I was invited to use OST as a wrap up for a graduate course in Appreciative
Inquiry; about 20 students. In 2.5 hours there were many good conversations
(we had two 45 minute session times) - people had a chance to wrap up loose
threads of inquiry, and/or discuss the future - and the 30 minute closing
circle was a wonderful closing for the whole course.

I was not the instructor for the course, so it was easy for me to hold the
space. If you have no "givens" or desired outcomes except coming to
closure, I guess it will be easy for you as instructor to hold the space
open... this is worth the time you take to think it through.
