Students praised this course for covering interesting and challenging subject matter. Perceived issues with the course included a belief from some students that the course’s workload could be overwhelming at times. Suggestions for improvement also varied; however, multiple students wanted to see the 261instructor include more examples from different sources in the course. Prospective students should know that students found the course to be chal enging and time consuming; however, students also found that the course built on the foundation they had established from earlier courses.
