The best aspects of this course included the intriguing subject material, homework assignments that were not time-consuming, and the lessons on formulating proofs. One student felt that the material should be made available online. A few students felt the price of the textbook was excessive, that there was not enough feedback given, and that the rules regarding what constitutes acceptable homework seemed arbitrary. Suggestions included clarifying the lectures/progression of the course material and utilizing a real textbook. Prospective students should know that it’s a difficult 100-level class and that it’s important to attend every lecture and pay close attention.
