What was it like to meet, in person, out of class?

For those of you who have met in person for your discussion, what was that experience like? (Where did you meet? How did conversation go? etc.) How was it similar or different from meeting in class? What seemed to be gained or lost? How might this experience impact how you think about your own future teaching?

Meeting in person was very helpful. We were able to go at our own pace and structure the conversation to point out what we found was very important. We were given the opportunity to discuss the issues in the book, as well as what people wrote for their QTT papers. The only downfall to this was that I wasn't able to hear other people's comments on what they thought about the book. I like being able to hear other's responses to see how they fit my views on the books or if I may not have looked at it the way they did. Overall, it was a good experience and would prefer to meet in person, rather than online.
