1. My expectations were simply to get an overall knowledge and/or resources for East Asian cultures. I didn't expect much because we had too little time to possibly cover everything I would like to learn. My expectations were more than met because I actually found myself a bit overwhelmed with information. I don't know if it was just because I was so tired and overworked from all the changes in LAUSD and directing my Choral performances and music program, but I couldn't stomach all of the information that was provided. However, the information that was provided was very assuring that this was a good course to take in better circumstances where I could really focus on every piece of information presented. It seemed that all of the information presented was valid in some way to understanding the culture and philosophies of each of the East Asian countries that were covered.

2. The seminar has made me more confident in my knowledge on East Asian culture and I will try to incorporate as much of what I have learned as I can to my students in their lessons.

3. The seminar had good resources and presentations that were coherent and visually stimulating. I think that the only improvement would be to add a section in which we could go on a short field trip to an east asian museum or exhibit as one of the course seminars.
