What worked well in this class? What did not work?

The idea of talking about relevant topics motivated students to be attentive and talkative. They discussed the ideas, the activities and possibilities on campus. The diary game was interesting to watch, because this is a very creative class, so they enjoyed writing and discussing the entries. And the entries also triggered discussion, because the students have different points of view on students’ life. 

How could this class be improved/ modified?
