We were taught to take touristy photos in someone else’s vision and it felt as though we weren’t able to express our own individuality through our art. Also, I believe that being expected to meet close to our professor’s hotel each day made it difficult for many other students to get there on time. However, as far as teaching goes, I did enjoy this class and I believe I would take it again if given a chance.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

I definitely believe this trip was worth the money. This trip has caused me to view life in a new light. Other than the break in situation in Prague, I believe this trip is well set up. However, I do think it should be clear to people on the trip that coming into your room drunk and being loud with your friends at 3 in the morning every single night is so very inconsiderate to the students in the room trying to get rest before the next morning.Page 10

So amazing!Q4How would you describe your experience with your Session One course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Dr. Wadia was amazing! I loved his course and his teaching style. He was very knowledgeable and did a great job preparing us for the final. It’s clear dr. Wadia loves traveling and teaching, and his passion spread to me and the other students. I definitely think his class works best with a small amount of students. The six in our class was a perfect number in my opinion.#4#4COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Sunday, June 23, 2019 2:43:54 PMSunday, June 23, 2019 2:43:54 PMLast Modified:Last Modified: Sunday, June 23, 2019 2:58:02 PMSunday, June 23, 2019 2:58:02 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 00:14:0700:14:07IP Address:IP Address: 89.176.219.16189.176.219.161Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4Page 5

I was not a fan of all the walking, especially as it was the second half of the program and I was already tired. That was my only issue with the course howeverQ7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Excellent teachers! I especially loved dr. Weist’s lectures and Sean’s living maps. I do think that when the whole group is walking somewhere the faculty should take care not to leave people behind. There was one scary moment where one group of people was ahead with dr Mac, one was back with dr. Weist, and I was in the middle and couldn’t see either of them. I thought I lost them and was really scared because I didn’t know where I was going or even really where I was. Plus I had no data on my phone to find out. Very scary and unpleasant.

The hostels need air conditioning. Being out in the city was great. But coming back to a hot room is a horrible way to end the day. It made it hard to sleep and aggravated my allergies.

Dr. Tubre states that it fully covers the content of abnormal psychology but it truly doesn’t. It didn’t cover the content that I felt it needed to.

I didn't expect the madness course to cover leadership and social identity, and I feel like a majority of the class was focused on those two things. We only had one actual question about hysteria on the final. That threw me off a bit. We also talked about some material that didn't pertain to our class at all. Besides that, I feel like this class experience helped me grow in my comfort levels in big cities and it definitely made me confident in using public transportation.#6#6COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Sunday, June 23, 2019 2:34:47 PMSunday, June 23, 2019 2:34:47 PMLast Modified:Last Modified: Sunday, June 23, 2019 3:23:11 PMSunday, June 23, 2019 3:23:11 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 00:48:2300:48:23IP Address:IP Address: 89.176.219.16189.176.219.161Page 1Page 2Page 3

He knows what he is talking about when it comes to psychology. The day that Dr. Seefeldt was there was great! He helped us out a lot at the Queen Square Archives and that was one of my favorite moments of the class. Both professors had good attitudes for the entirety of the class. Dr. Tubré talked about the sexuality class more than I would have liked, but I did my best to focus on what I needed to know for the class.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course?

Also, I had never talked about the occupation of Czechoslovakia. I really enjoyed everything about this course. Doug and Andy did a fantastic job and really know their stuff. Also, it was really cool to have Sean come along and offer his knowledge to us. It was a lot of walking, a lot of information, but a lot of fun and I wouldn't change a thing.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Each of the professors did an outstanding job at knowing the material, connecting with the students, and making the class a lot of fun.

Catalyst 201922 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. The Catalyst was a great experience that I will never forget. Going forward, I think there should be some sort of application process for becoming a future coordinator. People sucked up to coordinators and professors and really tried to sell themselves instead of just living and enjoying the trip. Also, students were talking behind others backs about who should and shouldn't get a coordinator position for the following year. It was just very dramatic and I feel like a short application or even just a message saying they were interested would relieve some of that drama. Back to the positives though, I feel like I got to travel to five cities that I may never get to see again. I consider myself extremely lucky. It was worth every penny.

This trip has done an amazing job of helping me become a better adult, an adult who plans trips and has to take care of themselves with little assistance. It has made me more confident in my ability to handle difficult situations in places that are completely unfamiliar to me. I have shared close quarters with others before but that was definitely a learning curve for most. Honestly my only main issue with the program was that the program cost breakdown includes travel costs covered to and from class and that was not always true. The extra expense was not large but that should not be on the catalyst page and promised by program leaders if it is not provided. If plans change while abroad, just communicate that! I had a lot of help from my university paying for this trip so I cannot truly comment on how I feel about spending thousands of dollars on the program so I will simply say that if it is within a person's means with or without help, they should definitely take the plunge and travel with the catalyst for a unique study abroad experience.Page 10

I do feel like this investment was worth it, the experiences I had abroad were absolutely incredible and I can’t thank Travis enough for pushing me to take this chance and getting me out of my comfort zone.

The comparison and connection to this identity for both street art and historical classical works was fascinating to discover. This class is an amazing innovation for the program. The only change i would have made to the course would be within the placing of Paris, but even that was amazing. Each last minute change was better than the last, and I am glad we went to musée d'orsay rather than the louvre. I know this was an accident, but i think having both for next year as visited museums would be phenomenal.

He was prepared to not only teach the class but to be flexible with the variability that is required for a mobile classroom. The integration for London was seamless. I would have liked a little more connecting to art and it's impact on cultural identity specifically when talking about the lack of street art. Maybe tie in if the local art scene makes up for the gap? He camewith such a good attitude that was maintained throughout. Please bring him back!Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break had its ups and downs but wasoverall a worthwhile timeQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?The revelation of the queer environment in Berlin and the Sexual history of Terezín and Prague as a whole. Honestly i think the course was nearly flawless. The Hirschfield institute was unfortunate fairly boring to most students, but maybe with the integration of the queer Berlin tour and the information they give, that could be removed. Darren and Travis together teaching this class had to be one of,if not the best educational experience i have ever had.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Darren was always prepared with a brilliant perspective on the material and it's relevance to modern day. I would have liked a little more historical education in the city when we walked places, but everything else was wonderful and delivered with a bright but mindful demeanor. Travis is an astounding professor, human being, and piece of this program. His attitude, through all ranges of emotion that were exposed due to the harsh reality of some of Prague, created an intensely human and relatable aspect to the class that truly tied it all together. The lectures were brilliant on both weeks. And Juliana heavily enhanced the quality of the overall course with her amazing insight.This class is so important educationally. So many students don't get access to information like this, and the professors are brilliant in knowledge, application, mindfulness on the sensitivity of topics, and inclusiveness of all students.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Catalyst 201953 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I think that i found a future life path that I didn't know I wanted until this program. I had pieces, but i didn't know the full picture. It's life changing. I would like it if the program picked better breakfast options. Having bad and bread based meals for the first two weeks was difficult. There weren't vegan options until Berlin, and Prague had vegetarian options but vegan was impossible despite having a large vegan population in the city. Vegetarian was still mostly bread and cheese.but if that is my only complaint, I think we are doing well. The only other thing that was frustrating was being toke transportation to and from class would be covered, and then finding that it often wasn't. It was great in London, but difficult past that. Considering the expense of the course, it would be nice if transportation in the city was budgeted in.I think that the invested time and money is more than worth it. I found a major piece of my future and life long friends because of it. That's priceless.

Catalyst 201957 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I believe the catalyst was a terrific program that was well worth the price. I would like to see the program change by the removal of Dr. Tubre. Even not being in his classes the minimal contact I had with him were full of personal and inappropriate by him. He shared countless details of his sex life in just normal conversations and I heard it was only worse in his class. I understand these surveys are anonymous and I hope some of the countless other students I have talked to that have had problems with him will speak of it. Some fromhis university have told me they are afraid to say anything due to it possible affecting their grade since he is the department head. I do not think a professor should be included on the staff of this program when students are in fear to speak out against him due to possiblereprisal. Besides Dr. Tubre I think the catalyst is an amazing program and would recommend it to anyone.

It was a lot of walking but a great way to become familiar with the city. I also appreciated having public transportation paid for if class was far, and getting the tickets in advance. All the places we went for this class were amazing so no complaints there. One thing I disliked, however, was traveling in very big groups where some people were not conscious of the locals around them. I know in some cases it is inevitable but having friendly reminders to be aware of other people walking on the sidewalks would be neat.#18#18COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Monday, June 24, 2019 3:04:26 PMMonday, June 24, 2019 3:04:26 PMLast Modified:Last Modified: Monday, June 24, 2019 3:28:28 PMMonday, June 24, 2019 3:28:28 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 00:24:0200:24:02IP Address:IP Address: 212.20.254.98212.20.254.98Page 1Page 2Page 3

I feel like it added to the fact that we were studying abroad instead of a classroom and helped me connect more with the material and the city. In terms of attitude, Travis is always upbeat and energetic, which keeps the class moving, but he also realizes the gravity of some of our topics and relays information in a respectful manner.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?I enjoyed my week in Berlin with Dr. Bernal, it was very enlightening to see his perspective on things and made me think more of my thoughts and why I think them. I also enjoyed the week in Prague with Travis and Juliana, I really appreciated having a young female as an instructor. I very much enjoyed the topics discussed in class, but i did not realize that they would be so divided. I feel like Berlin was mostly gender, and Prague was mostly sex and I would like to see more overlap between the two. This class was a bit of a slower pace, which I am not used to, so i found myself losing focus more.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Dr. Bernal was very much a calming presence and I was very interested in his lectures and how he viewed and presented material. I liked his ability to flow with the class as things changed, and that we spent time to sit in parks for lecture. Same with Dr. Tubre, I like that before we enter a museum or see a monument we take time to sit- usually in a park - and discuss the importance of why we are there. All three professors had extensive knowledge on the class and could answer all of my questions sufficiently.Page 4Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Not only are classes jam packed with valuable and interesting information, but I am learning about cities, countries and their history, culture, identity. I am learning how to interact with people that speak other languages. I've (mostly) mastered the metro. I traveled by myself for a week, taking planes and trains and metro, booking hostels, dealing with delays or other inconveniences. I have discovered things about myself, and made countless new friends. Without a doubt in my mind this trip was worth the investment.

What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?I am not a history major, nor have I ever been good at history. Garden of the Beasts pushed my intellectual limit daily. I pushed through walls I never thought I could overcome. This class taught me a new kind of resilience. I learned a lot about the cities, however we did not see much of the city touristy wise in class.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Doug and Andy were extremely knowledgeable about the WWI & WWII history. They taught in a fashion that made the material like a story. Very intriguing and kept my attention. Andy gave great examples that I could relate to and understand the material better. Doug has a different level of enthusiasm I’ve never seen emitted from anyone. Both were positive and made class a great experience.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

I enjoyed joining other classes as well. The final project was relevant and something I wanted to do. There was a good balance of independence and support. The only bummer was not going t the Louver, which was somewhat out of our control. Artscope was my favorite out of the two classes.

Catalyst 201984 / 145Q4How would you describe your experience with your Session One course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Eoin was a great professor and taught good content. He was flexible enough, but still kept strict rules which made the class function well. I enjoyed the discussion as a class. Eoin knew what he was talking about, and if we had questions he didn't know the answer to he would look up. He was open to feedback and suggestions throughout the course.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?I was really excited to be able to to take great pictures of all the places I was going and be able to document my travel. I was a little underwhelmed at the content. Class was short and we didn't get a lot of background or history of the places we were going. The final didn't reflect what I learned during class, but what I googled afterward. I have some background in photography and felt that I didn't learn very much.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?I liked Joni, she was friendly and wanted to get to know her students. She made sure class moved at a pace everyone could participate in. However, I felt I had to edit my images to her liking, not my own. I took pictures for myself that I liked, and then I took pictures for Joni in order to receive a good grade. At times I felt we walked places without a purpose. The final frustrated me a little because I study very hard based on the study guide, however, when I went in to take the test, there were things on the test that Joni didn't tell us to study. It was very anxiety inducing because I had worked so hard studying and there was content that felt like it was there to trick me. Most of the study guide content was from what I had googled myself, little of it came from class. Overall, I really liked Joni I just wished I had gotten more of a background of the places we were going.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

I wouldn’t have wanted anyone else to teach me mindfulness because they would not have been able to do it in the way he did. In the beginning of the course I thought everyone was exaggerating how great Dr. Bernal was, but they weren’t.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?My greatest growth point in the Sexuality course was only possible because of how openly the topic was discussed because no one is ever that comfortable to discuss it with me. My greatest growth points involved the conversations that bridged mindfulness and sexuality. They really resonated with me the most and I will take more time to reflect on my sex life as a result.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Again, Dr. Bernal was a rockstar the first week. Dr. Tubré and Ms. Guitelman blew me out of the water with the contemporary knowledge and stats they had about sexuality. I really enjoyed Dr. Tubré’s and Ms. Guitelman’s perspective on this topic. I would highly recommend that they continue to teach the course together.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Overall I would say maybe have more requirements and restrictions in regards to the students selected to go on the trip, but the trip has changed my life. I would say that the money was definitely worth it, though I wish we would have more clarity about where our money is going, especially considering we were guaranteed metro tickets to and from classes and we often had to fight in order to get those.Page 10

The Catalyst was a life changing experience and taught me so much about traveling in general as well as Europe. I became close with so many people that were strangers to me before the program began and watched a group of people who hadn't met have each other's backs like a family. I think the selection of coordinators and communication between them could have been better but other than that I wouldn't have changed anything.

These were the most immersive experiences I Had in raiders and climbing the Arc de Triomphe was a super humbling experience. The only things I didn’t like was the jumping back and forth between time periods. I enjoy being taught history like it’s a story but with different artifacts and teaching points in different locations it was hard to connect everything.

I didn’t even know that they are married until Paris. Like I said in the last question the only complaint that I have about the course is they had to jump around a lot time period wise because so many of the artifacts that they wanted to teach on were in different locations. They were both super energetic and excited about what they were teaching. Both are passionate about their areas of expertise and it shows. They were patient and engaging and I appreciate that so much.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?My second class was very worthwhile and probably one of the reasons I decided to come on this trip. My highlights and greatest growth points probably happened At the more emotionally involved sites like the monument to the murdered Jews of Germany and the concentration camp. The one thing that I didn’t like about the course was the first couple days in Berlin we had very long days and then after would be kind of just handed a museum ticket and left. While I appreciate the idea, I didn’t feel like I was getting much out of the museums after such hands on experience and lecture.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?I loved this class , Both of the professors were again super passionate about the subject material and experts in their field. The only downfall to that was sometimes I feel like they would go on unplanned rants, bouncing off of one another, that we’re sort of on topic but sort of not which was super entertaining but also kind of hard to follow at times.Page 4Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

The Catalyst put me in a lot of uncomfortable situations that I would never have been and if I hadn’t of gone and I am super appreciative of this. A lot of people go their lives living in their comfort zone’s and never leave so they never truly get to take advantage of all the world has to offer. I met so many lifelong friends on this journey and tried so many new things that I never would’ve gotten a chance to try. The only non-beneficial, uncomfortable or annoying situations that I was put into were in my interactions and/or because of some of the coordinators and one of the managers. I understand that the purpose of this program is to promote independence. I am completely independent at home and I won’t ask for help unless I truly need it. But when I do have a question that needs answering or I just want to talk I think it is inappropriate for those who are on this trip to provide guidance to roll their eyes at me and or act like I am inconveniencing them. I don’t know what all their Job entails and I am sure that is not easy, but they were often times the only people that we had and I felt like many were unapproachable. Coordinator Mike and Anna we’re the only ones that I did not have a single bad experience with. That’s not to say of course that all of the interactions with the others were all bad but more often than not they were at least uncomfortable and I have heard many other students say the same. I would like to see the program evolve to have more in leadership like Anna and Mike. The investment I put into this program was completely worth it.I don’t know of any other study abroad like it and if time was reversed I would choose to do it a million times over. The good overly outweighs the bad and learning to the overcome the inconveniences of not having AC or a Walmart near by or overcoming a language barrier is humbling and important because in America we have a habit of forgetting the rest of the world exists. It is our responsibility toculture ourselves and everyone who went on this trip grabbed that opportunity by the horns.

What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?One thing I did not like was some of the students. They could be too judgmental, and rude. However, all the professors were super inclusive and wonderful. Some of my highlights was when we visited the prison camp and the tours. I learned so much from them.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?The faculty was so thoughtful. Professor Darren had a way where if you answered wrong, he wouldn't make you feel embarrassed. Professor Tubre is the most loving and sweetest teacher. You can tell he really cares about his students and knows so much about the subject. He is also good at making us feel comfortable, even after the fellow students can be a little too much.

The program had their ups and downs. I love the traveling classroom, and the information we are given and the teachers were wonderful. What I did not enjoy was some of the fellow students were to immature for tcertian classes, especially sexuality. I also really disliked the coordinators, with the exception of Seerena, Mike and Missy. The rest were rude, and treated us like we were five. Michelle was very two faced, and kept wanting to be the center of attention in class. Jade was just mean, and made life more difficult.Page 9Page 10

What if anything did youreally like or not like about this course or how it was taught?Eoin is a terrific instructor with a passion to teach about art and the world around it and it shows. The first two weeks were packed and busy but an amazing experience. I would highly recommend artscope taught by Eoin for this reason. The addition of Dr Kaylee Spencer for the Paris week was a highlight of the trip. She is extemely knowledgable and is a wealth of information of art history and art, perfect for this program. This is why students choose study abroad programs like these, for the special instructors who take time out of their summers to travel around the world with us, and they as individuals and professors will be why I recommend the Catalyst to my friends. In the future it would be amazing to see a session 2 artscope class or a specific art history class. As an art history/fine arts major, their class helped connect with places, people, and famous artworks shown on screens. To be able to see these in person and learn directly was an experience I never thought I would have, but will benefit me in the rest of my academic and professional careers.#29#29COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Sunday, June 30, 2019 3:54:55 PMSunday, June 30, 2019 3:54:55 PMLast Modified:Last Modified: Sunday, June 30, 2019 4:14:15 PMSunday, June 30, 2019 4:14:15 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 00:19:2000:19:20IP Address:IP Address: 24.118.36.19624.118.36.196Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4

Extremely knowledgeable and passionate for what they were teaching and integrating into the culture of each city.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?As a photography course, this course did not teach us about photography beyond “take a good photo” which I found offputting. The first lesson in Berlin gave us true photography knowledge and terms but beyond that, it did not focus on how to take adequate photos beyond what the instructor preferred.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Joni was not prepared for class in the way I believe she should of been. Multiple times she was unclear about where to meet, what we were doing and how she wanted to photos done. She was unprofessional towards the students, there were a few occasions where she made them cry. I would not recommend photography on the Catalyst because of her. This was a wonderful trip overall, but the last two weeks felt as though my friends and I were on our own to research what we were seeing and where to go. During preparation for the final, the final had several things on them that we had barely scraped the surface on in class, and we were told to look it up ourselves and use google to find the answers.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

It was such a pleasure to be around him, as he was always making it a point to hear what the students had to say during class discussions and one-on-one. He demonstrated an inspirational level of expertise without being condescending or patronizing whatsoever. He is level-headed, humorous, and considerate and this translated into the course content in both cities. Everything that we studied and learned about was somehow relevant to mindfulness psychology as well as the culture or history of the setting that we were visitingQ5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break had its ups and downs but wasoverall a worthwhile timeQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?Berlin was the highlight for me, and Prague was a bit of a let down in comparison. It was interesting because we had a change of instructors between the cities and had the opportunity to get a different perspective and experience from the different teaching styles, but it was also a bit of an adjustment. Sexuality and gender itself was very interesting especially in Berlin since it is especially open and accepting of LGBTQI+ individuals. In Prague I enjoyed learning about sex work and other personal topics.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Travis demonstrated a lot of expertise on the topic of sexuality and it was also nice to have Juliana’s perspective as well. They were both very considerate and made the material relevant to the city of Prague. I would say that I enjoyed Darren’s style of teaching a bit better because we would have lectures that included a lot of discussion and it just had a more relaxed feeling and flow. I also think that Darren has an impeccable level of professionalism and is a bit more private when it comes to sharing deeply personal information or bonding with students on an emotional level. He is extremely present, but there is definitely a healthy boundary. I think Travis is very passionate and open with his students on almost every level, which isn’t necessarily better or worse because I think that he is a sincere individual and it was nice to experience the contrast, but sometimes I felt like more of an audience member just listening to him talk about himselfPage 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Yes I think that this program is worth the investment, although I did see a lot of my friends who were stressed out and worrying about money throughout the trip. Overall, I am beyond grateful for this experience and the friendships that I’ve made during this adventure. Personally, I could have stayed even longer and would have enjoyed being able to drop in with other classes/mingle with more students at certain points. Maybe there could be an option to stay for different number of weeks? Like offer one or two more classes In another city for students who wish to study more or stay longer. I am so inspired by Europe and this trip has helped me grow so much.

Catalyst 2019119 / 145Q3What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session One course? What if anything did youreally like or not like about this course or how it was taught?As a non-psych major student I was nervous heading into this class because I knew very little regarding psych material. However I felt that this class and Travis did a good job of making it beneficial and easy to understand. I felt that he covered enough to teach me some basics of psych as well as teaching the psych majors in the class something new. One thing I was kind of bummed about was as the class went on we started to talk increasingly more towards sexual psychology which was interesting but I felt that it was too much of a tangent from what I originally signed up for. Initially when we were learning about PTSD and its growth of diagnosis it was interesting and what I expected, but that's where it kind of stopped. We didn't cover much beyond that, we didn't really go into how "madness" is considered today in prisons or modern beliefs.Q4How would you describe your experience with your Session One course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?I felt that Travis was extremely knowledgable and it was fascinating to listen to him teach. Like I said even though the sexual psychology topics kind of tended to drift off from the point, they were still interesting to hear about. I do feel that London was the best in regards to what I thought the class was going to be more about. I felt that in Paris we tended to primarily focus on sexual psychology, as well as leadership. Not even how leadership can manipulate people, just what it takes to be a leader, which I felt didn't necessarily apply to madness really.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?I absolutely loved this course! I was also nervous going into this class because I am a biomedical major and have not taken a history class since my junior year of high school. I didn't know if I was going to really love the course and the material like I did. History has never been my greatest subject. However, taking this class and learning about material, where it actually occurred, had a huge impact on reigniting my love for history. I never liked military history, but Andy Weist and Sean McKnight (I hope I spelt those right) had me hanging onto every word in lecture. For the first time I wasn't getting bored with military strategy, I found it to be so freaking cool! Overall this class was amazing and going to see Terezin was so impactful. Some of my most memorable moments on this program come from this class.Page 4Page 5Page 6

He had so much knowledge and made the lectures so easy to listen to. Even when we were standing in the blistering sun I found my self enthralled with his lectures. Having Weist there was also amazing. I really think that not only the places we saw made this class, but also the faculty. This class was such a treat thanks to Mackaman, Weist, and McKnight.

Catalyst 2019122 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I feel that the Catalyst will leave a lasting impact on me. This program was awesome. Even though there were communication slip ups here and there, they didn't take away from the overall experience. I am forever grateful to have been on this trip. I met so many new friends, ones who even went to my school that I had never seen before! I loved pretty much everybody on the trip, student wise. I felt that there were only three students overall that I felt were pretty disrespectful to the faculty as well as the places we were in (two fell asleep during our seminar in Tower of Terror which I found distracting and disrespectful to the guide). I feel that the only thing that really needs improvement would be the coordinators. Primarily how they're chosen, having students vote for the next trip's coordinators would be most impactful. We are the ones who see everything from behind the scenes and we have a pretty decent telling on who would actually make a good leader. For the most part manager Serena, coordinator Michelle, coordinator Mike, and manager Missy (even though she was only around for a week) were really good and helpful. Especially Serena, I always felt that I could approach her with anything when I needed help. Coordinator Jade however I felt was super rude to me and other students when faculty weren't around. She consistently made us feel like burdens when we came to her with help. Also when she was with our class for Tower she got mad at me for asking her if I could step out to go to the bathroom, but didn't even react when she saw two students falling asleep. Ijust felt very uncomfortable whenever she was around because she just was so unapproachable and mean. Other than that I do think this trip was worth every penny I spent.

What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?I really enjoyed seeing all of the places that I learned about in history classes in person and my favorite thing to see in Prague during class was the Mucha Museum. I sometimes wish that Joni knew more about some of the things she was showing to us, and that if things were going to be put on the test, that she would be sure to mention all of the information about them in class.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Joni was prepared in the sense that she had a plan for each day, and stuck to that plan pretty successfully. She had an assignment prepared for us for each day and each assignment progressed successfully from the last. However, the day she took us to the Olympic Stadium we were told to take pictures for the day's assignment and weren't told what guides she wanted our assignment to follow until after class(mind you we did ask). So if you didn't have what she wanted already in your photos just by pure luck, you had totake more.Q8How would you characterize the help you received withCatalyst questions before leaving for Europe?

It was especially awesome that Dr. Mackaman speaks french and could get us into these beautiful historic structures. One of which is actually getting remodeled into, if I remember correctly, apartments and we were some of the last people to go inside and learn there. I feel like the group was made of so many witty, sharp, and educational people it really was just a great environment to learn in.#34#34COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Monday, July 01, 2019 11:04:26 AMMonday, July 01, 2019 11:04:26 AMLast Modified:Last Modified: Monday, July 01, 2019 12:21:51 PMMonday, July 01, 2019 12:21:51 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 01:17:2501:17:25IP Address:IP Address: 107.77.236.101107.77.236.101Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4

Dr. Mackaman is one of the most inspirational and knowledgeable professors I met on this program. When we moved on to Paris from London it was like the two cities were never more than a ten minutes walk from each other by the way Dr. Mackaman talked about them. Even though the Blitz happened in multiple countries the material was tied together so elegantly that as a student we were brought to think of them as a whole. The events we learned about here even stretched into our second course. One event in London forever tying itself to an event that happened in Prague. A sequence of events I never would’ve seen if it hadn’t been for Dr. Mackaman.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?one of the best things about session two was the Topography of Terror. The lesson at the museum taught us all about nazism and the guest speakers had us thinking from every angle. They don’t have a conclusion to their museum because they want you to come to a conclusion on your own. Which some people didn’t like but I loved. It gave all of us the opportunity to absorb the information and decide for ourselves how we really viewed it all.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?I’ve already stated the greatness of Dr. Mackaman. He’s wonderful. Our other faculty who was with us for a majority was Mr. Weist andShawn. These two are incredibly funny and talented teachers. They bounce off each other with information flawlessly. All three of these men have my highest respects.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Catalyst 2019129 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I think the overall impact of the Catalyst was incredible. I met people who I know would’ve taken me years to meet otherwise because I don’t think I would’ve traveled to Wisconsin anytime soon haha. It was an experience of a life time. It made me a more flexible traveler, a thousand times more patient and adaptable human in social settings, and it taught me to be open to everyone’s ideas not just ones that are like my own. I definitely agree 100% that the investment in time and money spent here will have been worth it. I think it already is. I think the only changes I would suggest for future improvement is a smaller group. This may sound harsh and by nomeans do I want people to miss the opportunity to study abroad but I think a smaller group and maybe an essay submission on why that person wants to study with the catalyst would weed out all the people who chose this as a way to party in different countries. There are some people on this trip who did just that. They weren’t worried about their classes and one even claimed her hangover as a migraine to get out of class after she partied too hard the night before. Which I think is unfair to the people who wanted this as a way to finish classes and also get that well rounded cultural experience and took things seriously. There is nothing wrong with having a drink here or there and being a mature adult about it but there were a handful of students who couldn’t do that. Another change I would make would be not so many coordinators. Sereena was the only one who was there for us at all hours or who come running even when she wasn’t the emergency contact. She’s the only one who always had a smile on her face and genuinely offered a helping hand. I know she was a manager but the other managers and coordinators didn’t do that. I can’t even type a realistic number for how many times I saw Jade roll her eyes at students when asking her a question or even joking with her. And I understand that leadership comes with stress and frustration but as a leader I don’t think you should wear that frustration outwardly when the people you’re leading need your help. And Michelle is a sweet individual but her saying “I’m here for you because that’s what a coordinator is and what they do” speech made it seem like she only offered because she had to not because she really wanted to. It just wasn’t genuine. Besides thosetwo things I wouldn’t change anything about the catalyst.Page 10

I wish there wasn't an overload of homework in Paris than there was in London.

When Kaylee joined our class it was just more information that we could take in, she knows so much already. Eoin and Kaylee were also super understanding of my seizure condition and worked with me to make sure I didn't die(so that's good), the only day that was bad was in Paris and that's because I didn't prepare properly for the Louvre not letting us in and then running 2 miles yo the next location in the sun. 10/10 great class and hope they have an Art Scope for Berlin/Prague because it would've been amazing to have experienced the cities through that class.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?Highlights were the Mucha Museum. The gallery was laid out beautifully, even if it was small. My biggest issue was the lack of knowledge for the loctions we went to. I feel we talked about the spaces, but we never really learned about them. So come test time, I felt I was googling a lot of facts for the places i had been. Plus some information passed along was incorrect. I would rather a professor say "hey, let me get back to you on that" than give me a false answer.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?I will commend Joni on teaching us about shutter speed and aperture. I have previously taken a photography class and I just could wrap my head around it, but Joni explained it very well. However, I will say that she wasn't always open to different art styles. I get we're multiple exposures, but artists have creative liberties that I feel were taken away because it didn't fit her aesthetic. For example, it was about saying an image was bad because there was no color in it or some arbitrary visual thing. Concept can be just as importantto an art piece as is the visuals indicators where the photo was taken. Just because there's no visual clues to where an image was taken, doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't belong in a series or that it's a bad image.Page 5Page 6Page 7Page 8

Catalyst 2019133 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I enjoyed my time on the catalyst, but I also had some really rough times. I know I'm a strong person and I'll push myself to lengths that I probably shouldn't sometimes, but the catalyst really challenged that. I had a great time the first half, but the second half was pretty rough, especially with heat triggered epilepsy. I never expected there to be the hottest heat wave is Europe's history to be happening when I was there, most of Europe didn't know it was even going to be that hot! Then having my coordinator, Jade, telling me maybe I should go home (a week before I was supposed to), and that I really didn't think this program through really got to me. I cried for three straight days in Prague because not only were students saying awful things about me, now the Catalyst staff thought I was such a huge problem that I should've never went on the program. I live with the condition, I know the hindrance it can cause and I try my damn best to not let it ruin others time, I thought this program through. Luckily for me I had some amazing friends on this trip who made sure I enjoyed the rest of my time in Europe.For future Catalyst programs I HIGHLY recommend that for students with invisible disabilities(ones you can't clearly see) note in the meetings leading up to leaving for Europe that if they feel comfortable to let their professors and coordinators know if there's somethingthat might be an issue. Eoin knew me from before, and I filled out the paperwork on study abroad site at UWRF. I assumed all the people knew, but Dr. Wooley later told me it never goes past Doug due to HIPAA. Which is fine, but I didn't know that and it would havebeen good to know that the coordinators didn't know about my seizures right away. In the end I went back to Europe, saw some amazing places and art, and made many new friends so it was worth the money in the end. These memories will last with me for a life time, and I don't regret going on this trip.

Catalyst 2019135 / 145Q3What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session One course? What if anything did youreally like or not like about this course or how it was taught?The highlights of the mindfulness course for me are as follows. I was better able to understand the importance of the present moment and how being grounded in it provides us with a better mental state. I was able to understand through this course that my thoughts are just a float in a parade and that I don't have to go down a rabbit hole and engage them. One of the most profound conclusions I came to due in large part to this course was that I need to move past the 'if I do this then I'll be happy' mentality. One of my biggest insecurities is wondering if people care about me and I realized that even thinking about this was a form of that mentality. There was no quantifiable number of people I could say that if they cared for me then I'd be happy so I'm now able to move on from that thought. It's also worth noting that the mediation exercises were also amazing and helped me relax both my body and mind. One thing that I think would improve the course is to have the reading more structured into the class. For example having chapter 10 read by this day would give you a better background on the topic of the day versus having 2 books read when it's less apparent what information is important.Q4How would you describe your experience with your Session One course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Dr. Bernal was always prepared to teach and did so with deep knowledge of the material he was presenting. Even when we were at other places like the buddist monastery he would offer insight on the topics at hand. He showed great flexibility able to deal with the Louvre being on strike the day we were supposed to meet. He also overall had a very mindful and respectful attitude with the class andwas easily approachable for questions and conversation.Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break had its ups and downs but wasoverall a worthwhile timePage 4Page 5Page 6
Catalyst 2019136 / 145Q6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?The highlight of Garden of Beasts for me was LARPing major WWII battles. That activity was the essence of the class. Approaching a grim and horrific reality in a way that students can digest and learn from. That's not to say that the course shyed away from the heavy hitting stuff but that it was a healthy mix. This course has also equipped me to see today's society through a different lens and to be active in stopping the rise of ideologies that eeriely mirror the Nazis. The one thing I would do to improve this course is perhaps not do the topography of terror tour. Whether or not it was my own tiredness or expectations of something different the experience didn't inspire me like I thought it would. Also as the program grows and class sizes get bigger I feel like it might be a good idea on longer days to section off the class in two if possible and take smaller breaks.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?Throughout my life some of my best professors have been in my history courses and this class was certainly no exception to that trend. The amount of passion combined with expert level knowledge made the two week course one of the most valuable learning experiences I have ever had. The way the professors played off of each other's points and covered each other made even lectures after 5-7 hours of walking extremely interesting and informative. Professors were also very friendly and approachable. I have nothing but positive things to say about the professors of this course.Q8How would you characterize the help you received withCatalyst questions before leaving for Europe?

Catalyst 2019138 / 145Q10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I wanted to wait a little while before completing this survey to try and digest a little what the Catalyst meant to me. I wanted to make sure that the feelings I had while flying back home were genuine and not just a high I was riding. After spending some time adjusting to a normal life again I can definitively say the Catalyst is a positive life altering experience that I will cherish till the end of my days. I was able to prove to myself how much I have grown as a person to be able to do this. Just as importantly though I was able to realize that I have much I need to improve on as well. The people I have met on this program are some of the most wonderful and inspirational people I have ever met and I hope to remain lifelong friends with them. As far as ways to improve and grow the program the one minor thing I would suggest is a little bit more open dialogue in the coordination process. It would have been nice to know when and where finals were going to be a bit earlier especially for the week leading up to acceleration. If it's within the budget I think a genius advertising technique would be to use a bit of VR to give potential students just a taste of all the amazing sites they would be seeing. As far as the investment of time and money goes it was a tiny price to pay for what I got out of this program. When Dr. Mackaman came to our campus I truly thought he was up selling the program by calling it a life changing experience but I am happily wrong in that regard. I have absolutely zero regrets doing the program.

It was very interesting to get to hear more about the history ofthe places we were, since you can only learn so much about a country when you go to school in a different country.Q4How would you describe your experience with your Session One course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?The professors seemed very knowledgeable about what they were teaching and if they did not know something they would look into it and tell us. They seemed like they wanted to learn more with us, and that they wanted to get us involved with our surroundings. They loved the cities we were in and seemed to know them well. I really enjoyed how Eoin always took different paths so we could see different parts of the city.#38#38COMPLETECOMPLETECollector:Collector: Mobile Link Mobile Link (Web Link)(Web Link)Started:Started: Saturday, July 06, 2019 11:51:09 AMSaturday, July 06, 2019 11:51:09 AMLast Modified:Last Modified: Saturday, July 06, 2019 2:27:29 PMSaturday, July 06, 2019 2:27:29 PMTime Spent:Time Spent: 02:36:2002:36:20IP Address:IP Address: 174.206.59.132174.206.59.132Page 1Page 2Page 3Page 4
Catalyst 2019144 / 145Q5How would you characterize your Accelerationexperience?Traveling for break was a huge time of growth andexploration that I’ll likely remember foreverQ6What were the highlights and/or greatest growth points for you in your Session Two course? What if anything did youespecially like or not like about this course or how it was taught?It was cool to get to see places and hear about them, but personally I would like to hear information from my professor and not a tour guide. I would like to have taken different walking paths in the cities. Mostly because we were a photography class and we just kept taking pictures of the same things. I wish she had a work shop type class one time if only for 30 minutes to an hour to show us how to use the editing tools better and how she wanted things fo be done. I feel like she was kind of biased as to how we were to do the photos. Some people had very good artistic elements and she did not like them and told the people they had to be a certain way. I know she is the teacher and it her way or nothing but it still felt like she wanted everyone stuff very similar.Q7How would you describe your experience with your Session Two course faculty: their level of preparation to teach, theirknowledge of the course material, their ability to integrate material within the two cities, their attitude toward students andtheir overall comportment and attitude?It seemed as though she was prepared for our tours and had tickets if we needed them but I feel like the places we went were very touristy. I wish we could have seen more of the cities in class.Q8How would you characterize the help you received withCatalyst questions before leaving for Europe?

Catalyst 2019145 / 145Q9How available to help you abroad were our staffmembers? Please answer all the points below that relateto your experience with The CatalystManager Sereena was consistently available when Ineeded help or was easy to find via Crew or textmessage,Coordinator Mike was consistently available when Ineeded help or was easy to find via Crew or textmessage,If I got sick or needed medical help, I knew could gethelp at any time from the program in our classroomcities up to and including assistance in getting to adoctor or even a hospital,I felt like Crew was an asset in terms of being able toreach out to the program if I needed anythingQ10Please say in a few sentences how you feel you will remember this program and what it did for you as a college studentmeeting the world. I loved the program and being able to meet so many great people. It was an amazing experience and worth it. I wish the professors could have been house in the same place as us so if needed we could contact them more readily and feel like they are more readily available. I did like the hostels we were in but there were times I wished we could have had better ones. There were times where the communication between professor and coordinator and coordinator to students and vice versa was just not there and that was frustrating for everyone. I am glad we got to go to Normandy on Memorial day but I feel like it could have been done differently. It was a very long day of traveling for a very short amount of time to really take in where we were.Page 9Page 10
