Survey for Wisdom for North Iowa Class

​Welcome! Just before Thanksgiving, the class on Wisdom Literature ended. I had asked the class members to do a survey following the three one hour class sessions. Here are the results:
 

1. What's  your favorite book?
   1. Ruth-7
   2. Ecclesiastes-4
   3. Psalms-2
   4. Proverbs-1
   5. Esther-1
2. Which Illustration was your favorite?
   1. Jonah Children's Story-6
   2. Song of Solomon sermon
   3. When Ruth stayed with Naomi
   4. Strength of the women for these books
3. What was the most important thing you got from the course?
   1. Scholarly information
   2. Increased knowledge of scripture and how it can apply to modern day living
   3. New appreciation for wisdom literature
   4. How the books relate to modern times
   5. Each of the wisdom books has a lesson for us today
   6. The handout
   7. Knowledge by the instructor in depths of books and various interpretations
4. Length of class sessions and spacing
   1. Just right-13
   2. Too short-4
      1. Needed more sessions
      2. One more week or 1/2 hour longer in each of the 3 sessions

 
One person said the instructor did not ask very clear questions to promote discussion, and that was very helpful. I found myself agreeing with that evaluation, and I'm going to work at that.
My thanks to the class for their interest and participation. This made it a real pleasure to be part of a learning process, and I learned a lot more than I knew before.
