The best aspect of the course was the interesting subject matter. The course topic was very relevant to current events and the professor was able to go in-depth into the subject because he was very knowledgeable. The worst aspects of the course included the professor’s inability to relate and effectively communicate with the students. The course was also very heavy on reading and writing. The course could improve if the readings were significantly reduced and if the professor communicated better with his students. Prospective students should know that this course is reading and writing intensive.
