The best parts of this course were the small class size that facilitated interaction and the volume of material learned. Many students found the grading to be ambiguous, and that the feedback provided did not give a clear indication as to why points were deducted. Questions on homework and exams were very vague. Students found lectures to be disorganized and the notes to be unhelpful resources. This class could be improved by having clear, in-depth rubrics for homework assignments, and focusing more on understanding concepts than minute details in homework and exams. Prospective students should know that this class is challenging.
