what you were most satisfied with in this lecture series.
# Response
1. Quality of the lecturer and her knowledge of the subject matter and beyond.
2. Learned a lot about the Bloomsbury Group.
3. The lecturer took into account everyone's comments and participants felt free to discuss with
 humour and to share their own knowledge. A pleasure to be there!
4. Scholarly material, presented in a very accessible manner.
5. The material covered was well presented, and organized. Appreciated the website and easy
access to material. The interaction of the class was extraordinary, and the cohesiveness of the
group was a unique and most satisfying.
6. Knowledge of the lecturer.
7. Got me to read books like A Room of One's Own which I had previously started and not finished.
Marieke gave me a totally new approach to reading it. Great class.
8. The amount of reading was just right. The choice of materials was very interesting. Excellent
discussions.
9. I enjoyed the multidisciplinary approach. Having deliberately avoided studying English at
university, I enjoyed the literature discussions very much. It's interesting to pick up aspects of a
work that totally went over my head.
10. Her enthusiasm and willingness to engage with participants. Knew her 'stuff' and how to present
it.
11. The refreshing of my tired old brain.
12. The lecturer, while rather young, demonstrated considerable skill at leading and facilitating
discussion, and she has a very nice way of picking up and summarizing points made by others in
an enthusiastic way.
13. Dr. Kalkhove was very well prepared each class and her knowledge of and enthusiasm for her
subject matter was impressive. She made each class both interesting and enjoyable.
14. I really liked her website where we could get the class notes, multimedia and contact info.

Please tell us what you were least satisfied with in this lecture series.
# Response
1. Nothing.
2. It ended to soon.
3. At the first lecture, perhaps very opinionated participants could have been discouraged
somewhat. But it all worked out so well.
4. Occasional slides presented in typefaces not well enough contrasted with background.
5. That it ended!!!
6. Nothing.
7. First few classes one man kept shouting out comments while others raised their hands to speak.
I would have liked the lecturer to have managed that situation quicker but one student spoke
up and then the lecturer eventually got the message to him a bit.
8. The speaking style of the prof was a bit colloquial. The use of the word right? after many points
is not necessary.
9. Nothing.
10. Nada.
11. Nothing in particular, although I would have liked it to be twice as long!
12. I would have liked to have discussed more of the women's liberation issues of that time.

If you wish, please provide any additional comments below.

1. Lecturer was excellent, a very good lecturer, material was well organized and well presented.
2. A thoroughly enjoyable learning experience for the whole class.
3. Lots of fun!
4. I will be checking to see what lecture series will be given by Dr. Kalkhove, and I would definitely
take another lecture series.
5. The members of this class were amazing, and I wondered what each did as a career before
retirement. With the lecturers permission, I passed around as sheet and everyone entered their
career. I typed up the list and handed it out the next week. Everyone was delighted that I took
the initiative. Is there any way that the LinR staff could collect this information upon registration
(voluntary, of course) and have a list of careers, without names, available for one of the early
classes? Everyone in this class thought that would be a great idea.
6. Great mix of material, wonderful link to the stories and videos. Excellent class. Very
knowledgeable lecturer.
7. The class was the best one I have taken in 10 years.
8. Marieke Kalkove engaged charmingly and sincerely with every questioner or commenter
throughout the lecture series. I look forward to the next lecture series she offers.
9. All the lecturers for these series should be reminded of how important it is to capitalize on the
experience and knowledge among the enroled retirees. Dr. Kalkhove did this very well.
10. Great lecture series and lecturer!
