I liked this summer assignment a lot! This was my first time listening to a podcast, but I don't think I would do it again if I didn't have to. I didn't like that I could hear the podcast but couldn't see anything to go along with it, like a video. I liked this case a lot and it was very interesting. I am so glad that Adnan got another trial at such a convenient time, right when we were researching it! I would've liked to have been able to research about the case online to help me write about the podcasts. Other than that I really liked this assignment!

I like doing podcasts this summer! I liked that you had to use your imagination to think about what the people would look like. That also has a downside to it though, seeing the actions that were being made would have been more helpful. For example the route that Sarah and her colleague took on the Best Buy route would have been nice to see. Overall I really liked this summer assignment better than any past ones.

I liked the assignment a lot, I really enjoyed it. This was my first time listening to a podcast and it was really interesting. I liked the assignment and how it was setup but I hated that it was in the summer. It sucked up our wifi a lot so I got to hear a lot of yelling about how it was sucking up our data. Then there were times where Anna and I made it go over by a lot. We couldn't take our chromebooks anywhere because of the iboss so we just had to deal with it.

I did suggest at the end of the year that you take your phone into Mrs. LICARE and ask her to download the podcast for you using the schools wifi. That way you wouldn't eat up your data.

I really liked this assignment, it was something that my mom even started listening to. I've listened to podcasts before but most of them had a video to go along with them so this was a bit different. I really liked that I was something completely different than anything we've ever done before. I didn't like how time consuming it was, I work everyday so it was difficult to find a balance to do all of them. I loved the story and my mom found a new podcast about Adnan's case that we are going to listen to.

It is the Undisclosed podcast. She won't let me listen until after I finish my essay.

I liked this case a lot, and I'm glad that I got to listen to it while Adnan was getting a retrial. This was not the first time listening to a podcast, though I had never listened to one like Serial. I liked how we got choose what we thought about Adnan, and then we had actual facts to back up that choice. I did not like, however, how much time it took to listen to the podcasts. I would also like to have some more information on this case so that I can make my conclusions more solid.

This was my first time listening to a podcast and I must say I enjoyed the experience. I believe the only reason I actually enjoyed it though was because it was interesting. The story was not a dull and was always changing your opinion on people in the case. Although, I doubt I would listen to another one unless I was forced to. I really enjoyed answering the questions and seeing other people's responses and opinions, it was fun. I hated the fact that the episodes were so long, but there was a lot of information to cover, so it is understandable. I think this story has you changing your mind a lot, at least I did, because there was never a clear answer to who killed Hae. I think it would make a very good novel. I would love more information about the case, it may clear up who actually did it and why, everything might make more sense with the extra information provided.

I loved this summer assignment. It was way more appealing to me than reading a couple of books and writing an essay about them. I loved the story and the twists and turns it took. Law and justice have always interested me, so when we got to be detectives I was enthralled. I liked how it was podcasts and that it was something that wasn't extremely boring. No offense to teachers, but I don't take away much from reading what some would call classic novels, other than that they are completely and utterly boring. The only complaint I have about this assignment, is not being able to look up other information about the case.

This was my first time listening to a podcast and I found that I really like the format. The story was very interesting but it confuses me how they were able to send Adnan to jail with so little facts and information about what really happened the night that Hae Min Lee was murdered. I liked how at the beginning of each episode you got a little bit of a recap on what you know so far. I also liked how each podcast had a main theme and how they each introduced new pieces of information without confusing you. I didn't like that most of the episodes were over forty minutes long and the fact that I wasn't allowed to google the case or Adnan. I would definitely like more information about this case!

I loved listening to this case as a summer assignment. They are very interesting and it was hard to pace myself on listening to them. This is the first time I have ever listened to a podcast. The story was very interesting. It kept me on my toes. I liked the different people that talked as witnesses or people giving their opinion on the different I did not like how spaced out the blogs were. I wanted to get them finished quickly. I wanted to do the blogs immediately after I listened to the podcasts. This particular story is a confusing one. It makes you wonder and think about it for hours after you listen to it. I would love to have more information on this case. I want all the information I can get so I can make a more accurate decision on what I think happened.

This was my first time listening to a podcast and I loved it. I agree with Macy about how I wish there was a video to go with the audio but because the audio was so interesting it kept my attention. I liked answering all of the questions about the podcast. There was nothing in particular that I didn't like about the summer assignment. This story had a lot of parts to it so it was kind of hard keep everything straight. There was a documentary on this case and I was dying to watch it but I knew I couldn't. Now that this is over I would love to get more information about this case.

I really enjoyed this summer assignment! This was my first time ever listening to a podcast, and I don't think I would have ever listened to one if it wasn't assigned. I usually don't like listening to things because it's hard for me to stay focused, but the story was very interesting to me so it was easy for me to understand and remember what was going on.

While this was my first time listening to a podcast I did not enjoy it. I think if the episodes were shorter in length I would have found it more appealing because it is less of a time commitment. The lack of commitment is one of the things that I truly enjoy about a book or some other form of reading. One of my biggest issues with this story is the fact that I personally don't enjoy the mystery/crime genre. The story was fairly flat, mostly because of the ending, or lack thereof. I did like how we had questions that broke up the repetitiveness of the work itself. I did not like the fact that we had to constantly check the website to see if our next question was available. Maybe if we were given a list with due dates it would have been a bit more manageable for us. I would like more information pertaining to this case, but I feel like there is not any concrete evidence that would be worth looking into so it would be pointless in the end.

Max, I am slightly confused since you were given a very detailed handout with every post date in May. Yes. There were two that I posted late, but all thenothers were available days before the due dates.

This was my first time listening to a podcast, and I enjoyed it for the most part. I agree with Macy about not having something to look at. I am a visual person, so I just looked at the written script while listening to the episodes, but a video would have been better. Other than that, I did enjoy this summer assignment a lot better than reading a book. The work was given to you bits and pieces at a time, and you didn't have to do everything all at once which was nice. I did find the story really interesting to learn about. You felt like you were apart of the case almost. Although, I wish he would have been released from prison at the end. I would like to hear more information about things that they didn't say in the podcast that may be found online. Overall, I have really enjoyed the summer assignment so far and would listen to another podcast if I found an interesting one.

This was my first time listening to this podcast, but I have listened to others. I did like this podcast. I thought it was well done, and it also got me thinking all the time while watching it. The story was interesting because there is always so much more we can learn about and theorize. I liked how you were able to draw your own conclusion from it, however, the story was very frustrating at times. This case should have definitely been looked more into since there was flaws. I would like to know more about this story because it is not completed yet and I loved what I have learned so far.

This was in fact the first podcast I have listened to. When I get older I actually want to be an investigator so this particular case made me even more interested. The format of the podcast made it easy to navigate through each episode. The facts and information below each episode made it even more convenient to learn further about the case. It's perfect timing for Adnan to get another trial, so maybe we can check up on it when we are in school. Listening to this podcast was far better than having to read books.

As this was my first time listening to a podcast I both enjoyed it and disliked it because there was nothing visual to go with it you just listened. But Adnan's case to go with my first podcast did make it better because of how the case was interesting. What I liked about this assignment was that you didn't have to read a book or two over the summer and do a book report over them but instead listen to a podcast and do something different.

This was my first time listening to a podcast;I had some likes and dislikes. First as some people stated I don't like how there is nothing visual. It could have been much worse if the case was not interesting. You could really get into the podcasts listening to this case. It was never really boring, you were always wondering what's gonna happen next, which makes you keep wanting more and more.
