Students enjoyed the fascinating topics which were well presented by a great lecturer. The worst aspects of the course included the time consuming and difficult homework assignments that were not returned to students in a timely manner. Also, many found the number of pop quizzes to be excessive. The course would be improved if more assignments and focused study guides were provided to help students understand the content better. It would also improve if the students received prompt feedback on their work. Prospective students should know that it is a very interesting course with a light workload. They are encouraged to attend class regularly, take good notes, and stay on top of the readings.
