Hilton College Boys Comment

"I think today was brilliant, I really enjoyed it. I learnt amazing new ways to think in a manner which I love to think in. My only suggestion is to make the course longer so that we can do it some more and more effectively."

"I absolutely loved the workshop. I found it really worthwhile and highly educational. I enjoyed the 'vibe' in terms of the setting; how each individual was not only welcome but also encouraged to put in his/her '2 cents'. I think that we all are grateful for the workshop and we enjoyed our day. I would love to attend another one if possible... Thanks lots Carin...!!"

"It is not often that I get to think in an abstract manner. Today I found it enjoyable yet challenging and would like to do it again. Suggestions?: A THREE DAY COURSE! I think that what I have learnt is interesting and useful, but I would like to dig deeper. I think that I have just scratched the surface. I would like a workshop on institutions; religious, educational and political."

"I think today was very productive for me. I know that some of the techniques for gathering premises and conclusions out of the text will definitely help me in the future with my extended research essay and other assignments in the future. Thank you."

"The workshop was very productive in terms of analysing texts. It worked very well in small groups as this encouraged contribution from everybody. I enjoyed the layed back approach as it was easy to learn and more fun. Very constructive and enjoyable. Thank you."

"I really enjoyed the workshop and I think I learnt a lot from it since the beginning. My perspective of a lot of things has changed as well and I have a much better 'grounding' to work with. However, for school children I believe there should possibly be a bit more involvement as they can get distracted easily. I am truly grateful and inspired."

"I think the course was excellent. It helped me understand the smaller aspects of an argument like validity and truth. I now know how to effectively and critically analyse a passage and can use it throughout school."

"I really enjoyed the course. It was fun and engaging. I learnt lots of new valuable skills that I will be able to use in the future. The food breaks were a good addition to the course as we were never forced to concentrate for too long. I had a great time. Thanks."

"The workshop was very worthwhile and fun and was interactive. I learnt alot about constructing valid arguments and identifying what to look for when breaking down an argument or deciding whether to believe a conclusion or not. I really enjoyed the experience as a whole I hope that I will be able to use the skills I learnt today in constructing more essays and good arguments. It was a good workshop as well as a learning opportunity."

"I think the lessons on critical reasoning were very insightful and I believed that I benefited a lot from what I did in the lesson. Although the lesson was interesting it could get a bit boring at times and more breaks were needed in between. Thanx."

"I felt that this day and analysis were very helpful to me in terms of helping to analyse material & reviews in an easier and more interesting way. It was much better than school and overall it was very relaxing and you gave us lots of opportunities to express our views. I feel that a workshop on politics wil be very interesting as well."
