In a paragraph, describe how (or if) your knowledge of and/or interest in the subject of your theme and/or methods for communicating this material transformed throughout the course (the entire course: pre-residency and on-campus portions).  If your knowledge or interest in the subject didn't not change at all, please state this as well.  We are looking for candid responses, and we would like you to be entirely open about what would have affected or enhanced your learning and interest.  Essentially, any accurate information on how this interdisciplinary experiment went and what sort of things might have affected it would be useful.
