I definitely learned a lot from this course. I knew that NYC was facing a housing crisis, but I really didn’t know the extent of it or what policies could help. I also learned a lot from creating my own presentation. I noticed the change happening in my neighborhood but now I understand it much better.
One thing that I learned from other students’ presentations at the Macaulay building was about credit scores and social media. Apparently you can receive your credit score by allowing a company to look at both your facebook page and your friends. It is very bizarre that you can monetize friendship.
One improvement for the course would be to spend more time on doing interviews. I really enjoyed speaking to actual business owners and learning from their point of view.
Thanks for a great semester!!
