When we conducted our SOA we agreed to incorporate feedback to assist as part of the evaluation process.
Below is a list of possible questions, however if you feel something is missing please feel free to add on. This is a continuous process and we would greatly appreciate if you can answer at least ONE of the following questions on the class blog for every group that presents following their presentations.

The visible symbols of what many LGBTIQ people hear and see almost every day was jarring. It reminded me of the pro-Prop 8 rallies. Having a brother who is gay (and a drag queen to boot) has made me very protective and an advocate; I learned to be his voice even before I knew what "gay" or a "drag queen" meant. So I am obviously very passionate about the topic.
One small criticism: it would have been interesting to know the underlying reasons for the open hatred, especially toward gay men, generally perpetrated by straight men. Is it, as Louie suggested, a fear of being labeled "gay" (ie. not masculine, etc) themselves if they show support? That side of the issue would have been interesting to dissect because they are the people hiding behind signs like the cowards they are.
Sorry for the length; it's an issue I've dealt with since my brother was about 3 or 4 years old.
I definitely agree with you Nancy and I think what was missing was probably more talk about gender because I feel sex and gender connect and interject in so many ways but we did want to make the distinction between sexuality and gender. As a facilitator I would have wanted more dialogue and left thinking why there wasn't as much as usual
For the most part, I thought that this group did a pretty decent job. Starting off with the definitions was a great way to make us aware of the nuances of "similar" words, which I feel is something that we need to know in order to be aware of the impact our word choices make. Personally, the best part was placing us in a "hostile classroom", as it really hammered in why and how students and teachers are driven to repression, silence, or openness. Echoing what Liz said, I feel that one of the drawbacks was the fact that we really didn't get to touch on the link between sexuality and gender.
I felt this was a very powerful lesson. I noticed in the first activity that many of the words we use a derogatory terms towards people who are LGBTIQ were first invented with a positive meaning. The simulation was very effective to the point where I felt it was personal. The lesson was very well organized and very thought provoking.
helllllllaaaa intense. i really wanted to bar and cry when the posters were up in class, but that just made the reality that many lgbt people go through even more relatable and real. seriously, great job!
I agree with Afshan. The visuals were intense and made me think about the different types of aggression that our LGBTQ communities have to go through...even in institutions of higher education where you don't expect to see this type of behavior
I found the survey really interesting. At the beginning, I was trying really hard to answer it, but toward the end, I found it really complicated to answer. It just let me think about what it would be like to be asked such questions.
I also like how the group put in effort to setup the classroom at the very beginning. Very creative.
