Student Comments for MS215: Care of Archaeological Artifacts:
I would rate my experience a 10.

Three things I really liked about the course were the reading selections, the availability and willingness of the instructor to answer questions and provide additional information, and the access it gave me to sources that I wasn't aware of for information.

What I liked best about the materials provided was that the class lectures gave a good general overview of the topic before we began doing the more specific and complex readings- that really helped me to put all of the individual reading assignments into context.

This course definitely met my expectations- I'm very happy with it. Diana Komejan was a wonderful instructor and very helpful. I would recommend her class to anyone. I heard about the course through my manager, who took several of them.

The volume of the materials is what I liked best. The information we received is valuable in terms of not just what we were quizzed over for the short term, but in being resources that will be kept on our own office shelves for future reference. I found the PowerPoints useful as they contained examples utilizing photographs. The diagrams illustrating packing techniques were useful as well.

The site was well-scripted and easy to use.

I had been told that classes at the NSCC were good and required lots of reading. It lived up to it's reputation.
