Professor: Lester Spence
The high points in this class included the nature of the subject covered, the smal class size which enabled discussion, and the engaging instructor. Professor Spence was a passionate instructor for this class and kept the discussion focused and moving. However, many students thought his feedback on work was too slow and would have liked a bit more guidance on the final project. Better guidance was the most common suggestion for improving the course. Prospective students should know that this course is intellectually interesting and has a fairly low workload.
