Students appreciated that the course focused on a variety of interesting, yet relevant topics throughout the semester. Students were given the opportunity to learn about topics of their choice. Some students noted that there was a lack of feedback and heavy focus on the presentation. It was suggested that the course incorporate a different style of lecture to include presenters that are more versed on the given topic. Prospective students should know that little to no background is required, and the course is focused around a presentation.
