The best aspects of the course were the professor’s expert perspective on subjects and the modern, interesting and fun topics covered. Students found lectures to be engaging, and appreciated the professor’s inclusion of question and answer sessions into every lecture. There were few graded assignments and the long readings were challenging. To improve this class, students suggested having fewer assigned readings, better organized exams, and more assignments to even out the workload. Prospective students should know that completing the readings and few graded assignments wil determine success in the course.
