Reviewer Notes

You are not only the first people to see this curriculum. You are the first people to critique it. That second job is the one we most need from you today.

This is a first cut of the film, not a finished product. Nothing here is too precious to change. If five of you flag the same ninety seconds, we will re-edit it.

How to use this

Mark what stands out

Tap KEEP, CUT or ??? beside any moment. Most rows will stay blank - that's fine. KEEP = this landed. CUT = too long or it lost me. ??? = confusing, jarring, or left me with a question.

We're asking whether the teaching is CLEAR, not whether you AGREE with it. If a section made sense but you disagreed, that's a win - mark it KEEP and argue with us at lunch. There's a box at the end for your views on AI itself.

Both episodes

The format - how it was made

1 = not at all . 5 = completely

The pacing held my attention.
The balance of teaching, experts, and roundtable felt right.
Thirty minutes was the right length.
It looked and sounded professional.
The on-screen text and graphics helped rather than distracted.
I could follow who was speaking and why they were there.
One thing you’d change about the FORMAT
Both episodes

The content - what was taught

1 = not at all . 5 = completely

I could explain the main idea to someone else afterward.
The theology was substantive, not thin.
It assumed the right amount of prior knowledge.
It felt relevant to my actual ministry context.
It gave me something I could use, not only think about.
It felt like it was leading somewhere, not just covering topics.
One thing you’d change about the CONTENT
Last section

Be blunt

This is the most useful part. Politeness costs us more than criticism does.

What would you cut entirely?
What is missing that a pastor would need?
Who in your world would this NOT work for, and why?
Would you put this in front of your staff or elders? What would stop you?
Anything about AI itself (separate from the film)
