It was extremely helpful to gain an in-person sense of which philosophical arguments participants found most pressing and forceful. [...] I feel like I did a semester-long seminar on laws in the span of a few days. Very enriching.

Students are being impressively proactive in engaging with the professors and asking questions of each other and to the faculty. Maybe the best way I can illustrate how much I think they'll benefit from that is to say I'm learning from these conversations enormously.

I love it a lot, it’s very interdisciplinary. People from very different perspectives talking about the same issue and that results in very interesting discussions and are very very rich.

It's been a fantastic time at the Summer University. The most important thing at the University has been the opportunities to interact both with a wide variety of experts in the field, but also a large group of really excited students who ask a lot of great questions and are gonna push the field to where it is gonna go in the next generation.

The best authors in the field were the instructors. The reading material was superb. The other students were brilliant. (Witchcraft Across Classical, Medieval, and Early-Modern Cultures in Europe)

The choice of topics and their presentation were really well done. The course has improved my orientation when it comes to quality concerns in higher education. Following the course, I feel that I have a more qualified and »peer-checked« perspective on quality-related matters at my own work and that I can thus contribute to any such discussions more confidently.

I would recommend this course to a colleague for several reasons: 1) the course director and other coordinators were hospitable and encouraging, 2) the readings and lectures were informative and engaging, 3) and the social interaction with other students, despite being online, was enriching.

Strong team leadership and cooperation, a great group of students that were actively participating and engaged, a convivial yet academically rigorous atmosphere, great balance between group and one-on-one advice and attention from staff, a wonderful variety of highly educated and experienced ethnomusicologists leading lectures.
