Most participants received tutorial comments on their term papers appropriately and found them very helpful. However, some participants noted that more detailed comments would have increased their learning experience as whole. All the participants appreciated the co-operative and helpful attitude of all tutors and resource persons. 

Field Visit 

The participants watched a film on river erosion on the way to Malda but, due to some technical problems, the subtitles sometimes were missing. Nevertheless, thanks to the briefing provided by Samir Kumar Das and the local guides, they felt that they did receive enough information prior to the field visit. 
Participants also felt that the trip was relevant to the course, and served as an eye-opener. It was realised, how little women have voice in discussions over their own lives and how landlessness links together with deprivation of basic needs such as health care and education. 
The shortness of the field visit was criticised by a majority of participants, however. The bus journey to Malda and back took altogether 22 hours. However they argued that it provided an opportunity of meeting the people who remain outside media glare. Many of them expressed their will of visiting them in future. It was suggested that, in the future, the trip be planned somewhere nearer to Calcutta so that more time can be spent on the field. 

Participatory Sessions and Classroom Arrangement

A majority of participants rated the participatory session as good or excellent, with only four finding them satisfactory. It 

was felt that the participatory sessions were very important for the overall understanding of topics and that the faculty members were encouraging in terms of discussion.
It was pointed out, however, that the level of participation depended on the style of the speaker, with some lecturers inviting more interaction than others. In roundtables, there were at times too many speakers so that very little time was given each speaker. This was a shame, especially on a session, where panel included some refugee voices, too. All in all, participants could be involved in the roundtables more than was done this year.
The classroom arrangement got a good rating from all participants, although the sitting arrangement was found hierarchical by some. It was pointed out that, in order to increase interaction, resource persons and participants should be seated together and preferably in a circular arrangement. Also some ice-breakers and small group activities other than discussions and presentations could be blended in the programme in order to break the monotony.

Film Sessions 

The rating of the films shown during film session was divided, with half of the participants finding them good and relevant to the course and half rating them as less interesting or non-relevant. The film clips did, however, enhance many participants understanding of the partition and different faces of suffering caused by displacement. It was recommended that a handout be given prior to the film session, so that all participants are able to follow the presentation of films and their directors. It was also recommended that longer extracts are shown from each film presented, with perhaps a little less speech in between.
