2018-2019 Written student feedback

“Very good structure with group discussion first. Formative reading assignments are great. Course content and reading list are engaging and well structured. Excellent coverage of theory.”

“The class was taught very well with very broad but also in-depth conversations around the economics and structures that exist behind tech-mediated platforms. The teaching was very strong.” 

2016-2017 Written student feedback

“Format was fantastic. I loved that everyone participated and was expected to participate because I got a lot out of everyone’s comments. The lectures were always helpful in tying together and extending the readings. Readings were helpful and the range of academic and non-academic literature was smart and interesting.”

“I liked having weekly reflection papers. It helped me to understand the readings better and actually do the readings. Especially Gretta was very involved with feedback and very helpful.”

“It was good that we had to submit the reflections before class every week as it ensured that we were thinking critically. Gretta’s lectures were engaging because she made the structure more conversational, sometimes included video, and gave many opportunities to discuss rather than a traditional one-way lecture.” 

Student rating (2010-2016): 4,09/5

2012 Written student feedback by Claudia van der Velden (trainee at Microsoft)

“The past six months were marked by my master thesis for the Master Policy, Communication, and Organization. During the thesis trajectory, I’ve been supervised by Greetje Corporaal. I’d like to point out my compliments for Greetje. She’s an excellent teacher and I feel privileged to be supervised by her throughout the thesis process. I have finalized my thesis with an 8 (out of 10) and I’m extremely happy with the result. Obtaining this grade would not have been possible without the intensive, structured and good guidance. I’ve experienced Greetje as a professional teacher who in busy times knows to keep overview, ensures good planning, works extremely motivating, and above all, knows how to get the best out of everyone in the group.”
